Atomic stuck with what works when it designed its Backland Tour Binding--its intuitive design aims to make touring an efficient experience by combing a classic two-pin toe piece with a streamlined heel piece. A small metal bar extends across the binding to guide your boot's tech fittings into the pins as you step into the binding, eliminating the chance of overshooting the pins to save time during transitions. Atomic also widened the mounting pattering of the binding, which helps improve power transmission to the ski and strengthen binding retention to reduce the risk of pullouts when you're skiing aggressively in less-than-ideal conditions. Putting an emphasis on simplicity, Atomic designed the heel to rotate in both directions and equipped it with two heel risers to adapt to varying terrain and slope angles although, your touring partners will appreciate it if you keep your skin track as mellow as possible.

We consider a full-function AT binding to have adjustable release, adjustable boot sole length, three touring heel levels, and optional brakes. The Atomic Backland Tour &#40;and identical but co-branded, Salomon Mtn&#41; is nearly the lightest binding we have ever tested with all four of these key attributes. Only the co award-winning Marker Alpinist betters the weight of the Atomic. It was easy to grant this our highest award, and it is easy to recommend these bindings to you. 
Now, this choice may be a little intimidating. First, these AT bindings are relatively minimal in appearance. Fear not, as we have tested them thoroughly and have had no major performance or durability issues. Especially when compared to much heavier touring bindings, these award winners are actually more durable and reliable. If anything, the simple construction is its greatest performance and durability attribute. Next, there is no certification of the release values. So-called "DIN" certification is something that alpine skiers are conditioned to look for, and this binding does not have that. Nor does the Marker Alpinist or most other suitable options. To attain that certification, the bindings need to be at least double the weight, and when touring in the backcountry, that additional weight is not worth it. The Atomic Backland bindings release but are not certified in that release by a third party. We feel that if you need certified release to ski as hard as you want, you are likely skiing harder in the backcountry than maybe you should be. The backcountry is a high consequence environment regardless of the certification your bindings have. Nonetheless, if you insist on having high-energy downhill performance and DIN certification, check out the Marker KingPin 13, Fritschi Tecton, Dynafit Rotation ST, Marker Duke PT, or Salomon Shift.

Best Backcountry Ski Bindings of 2022 - GearLab

While the Salomon MTN / Atomic Backland Tour binding doesn’t have any really flashy new tech or radical design features, it’s still a solid, simple, and efficient tech binding that’s performed very well on the up, and pretty well on the down. The MTN / Backland Tour works really well on the skintrack, allows for quick transitions, skis pretty well for its weight, and has few parts that could potentially break in the backcountry. All of this makes it a pretty good all-around option for those that prioritize low weight and simplicity over maximum downhill performance.

Boots Used: Scarpa Maestrale RS; Nordica Strider 120; Tecnica Zero G Tour Pro; Atomic Backland Carbon

 But if you’re not charging in your lightweight touring gear — i.e., you’re actually using it how it’s meant to be used — the MTN / Backland Tour is a strong overall performer.

And for the record, this is a great example of how good backcountry skiers have it these days.

I have a pair of Blizzard Rustler 10s with the Look Pivot 15 CAST system. Love the setup but it's a tad heavy -- I've been looking at the Blaze 106 as well as an alternative. I'd just swap the CAST bindings onto the Blaze and put a regular Look pivot on the Blizzards. But anyways - if you're looking at some slightly heavier skis that would work for 70/30, I'd add the Blizzard Rustler 10 to the list

Hey guys, 

i need some help deciding which backcountry skis to buy. I have been skiing the Volkl Gotama the past seven years, and they are totally fine for what they are - i only use them for resorting and off-piste. The Gotamas are really nice in deep powder, but they aren’t that playful and fun. I find them a bit to stiff, and not very agile. Its also worth noting that we don’t get deep powder every week, so it would be nice to have something that also works for harsher conditions. I currently have a pair of Salomon QST pro 100 boots that works fine for skinning, and i have decided on the Salomon Shift bindings. I will probably use them 70/30 resorting and skinning. Im 180cm and weight in at 80kg. I don’t have much experience skinning and i know weight is important, but i don’t feel like going narrower than 95 (feel free to argue against me). 

These are the skis that are currently available in my area:
- Volkl Mantra M6
- volkl Mantra 102
- Volkl Blaze 106
- Black Crows Navis Freebird
- Black Crows Camox Freebird
- Atomic Backland 100
- Atomic Backland 107
- K2 Wayback 106
- K2 Wayback 96
- Blizzard Zero G 105
- Blizzard Zero G 95
- Salomon N QST 106
- Salomon N QST 98

Thanks!

New backcountry skis

It’s been narrowed down to the Look Pivot 15 GW, Marker Griffon 13 ID, and the Marker Jester 16 ID (18 Pro is the same price as 16). I’m finding the Griffons are ~ $100 cheaper, Pivots are highly regarded as indestructible, and Jesters are beefier Griffons. I’ll likely have these skis for a long time and will be skiing around 80 days this winter so I need my binding to hold up well.

 I've been on it for a while and it's got all you want. On that note, this is why most freestyle and slopestyle skiers trust Look, just like me. I trust Look. Thank you for watching
