ATOMIC Backland 108 W are women’s skis designed for ambitious skiers heading out on ski touring adventures in demanding mountain terrain and looking for a wide model focused on deep snow. With a waist width of approximately 108–109 mm depending on length, they belong among the wider skis in the Backland range. The supplied product information highlights a combination of improved flotation in deep snow and more efficient climbing while touring, within a lightweight construction designed with a reduced environmental impact in mind.
The construction is based on a wood core, with the technology list specifying Ultra Light Woodcore, while the technical description uses the designation Light Woodcore. As the supplied information contains both terms, we do not reconcile them without an additional verified source. The construction is complemented by HRZN 3D Backland, FreeTour Profile, Directional Shape, Fiberglass and Dura Cap Sidewall. The Powder Rocker 25/55/20 profile clearly defines the model’s focus on skiing in soft and deep snow.
The dimensions vary depending on length. The 158 cm version measures 130.5-108-119.5 mm, the 167 cm version 132-108.5-121 mm, and the longest 176 cm version 133.5-109-122.5 mm. As the ski gets longer, the tip and tail dimensions increase slightly, as does the waist width. The turn radius ranges from 14.5 m at 158 cm, through 16 m at 167 cm, up to 17.5 m at 176 cm.
According to the product classification, ATOMIC Backland 108 W are supplied without bindings. This allows the skier to select an appropriate ski touring binding according to the intended use, ski boots and other requirements for the complete setup. No specific recommended binding model or binding specifications are provided in the supplied information, so we do not add them without an additional source.
Who are these skis designed for
ATOMIC Backland 108 W are primarily designed for ambitious women heading out on ski touring adventures in demanding mountain terrain who are looking for wide skis with a strong focus on deep snow. Their character is defined primarily by a 108–109 mm waist depending on length, Powder Rocker 25/55/20 and construction elements focused on freeride touring.
The model is particularly suitable for skiers who:
are looking for women’s skis for ski touring and demanding mountain terrain
want a model focused on deep snow
require improved flotation in deep snow
want to combine downhill-focused performance with more efficient climbing on tours

Backland 108 W combine wide dimensions, Powder Rocker 25/55/20, HRZN 3D Backland, FreeTour Profile and Directional Shape with a construction intended for ski touring and deep snow. The 108–109 mm waist width depending on length clearly shows that soft and deep snow is a key area of use for this model.
How the skis perform
ATOMIC Backland 108 W use a Powder Rocker 25/55/20 profile. The supplied information states this profile directly but does not explain the exact meaning of the individual values or their units. We therefore do not interpret them beyond the manufacturer’s designation without an additional source. Combined with the wide waist and HRZN 3D Backland technology, the model is designed, according to the supplied product description, to provide improved flotation in deep snow.
The turn radius varies by length from 14.5 to 17.5 m. The 158 cm length has a 14.5 m radius, the 167 cm version 16 m, and the 176 cm length 17.5 m. The product classification therefore places the model in the medium- and long-radius categories depending on the selected length.
Directional Shape together with FreeTour Profile and HRZN 3D Backland are additional characteristic elements of the model. However, the supplied information does not provide a detailed description of how the individual technologies behave in specific skiing situations. We therefore do not add unsupported performance characteristics beyond the stated focus on demanding mountain terrain, deep snow and ski touring use.
How to read the specifications
Dimensions 130.5-108-119.5 to 133.5-109-122.5 mm
The dimensions of ATOMIC Backland 108 W vary by length:
158 cm – 130.5-108-119.5 mm
167 cm – 132-108.5-121 mm
176 cm – 133.5-109-122.5 mm
The waist width is therefore 108 mm at 158 cm, 108.5 mm at 167 cm and 109 mm at 176 cm. All three versions correspond with the product classification placing the waist width in the 100–135 mm category.
Turn radius 14.5–17.5 m
The turn radius is specified separately for each length:
158 cm – 14.5 m
167 cm – 16 m
176 cm – 17.5 m
According to the product classification, the 158 and 167 cm lengths fall within the medium-radius category of 14–17 m, while the 176 cm length with a 17.5 m radius belongs to the long-radius category above 17 m.
Lengths 158–176 cm
The model is available in 158, 167 and 176 cm lengths.
The specific length should be selected according to the skier’s height, weight, skiing ability, experience, preferred terrain and requirements for the complete ski touring setup.
Weight – value missing from the source
In the technical information, the Weight field contains “Deep Ocean/Redwood”, which is also the value listed for Colour.
The actual ski weight therefore cannot be reliably determined from the supplied information. We treat “Deep Ocean/Redwood” as the colour designation within the source data and do not provide a specific weight without an additional verified source.
Powder Rocker 25/55/20
ATOMIC Backland 108 W use a Powder Rocker 25/55/20 profile.
This designation is stated directly in both the technology list and the technical description. However, the supplied information does not explain the individual 25/55/20 values or their units, so we do not convert them into a specific percentage or length distribution without an additional source.
Technologies and construction
Ultra Light Woodcore / Light Woodcore
The product classification specifies a wood core. The technology list contains the designation Ultra Light Woodcore, while the technical description states Light Woodcore.
As the supplied information uses two different designations, we do not reconcile them or determine which one is correct for this specific model without an additional verified source. Based on the available information, it can be reliably stated that the model uses a wood core.
HRZN 3D Backland
The technical description lists HRZN 3D Backland among the construction elements.
At the same time, the technology list contains the designation “HRZN 3D MAVERICK/MAVEN”, which differs from the term stated directly in the technical description for this model. We therefore retain the specific HRZN 3D Backland designation from the technical description and do not reconcile this discrepancy in the source data without additional supporting information.
FreeTour Profile
ATOMIC Backland 108 W use FreeTour Profile.
This technology is listed both in the technology section and in the technical construction description. However, the available information does not provide further specific technical parameters for this profile, so we do not add characteristics beyond the manufacturer’s designation.
Directional Shape
The model uses Directional Shape.
This construction feature is listed both in the technology section and in the technical description. The supplied information does not provide specific dimensional or construction details explaining Directional Shape on this model, so we do not expand the designation with additional unsupported claims.
Fiberglass
According to the supplied information, Fiberglass is also part of the construction.
However, the technical description does not specify the exact placement, quantity or orientation of the fiberglass within the construction. We therefore do not add specific claims about its effect on flex, torsional stiffness or other performance characteristics.
Dura Cap Sidewall
ATOMIC Backland 108 W use Dura Cap Sidewall construction.
This designation is included in both the technology list and the technical description. However, the exact construction and material composition of the sidewalls are not described in greater detail in the supplied information, so we do not add properties beyond the technology name.
Glossy Topsheet
According to the technical description, the model features a Glossy Topsheet.
This is the designation of the top surface finish listed directly among the construction elements. Further material or functional characteristics of this layer are not specified in the supplied information.
Edge angles
The technical description specifies the following factory values:
Side Edge Angle: 87°
Base Edge Angle: 1.3°
Standard Edge
These values describe the edge angles stated by the manufacturer in the technical information. No further specifications regarding the construction or dimensions of the edges are provided.
Carbon Footprint Reduction –26%
The additional features include Carbon Footprint Reduction –26%.
However, the source does not specify the calculation methodology, reference product or baseline against which the 26% reduction is measured. We therefore retain the manufacturer’s stated figure without further interpretation or unsupported explanation.
