Terrain
Alpine Touring Also known as backcountry skis, alpine touring (AT) skis are designed for going uphill as well as downhill. These skis are typically light for their width and many feature fittings that accept climbing skins. AT skis vary in width and weight, with the wider heavier versions usually used for winter/deep snow touring and the skinnier, lighter skis usually used for spring/summer/long distance touring.

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Camber/Rocker
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/Rocker skis have the playfulness and float of a rockered ski as well as the added edge hold of a cambered ski. The contact points on skis with this profile are closer towards the middle of the ski than a fully cambered ski, but still not underfoot. The cambered midsection provides a longer effective edge on hardpack, increasing edge hold and stability, while the rockered tip and tail provide floatation in deeper snow and allow the ski to initiate and release from turns easier.

Tail Type:
Partial Twin Tip
More
Tail Type
Partial Twin Tip Partial twin tip skis have a tail that is turned up, but not as much as the tip. This gives you the ability to ski backwards and back out of tight spaces, but these skis are mainly designed to ski forward.

Atomic Shift MNC 10 Alpine Touring Ski Bindings 2021
Ski-touring isn't just about skiing steep, consequential lines or hucking cliffs. The Atomic Shift MNC 10 Alpine Touring Ski Bindings provide the same versatility and smooth touring function as the original model in a lower DIN version that opens up the backcountry to lighter, less aggressive skiers. Converting from a conventional binding in ski mode to a fully "pinned" tech toe for skinning, the Shift MNC 10 is a superb choice for those looking to ski both lift-served and backcountry terrain on a single setup.

Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD 115 W Alpine Touring Ski Boots - Women's 2021
Freedom means different things to different people. For backcountry skiers, it might be the sweet release of a smooth 54˚ range of motion on the skin track, confidence inspiring downhill performance that encourages you to open it up on the runout, or simply the ability to roam free in a powder playground. The Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD 115 W Alpine Touring Ski Boots have served it up neat for years and the latest model is better than ever, with all new Mimic liners, women's specific cuff design, and dependable, lightweight performance both in and out of bounds.
Product Details
Fit
Last: 98 mm – A narrow and low volume touring last.
Memory Fit – Advanced heat-fitting technology creates a fully personalized shell, cuff and liner in minutes. The key is Memolink, Atomic's special additive that improves the moldability and stretch of their plastics. Expansion can be up to 6mm forefoot width and up to 10mm ankle width, resulting in a permanent and complete anatomical fit in minutes. See your bootfitter for details.
Women's Specific Cuff – Specifically designed for female skiers, this cuff features wider, more fluted calf areas and a shorter cuff height for a secure, comfortable fit.
Flex
Flex: 115 – A very stiff flex for maximum power and response, suitable for very fast and aggressive skiers.
True Flex – This Atomic-exclusive shell material provides the same flex in a wide variety of temperatures so your boot won't feel too stiff in the winter or lose power in the spring.
Liner
Mimic Platinum W Liner with Touring Flex Zone – This is a boot that feels right from the very start. The heel, ankle, and tongue feature a layer of supportive, heat-moldable material. After being softened in the oven, this material mimics the precise shape of your foot and hardens for a perfect custom fit.
Shell Materials
Prolite – Instead of starting with a standard construction and cutting material away to save weight, Prolite does the opposite. It starts with the slimmest possible profile and then builds up reinforcements in key areas where strength is needed - like the Energy Backbone down each boot spine.
Energy Backbone – A reinforced, asymmetric backbone providing extra strength for powerful skiing plus enhanced lateral energy transmission for better edge grip.
Shell – True Flex Polyurethane
Cuff – Polyurethane
Stance
Forward Lean – 15˚ (Default) / 17˚
Ski/Walk Mode
Free / Lock 2.0 – 54˚ Range of Motion with 13˚ (Default) and 15˚ Adjustable Forward Lean Options. Simple, Light and Bombproof.
