Even though the Tracer 108 is firmly focused on outstanding downhill performance, we’re always searching for the perfect combination of weight reduction and stability in this category. That’s why for 20/21 we paired an even lighter Poplar-Caruba wood core to a larger fiberglass package resulting in further decreased weight and added durability. The Tracer 108 ups the performance ante with dampening Adaptive Mesh, Titanal Reinforcement underfoot and AR 75 Sidewall construction to create just the right feel whether used by freeriding or touring enthusiasts.

The crown jewel of the Tracer Series, the Tracer 98 is your everyday off-piste ski built with versatility in mind. A layer of Adaptive Mesh keeps the ride damp and stable while the beveled top-edges create a lighter ski that can handle anything your ski legs throw its way. For 20/21 we paired a superlight, 100% Caruba Wood core to a more durable fiberglass construction making the Tracer 98 even lighter and more durable. The quickest edge-to-edge and best performing on the hardpack the Tracer 98 is the true 1-ski quiver from resort to backcountry.

The Atomic Backland Carbon is the star of our Backland Series. It’s the most downhill-oriented Backland touring boot we make – but it doesn’t sacrifice uphill performance. A washable, breathable liner keeps your feet dry, and the Boa Fit System makes tightening the boot easy. Frictionless Pivot gives you the freedom of movement to move quickly up the mountain in total comfort. The Free / Lock 4.0 system keeps the boot easy to maneuver heading up, then lets you lock in the cuff for a smooth downhill session. The Carbon Spine offers stiffness and control – with a progressive flex on par with our Hawx Prime 110 S. When you’re done, you’ll want to head right back uphill.

Meet the Atomic Hawx Prime XTD 130 Tech GW. A ski boot for both all mountain skiing and freeride touring. This ready-to-hike boot is the next evolution – the legendary feel, skiing power and all mountain capability of Hawx with the touring ability of the Backland. Designed for people with medium feet, it brings you Prolite construction for more strength with less weight, and a Mimic Platinum Liner – a highly customizable liner that molds to the shape of your foot, with a Touring Flex Zone for uphill. The word “Tech” in the name means it has tech inserts for the uphill – along with Frictionless Pivot and Free/Lock 4.0 ski-to-walk mechanism for epic natural movement. The GripWalk soles offer more walking comfort without losing performance while skiing. This is a real one-boot quiver.

With the Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD 120 CT GW, the line between all-mountain skiing and freeride touring is thinner than ever. Combining the skiing power and all-mountain capability of Hawx with the epic natural movement of Backland, effortless ascending has arrived. Free/Lock 2.0 ski-to-walk mechanism and Frictionless Pivot deliver unbeatable uphill performance. Complete Tech inserts in the toe and heel allow for maximum binding compatibility. The 120 model has a slightly softer plastic construction than the Hawx Ultra XTD 130 CT GW model but offers the same highly customizable Mimic Platinum liner to exactly match your foot shape. The Touring Flex Zone adds even more comfort and a GripWalk sole offers walking comfort with no sacrifices to on-snow performance. All mountains, one boot!

Blending all-mountain and freeride touring, the Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD 120 CT GW is a high performance ski boot for skiers with narrow feet.

The Ferox was born from the necessity of offering a bi-tip, double rocker, powder type touring ski which is still efficient on the edges. So, the objective is the powder and the sensation of floating on the snow. But the soul remains alpine to adapt to all conditions encountered while touring.

Equipped with a tail tip and a double rocker, this is a ski which offers great sensations in powder with its planing and immediate pivot, but which still sits well on hard snow. To optimise its weight (3.6 kg 181 cm), the Ferox was conceived on a 3D shape drawn in an H which cuts the upper part of the ski and lightens it without altering its solidity due to a carbon reinforcement which adopts this 3D shape. The core was also made lighter with a mix of paulownia, poplar and, for the first time with Black Crows, isocore (a polyurethane mousse strengthened with continuous glass fibre).

If you are searching for the perfect tool to discover the perfect backcountry run, look no more. Blizzard’s 105mm waisted Zero G feels at home in the skin track, and then really shows its colors after you pull skins and transition into reward mode for the payoff. Our engineers, who personally test prototypes in the Austrian Alps, have been on the same search as you. They are proud to supply Carbon Drive 2.0 and a customized shape for the true freeride backcountry adventure.

The introduction of the Mantra marked the beginning of Volkl's powerful freeriding ski lines. For those who want to ride free without any restrictions but with the full control of a sportive off-piste ski. The new Blaze series even adds another dimension to the idea. The concept of the ski targets the intuitive freerider who appreciates a playful and at the same time agile and sportive maneuverability.

At 106 mm under the binding Blaze 106 weighs only 1772 g (@ 186 length), providing all the lift to make every powder day a dream come true. A just 0.3 mm thick Titanal binding platform provides direct power transfer and a fast pressure built-up from one edge to another. This gives the ski a most direct response right from the turn initiation. In order to preserve the full flexibility and agility there is intentionally no Titanal included in the tip and the tail. Especially in narrow and rough terrain you will directly benefit from the ski's faster and more direct reaction and with less effort required. The 3D radius sidecut significantly enhances the ski's liveliness and maneuverability. The Blaze construction targets the short turn-oriented skier but the 3D radius together with the tip to tail Hybrid Multilayer Woodcore adapts to basically every riding style.

A great new feature is the Suspension Tip which makes its debut in the Blaze series. This elastic rubbery material on the edges of the tip and the tail acts like a bumper everytime the ski gets in contact with the snow in wind-blown or tracked conditions. The shock-absorbing elasticity ensures not only the resistance but also provides great lift off-piste.
