"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""The Backland 101 is my favorite balance of uphill efficiency and downhill fun. It’s light enough for long tours, grips well on the skintrack, and still feels lively when carving turns. The rocker profile makes it playful in soft snow, while the camber keeps it reliable when things get firm. A really dependable daily touring ski.""Who It’s ForIntermediate to Advanced Backcountry Skiers:This ski is designed for skiers who prioritize lightweight touring efficiency but want real downhill performance too. Ideal for those exploring backcountry terrain, tight trees, and technical lines while still wanting a ski that can float and carve with confidence. What It’s ForBackcountry Touring and Powder Chasing:The Backland 101 shines on long tours, variable snow, and powder days. The 101mm waist offers a sweet spot between uphill weight savings and downhill float, while the rocker/camber/rocker profile provides both agility in soft snow and edge hold on firm, steep descents. Why We Like ItWeight Savings Meets Reliable Control:We like the Backland 101 because it doesn’t compromise between touring efficiency and downhill confidence. The poplar and caruba core keeps the ski light yet damp, fiberglass laminates boost durability, and the sintered base ensures fast glides out of the backcountry. It’s a do-it-all touring ski that inspires trust."
