2026 Atomic Backland JR Skis with Atomic Colt 7 Bindings
The 2026 Atomic Backland Junior with Atomic Colt 7 Bindings is a lightweight, all-mountain setup designed to help young skiers take their first steps beyond the groomers. Inspired by Atomic’s proven Backland series, this ski blends maneuverability and confidence-building stability, making it an ideal tool for exploring soft snow and off-trail terrain.
Why we like it:
We love how Atomic distilled the Backland DNA into a grom-sized package without losing its adventurous spirit. It’s easy to handle, forgiving, and smooth through variable terrain—exactly what kids need when they’re pushing into new zones.
Who it's for:
Perfect for junior skiers who are ready to venture beyond the resort and explore sidecountry lines or even try light touring. This ski encourages progression with a feel that builds confidence in soft and mixed conditions.
Highlights:
The Backland Junior uses a lightweight Densolite core that keeps things playful and easy to manage. Atomic’s Directional Shape and Dura Cap Sidewall provide a solid edge hold and extra durability, while the all-mountain rocker ensures smooth turn initiation and stability when the snow gets variable. With multiple waist widths depending on length, the ski evolves with the skier, offering the right feel at every stage.
Things to consider:
While this ski thrives in off-trail and soft snow, it’s built more for progression than aggressive charging. Junior skiers who want a stiffer, resort-focused freeride option might consider something burlier.
Fit & sizing considerations:
These skis run true to size. Size down for added maneuverability or up for more float and stability as kids grow and gain confidence.
