As the replacement to the ever-popular Backland 107 W, the Backland FR 108 W from Atomic keeps the same hard skiing performance people have come to enjoy but with a more playful twist. Featuring deeper rocker lines than its forbear, the Backland FR 108 easily slashes through powder and allows you to shut things down on a moment's notice, which is sure to come in handy during "brushy" and tight exits. In conjunction with its wider waist width, the beveled tip and generous rocker profile will provide ample flotation on even the deepest and dreamiest powder days. With an emphasis on carbon reduction, Atomic now uses more wood and less resin, metal, and fiberglass, which cuts down on the ski's carbon footprint without diminishing the damp feel definitive of the Backland series. Finally, the Dura Cap Sidewall helps protect the integrity of the edges against rock strikes while helping with confident edging in firm conditions. Equally at home making high-speed turns through a chute as it is searching for side hits on the out track, the Backland FR 108 W is an excellent option for most skiers.

  • HRZN 3D Backland tip helps reduce swing weight for easier turn initiation.
  • Ultra Light Wood Core features a blend of Poplar and Caruba wood for durability and weight savings.
  • Dura Cap Sidewall bodes well for durability and helps with edge bite in firm conditions.
  • Powder Rocker helps with maneuverability and flotation in deep and dreamy snow.

Question from John K
 
Can you guys recommend similar skis to this? I'm afraid I might overpower these skis (on the 167cm length at 5'6 150lb) which already seem to have a soft tip and certainly more tail rocker than the polarizing stiff tail of the old Backland 107 (maybe you can assuage my fears). I wish these came in a ~172cm range.

Hi John,

The Backland 109 is the same ski, available in longer lengths. They are very different from the older 107, much more rocker and overall more playful.

Thanks Brett. One more question. Could you contrast this ski with the Blizzard Zero G 105. I trying to choose between the two.

Answer from Emmett I
 
Hi Gary,

The Blizzard is fairly precise, especially for a 105. The new Backland is a very surfy, playful ski. Shoot us an email at help@skimo.co and we can get you some personalized recommendations!

Question from Gary
 
Is the mens ski Backland 109 and the women's ski Backland 108 the same construction? I see the 176 is the same dimensions it the 176.
