We are offering skis with cosmetic defects. They are new, guaranteed by the manufacturer, and have no construction or manufacturing defects. Following an initial drilling, we have carefully filled the holes and installed a binding that covers the old holes. A classification based on their condition has been established: this ski has been classified as 3*, meaning it has minor visible defects. The Backland 78 is the narrowest model in the Atomic Backland range. Therefore, it is the lightest and most agile, making it the easiest to take on a ski touring adventure. Its construction with an Ultra Light Woodcore makes it dynamic on the descent, in addition to being a true featherweight (only 1,200 grams per ski in size 170 cm). It is the only model in the range not equipped with the Carbon Backbone reinforcement, making it particularly easy to handle. What is the Atomic Backland 78 + Alpinist 8 demo ski made for? With its 78 mm waist, small rocker at the front tip, and friendly flex, the Backland 78 is a ski that is really easy to manoeuvre. It is truly an ideal ski for recreational ski touring, as you can climb without tiring thanks to its light weight, and link turns with great ease on the descent. With it, you can enjoy beautiful tours in the ski area, preferably choosing descents where the snow is groomed, packed, or hard, as its width does not offer great possibilities in powder. However, its traditional camber ensures good edge grip. Who is the Atomic Backland 78 + Alpinist 8 demo ski aimed at? We recommend this model to intermediate to advanced skiers who are looking for a lightweight ski touring model that is easy to climb with, but still offers enjoyable skiability when descending.
