Product Summary
The ski in details
Built for spirited, big mountain skiing, the new Backland 109 offers better float and more touring efficiency in a lighter weight, lower-impact design.
FreeTour Profile uses more poplar wood, less metal, less fiberglass and resin to create a more harmonious flex pattern for lively performance. The 109mm waist combined with a lightweight HRZN 3D tip produces more float in deep snow and a full ash wood inlay provides added security under the binding. A poplar and caruba Ultra Light Woodcore offers the ideal balance of low weight and optimum performance. Powder Rocker delivers a pronounced tip and tail with camber underfoot for effortless, playful maneuverability in powder, crud, and chop. By utilizing more lower-carbon raw materials, the design reduces environmental waste and cuts CO2 equivalent emissions by 26%. Inspired by Chris Rubens, it’s the ideal balance of performance and weight that makes this the ultimate freeride touring ski.
