Atomic Backland Summit 12 Binding

Picture an early alpine start, skins on, with miles of untouched snow ahead: the Atomic Backland Summit 12 is built for exactly that kind of day. This pin binding pairs a featherweight tech toe and heel with real touring performance, so every step up the skin track feels efficient and every turn down feels solid underfoot. The AutoFlex System lets the ski flex naturally beneath your boot, soaking up chatter on rough snow so your legs stay fresher for the next lap, while adjustable release values give you the confidence to push into steeper, more committing terrain. A climbing aid that flips between three angles and a step-in aid that lines your boot up on the first try mean less fiddling at the transition and more time actually skiing. Whether you are linking quick laps in the sidecountry or heading deep into multi-day terrain, this binding is built to keep up with committed backcountry skiers who want gear that disappears underfoot and lets them focus on the descent.
