Product Description

The Atomic Backland 78 UL is a lightweight touring ski designed for backcountry adventures where every gram counts. It’s built to help you move efficiently uphill while still offering the stability needed on varied snow conditions.

Part of Atomic’s Classic Light range, each ski weighs just 850 g at 163 cm, so you’ll notice less fatigue on long approaches. With a 78 mm waist, it strikes a balance between grip on firmer snow and enough surface underfoot to handle softer sections. The 111/79/100 mm shape and 15.5 m radius work together to make turns more responsive without feeling overly twitchy, and the flat mount means you can pair it with the binding system of your choice for a slim, lightweight setup.

The sidecut dimensions (111–79–100 mm) influence how the ski transitions from edge to edge: a narrower waist helps maintain contact on hard slopes, while the wider tip and tail offer support in softer snow. The 15.5 m radius describes the natural turning arc, so you know roughly how tight or sweeping your turns will be. A flat binding mount keeps the ski low to the snow and avoids extra mounting hardware, helping to preserve that sub-900 g weight.

Atomic says about the Backland 78 UL

Built for fast and light touring, Backland 78 UL is an ultralight weight touring ski for ski mountaineering missions. Constructed with ultralight Carbon Fiberglass and Atomic’s Ultra Light Woodcore for extremely lightweight skiing performance, this ski delivers exceptionally efficient and fast climbing. The All Mountain Rocker allows for smooth and stable performance on the descent while the HRZN Tech in the tip floats in fresh snow and charges through chop and crud. A cut-out notch in the tips makes transitioning the pre-fit skins quick and easy. With a narrower profile than the Backland 85 UL, this ski craves to climb. The UL range offers the lightest skis Atomic makes.
