Description

Slightly wider than the Backland 78, the Backland 85 is particularly effective on powder snow. These few extra millimetres in width make for a lighter ski, but it retains the key ingredients of the Atomic Backland recipe: ultra-light wooden core for a good balance between lightness and dynamism, carbon reinforcements for more stability, directional shape with a rocker at the front for a fun behaviour, etc.

What is the programme of the Atomic Backland 85?   

The Backland 85 is an ultra-versatile touring ski, offering everything you need to explore the ski area and descend in various terrains and conditions. It works just as well on hard snow as it does on powder, thanks to the grip offered by the traditional camber, the lift offered by its rocker and the flotation offered by its width. It is truly a versatile ski, not a monster of performance, but a ski that turns easily and allows you to enjoy various snow conditions. And all this with a light weight which makes it very pleasant in the ascents.  

Who is the Atomic Backland 85 ski for?   

This model is suitable for intermediate skiers who have never experienced ski touring before and who are looking for a gentle introduction to ski touring, as well as for more experienced skiers who are looking for a ski that is lighter for the ascents and can ski comfortably on different types of snow.

Tips and advice

How to choose the length of your skis?

How to choose the size of your piste and all-mountain skis?
On glisshop.co.uk, you may feel overwhelmed by the amount of products we sell. How can you find the right skis, which ones can suit your level, your style or your budget?

Your options: 

1. The advanced search engine: You'll find it everywhere on our website, as a sidebar on our listing pages. It allows you to select conditions and refine your selection: brand, level, style, etc. When you select them, only the relevant products will show. 

2. You can contact us on the 020 3129 3301: skis feature fine technologies and affect your safety. It is important to make sure that the skis you've selected will suit you. Call our landline and get in touch with our team for any questions regarding these products. 

During the process or your order, we'll ask you to complete a form about the mounting of your bindings. With these details, we will be able to mount the bindings with the correct settings. The release value of the bindings is set by a professional skiman, and according to the norm AFNOR FD S 52-748.

If you don't have your own ski boots when you order, the bindings will be pre-mounted. The final settings can be done :

- by a shop if you are renting your ski boots

- by our skiman : you can call us for any technical questions. Our skiman will do the final settings for you. Telephone : 020 3129 3301

All skis you purchase on our website are factory-waxed and tuned. This means they are ready to hit the slopes. However, gear tends to wear and in order to keep it in its best shape, you need to maintain base and edges on a regular basis.

Maintaining your skis is essential for a smooth glide and a solit grip. Frequency of maintenance may vary depending on how often you use your skis, or on how damaged they are. We recommend you to wax them every 10 riding days and at the end of the season. Edges need to be tuned up to 2 times per season if you want to keep a good edge control. However, don't overdo it. Tuning is basically scraping off material. If you do it too often, the edges will vanish after some time.

When your base is damaged and shows shallow scratches or rock gouge, it is possible to repair it.

You can get these repairs done by professional ski shop, or if the gouge is only superficial you may repair it yourself. To do so, you will need special tools and materials such as wax, Ptex for repairing bases, edge sharpeners, etc. You can find them on our website.

All products benefit from a manufacturer guarantee, as long as the damage is caused by a manufacturing defect (may it be hidden or obvious).

Usually, the manufacturer guarantee lasts two years.

Only the manufacturer is able to decide if there has been a 'manufacturing defect' or a 'misuse'. Glisshop is only an intermediary between you and the manufacturer.

The manufacturer's guarantee will not apply if the problem comes from a misuse.
