Product Summary
The ski in details
For ambitious female skiers who tour in big terrain, the Backland 108 W offers more float and more touring efficiency in a light weight, lower-impact design.
Built for spirited big mountain ski touring, the new 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%. 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.
