Built for spirited big mountain ski touring, the women’s Backland 108 W offers sensational float and greater touring efficiency in a light weight, lower-impact design. FreeTour Profile uses more wood, and less fiberglass and resin to create a harmonious flex pattern that delivers powerful skiing performance.
A poplar and caruba Ultra Light Woodcore provides the ideal balance of low weight and optimal stiffness while a three-dimensional HRZN 3D tip adds more surface area for improved float in deeper snow. Powder Rocker delivers prominent tip and tail rocker with camber underfoot for effortless, playful handling in deep powder, crud, and chop.
A reinterpretation of the original Backland construction, this ski uses more wood and less fiberglass, metal, and resin to reduce material-based CO2 equivalent emissions by 26% (compared with the Backland 100, 2022). It’s this perfect blend of sturdiness and light weight that makes the Backland 108 W the ski of choice for freeride ski tourers like Amie Engerbretson.

This ski features a 1.3° base edge angle for easy turning, edge grip and tracking through the turn.
Minimal tail rocker for more edge contact creating better grip and stability.
A sidewall from the base to the top sheet of the ski enables controlled power transmission and excellent edge grip.
The rounded Dura Cap shape makes the ski significantly more durable, as it is less prone to scratches.
Thanks to continuous fiberglass layers, the ski is harmonious and stable to ride, while at the same time it scores with low weight and high dynamics.
A glossy topsheet gives your ski a polished, glassy finish for a super-sleek high-end look.
HRZN 3D features a broader, uniquely beveled three-dimensional tip and increases surface area to create a ski that floats better in powder and improves ski handling in variable conditions. Utilizing a thinner, almost see-through, perforated material in its construction, HRZN 3D also reduces the swing weight of the ski for easier, faster, more powerful skiing. HRZN 3D seamlessly integrates into the Dura Cap sidewall making for a hyper-responsive tip-to- sidewall-to-edge connection with added durability.

The core is made of ultralight wood (Poplar/Caruba), which ensures a really light ski that you will appreciate especially when climbing.
