2027 Atomic Backland 102 Skis with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings

The 2027 Atomic Backland 102 with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings is a freeride touring ski for skiers who refuse to trade away downhill performance to save weight on the climb. It belongs to the Backland Freeride family, tuned for people who value the descent as much as the adventure up. We paired the Backland 102 with the Tyrolia Attack 14 GW because of the Attack’s light weight, reliability, and ease-of-use for all mountain and freeride skiers. Additionally, ample elastic travel and direct power transmission function to ensure these bindings cater perfectly to the needs of demanding freeriders.

Why we like it:

The weight-to-performance balance stands out. It is genuinely light to tour on, yet it stays calm and planted on the way down instead of chattering like many ultralight skis. That combination is hard to find and pays off on big days.

Who it's for:

Backcountry skiers at the advanced and expert level who want a freeride-minded touring ski belong on this one. It suits people who log real vertical and expect a ski that earns its keep on both the ascent and the descent.

Highlights:

The HRZN 3D tip leads the way, a beveled, contoured nose that grows surface area and gets the ski planing fast in soft snow while resisting hooking once the slope tracks out. A FreeTour Profile mixes powder rocker with enough underfoot camber to stay engaged on edge, so weight savings do not cost it bite. The Ultra Light Woodcore anchors the build, keeping the ski climber-friendly without turning nervous downhill, and fiberglass with Dura Cap sidewalls strikes the balance between stiffness and damping. With a low stand height of just 17 millimeters, the 2027 Tyrolia Attack 14 offers an impressively close connection to the snow, delivering precise power transmission and a confident, locked-in feel. The FR Pro3 toe piece allows for a full 180 degrees of boot release, enhancing safety in a variety of fall scenarios, while the AFS (Anti-Friction Slider) ensures reliable re-centering and consistent release characteristics. Built to withstand hard use, the Attack 14 combines durability with performance, making it a go-to option for aggressive skiers who demand trust in their gear.

Things to consider:

Built to tour, it is lighter and softer than a resort-bred freeride ski. Skiers who push hard inbounds at lift speeds will find it less composed than a more robust charger.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Thanks to the rocker profile it skis a touch short for its length, so holding your usual size works, with room to go up one for float.
