Backland 109 Ski keeps touring light and powder days playful with float, control, and energy
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"The Backland 109 is the perfect blend of uphill efficiency and downhill fun. It feels super light on the skin track, but when I drop in, it’s stable and responsive. The HRZN 3D tip gives it incredible float on deep days, and the camber underfoot keeps me in control when conditions get variable. It’s become my go-to touring ski for big powder missions."
Who It’s For
Intermediate to Expert Backcountry Skiers:
The Backland 109 is ideal for skiers who want a touring ski that saves energy on the climb without sacrificing downhill confidence. It’s perfect for powder seekers, backcountry explorers, and freeriders who need one lightweight setup for big missions and storm-day lines alike.
What It’s For
Powder Touring with All-Conditions Control:
With a 109mm waist, rocker-camber-rocker profile, and HRZN 3D tip, the Backland 109 thrives in soft snow while staying stable in variable terrain. It’s designed for long tours, big backcountry objectives, and deep powder lines where efficiency and control are equally important.
Why We Like It
Lightweight Touring Meets Powder Float:
We like the Backland 109 because it trims weight without losing stability. The poplar and caruba core offers energy and dampness, the FreeTour Profile boosts performance on the descent, and the HRZN 3D tip ensures float even on storm days. It’s light on the climb, fun on the drop, and built for adventurous touring skiers.
