Atomic Backland 108 Ski - 2027 - Women's Deep Ocean/Redwood/Snow, 176cm

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying""I've skied a lot of touring setups and the Backland 108 W stands out for how little it asks of you on the way up. At 1310 grams in a 167, it just disappears underfoot on the skin track. Then you drop into powder and that 108mm waist and HRZN 3D shaping do their thing — it floats and turns without a fight. It's the kind of ski that makes big days feel manageable.""Intermediate to Advanced Powder-Focused Touring SkiersThe Backland 108 W is built for intermediate-to-advanced skiers who prioritize soft-snow performance on touring days. It suits skiers who want a lightweight setup that doesn't compromise on float or maneuverability when the descent involves deeper, untracked snow. Powder and Alpine Touring TerrainThe Backland 108 W is optimized for powder-heavy backcountry touring. The 25/55/20 rocker-camber-rocker profile and 108mm waist keep it at home in deeper conditions, while the short turn radius makes it agile on tighter lines and technical terrain. Ultralight Powder Build with Low-Carbon ConstructionThe Backland 108 W uses the same Ultra Light Woodcore of poplar and caruba found across the Backland series, kept honest by a reduced fiberglass and resin layup that cuts carbon dioxide equivalent emissions by 26%. The Dura Cap Sidewall delivers power transmission on the descent without adding unnecessary weight. HRZN 3D contoured tips and tails enhance float and maneuverability in powder and on steep technical pitches. At 1310g in a 167cm, it's a legitimate lightweight option that doesn't ask you to sacrifice downhill performance."
