Atomic Backland 98 W Skis · Women's · 2023 · 156 cm

The Atomic Backland Women's 98 Skis are for advanced female skiers who want to be able to go far and fast in the backcountry and the resort. At 98mm wide, with extra rocker and width in the tip, the Backland slashes through deep powder with ease. Built extremely lightweight and strong, skiers will feel just as confident on uphill climbs as they do skiing fast down groomers.
Key Features:
- Ultralight Woodcore — A core of Caruba and Poplar wood creates a very lightweight but strong ski.
- HRZN Tech Tips — Atomic's HRZN Tech adds surface area and a unique taper to the tip of the Backland. This improves performance and control in deep, choppy snow.
- Carbon Backbone — A long, light carbon rod runs through the length of the ski. This improves stability at speed without adding unnecessary weight.
- Dura Cap Sidewall — Sidewall from the top sheet to base for increased edge grip and maneuverability. The rounded shape of the dura cap increases the life of the ski and reduces the risk for chips.

 Pretty impressively light for what it is and how well it holds. Decent camber underfoot, but definitely more so in the tip and tail in terms of a rocker profile and to get that flotation, the rocker is one thing, the taper shape is another. So pretty tapered here, that's going to cut through the snow easily and give you that smoother performance and definitely a tapered shape in the tail. So widest parts right about here, so all of this back section of the ski is going to cut through the snow really well

 This we got a new ski here, this is an Atomic Backland 98. This is a women's version of the ski, the men's have a 100, so just a little bit narrower, but same ski overall. These backland skis have been pretty popular for a while, kind of that good mix of resort and backcountry, light enough for backcountry, but strong and stable enough for resort skiing. Just a really nice mix of all those performance qualities

 So pretty tapered here, that's going to cut through the snow easily and give you that smoother performance and definitely a tapered shape in the tail. So widest parts right about here, so all of this back section of the ski is going to cut through the snow really well. Also in terms of flotation, Atomic's HRZN or Horizon tips make a big difference with that. So what they've done here is they've kind of milled out this area in the tips, make it more of a convex shape and that mimics like what a boathole does in the water

 So they bevel the sides of the tips here making a more rounded shape. That allows the ski to stay on top, surf and plane over the snow. They increase the surface area without adding width. So that's a way that they make this float really well for its size

 Dura-cap construction, so it's half sidewall, half cap from here to here and then full cap through the tail and into the shovel. So light and easy on the swing weight. This is the 164 ways in Atomic States at 1200 grams per ski which is pretty darn light. They also use their carbon backbone on this ski so they inlay carbon stringers, you know, from the mid-foot back and then from the binding front forward

6 meter turn radius. So it is more on that s-turn type of path here. So you know, expect to be making shorter, more energetic turns on a ski like this. Again, for its weight, it gives a surprising amount of energy

 Pretty straight through the tail. You do get fantastic snap out of that. You know, if you're using it even just on a groomer, it just reacts really well. Excellent energy out of the turn

 These are in the tail in some skis as well, like the bent models, they tend to have it in the tail as well. Here we just have it in the tip, and what it's doing is it's basically just boosting flotation. So it's giving the tip more surface area, it's displacing more snow, like a displacement boat hull if you're a boating enthusiast, and it's a pretty cool design. It's not just cosmetic, it's not for looks

 Hey skiers, I'm Jeff from SkiEssentials.com. Welcome to our 2023 ski test. Today we're talking about the Women's Atomic Backland 98

 I'd say the lighter the wood core, the more technologically advanced it is. I know that's kind of like counterintuitive maybe, but that's the way that I think about it. And then we also get carbon stringers in this ski. So Atomic calls it carbon backbone, and essentially we just get a series of longitudinal carbon stringers that really give it a stronger and snappier flex pattern than you might expect from a ski this lightweight

 We've got, let's see, what length do we have here with us? This is the 172. We've got a Solomon Shift binding on here, so this thing's already pre-mounted with an extremely appropriate binding. And even with that binding, we're just over 2000 grams, we're 2150 grams. So as a total package with a shift binding on it, that's quite lightweight

The Salomon MTN Explore 95 is made for advanced backcountry skiers who seek long distance tours and far-off missions. A 95mm waist provides a wide footprint and works with a subtle tip rocker to keep the rider on top of the snow when both skinning and skiing. The 3D Karuba full woodcore, C/FX carbon weave, and Koroyd tip make the ski stable in a variety of conditions and terrain.
Key Features:
- 3D Karuba Full Woodcore – The woodcore construction gives the ski a classic feel with excellent stability and chatter absorption, while keeping it lightweight.
- C/FX Carbon Weave – Adding stability and rebound to the ski, the carbon weave provides extra power without excess weight.
Koroyd Tip – A wide honeycomb insert in the tip reduces swing weight and increases float, making the ski easier to maneuver.

 This is the Salmon Mountain Explore 95 ski, and as the name suggests, it's 95 millimeters under the foot, and it's got 130 in the shovel, so nice and fat for powder, and some early rise, and 116 in the tail, and that's for the 177 length ski. It weighs 1,400 grams per ski, so 2,800 grams per pair, and that again is the 177 length, so it's a really lightweight ski, ideal for ski touring. It comes in a few different sizes, 169, 177, 184 centimeter lengths, and the turn radius ranges from 16.5 meters to 18

 This is the same construction you're going to find on the QBC Labs skis we reviewed last year over here, and also on the Q98s, that review's over here, and the Q105s, that review's over here as well. And this technology basically lightens the tip and tail up for improved swing weight, and it also gives the ski no chatter, virtually no chatter on hard pack and groomer conditions. And I'd have to say Salmon's one of the only ski manufacturers that's really mastered this. These skis just have minimal chatter on hard pack, whereas other skis with this early rise, they chatter all over the place and start skidding out on you, so I'm really a big fan of this honeycomb tip and tail design

 It also uses what Salmon calls the G-Spot technology, and this is basically a combination of sidecut and rocker profile, and places the edge hold directly underfoot, so you've got better edge hold on the groomers and also in skinning uphill. It's got a built-in skin clip in the tail here, as you can see, and in the tips it's got Salmon's honeycomb construction. This is the same construction you're going to find on the QBC Labs skis we reviewed last year over here, and also on the Q98s, that review's over here, and the Q105s, that review's over here as well.

 The ski is 1,400 grams so super light for touring but with an alpine binding the thing is going to rip the entire mountain. Honeycomb tip, CFX super fiber to keep it nice and stable and of course full sandwich sidewall underfoot for excellent edge grip. All new for 2015-16 the MTN Explore 95.
