Manufacturers description
Backland 107 is the widest model in the Backland backcountry series. A ski with a 107 mm waist which, thanks to a full-length carbon fiber construction, only weighs in at 1550 grams in 182 length. A ski with HRZN tech for increased flow does best in soft snow, but does not do away with itself on harder surfaces. Fit a shift binding and you have a package that is easy to climb and stable and safe to carry out. This ski is also available with your own design which you arrange via the custom studio at atomic.com

Strengths:
It may seem that the ski is quite boring at first when you get a feel for how it works. The risk is then that you dismiss the ski then and move on to something else. But if you get past that and trust the ski, a different temperament emerges. Precisely because of the light weight, it is believed that it does not have the capacity to respond like other skis with slightly higher stamina in terms of weight versus speed. It can feel a little unsafe to really burn when the ski is so light, but there you are wrong. The ski holds for maximum speed in terms of the capacity you can handle. Now I'm talking advanced skiers. The feeling of being able to push to the max with a light ski that keeps the speed takes it further to something I have not experienced. The ease and control of the experience is unique. Control is only lost with your own ability. This is a lightweight monster!
Weaknesses:
Stylish design 2020
Summary:
Light and extremely stable at high speed on all natural snow
Model year: 2024
Riding style: Powder, crust, sugar
Length on the ski: 191 cm
Riders weight: 77 kg
Riders length: 180 cm

Strengths:
For me, it works for the most part. Due to the pandemic, I have only ridden them in Sweden and then Lofsdalen, Ramundberget and touring on Helags and the ski solved everything. The ski was safe and stable in carving turns with my teenage children, in the forest in Ramis and in strongly varied conditions at Helags.
In my opinion a fairly easy ski even though it is not soft. (May be due to too many hours in the gym.)
The ski is light and I, who have a Shift binding on, had no problems with the weight during a three-day tour of Helags.
Weaknesses:
If I try to swing with popular terms, I would say that it lacks some pop and playfulness.
Summary:
I have previously ridden on Salomon QST and probably think it is a slightly more fun ski, but Backland is suitable for those who want a predictable and safe ski that can handle most things without wanting to play so much. An excellent ski for us middle-aged skiers who do not really dare to step into the New School.

About the ski: Atomic Backland 107 coming 2019/2020 season has the same spoon in the front as popular Bent Chetler skis ("HRZN Tech Tip" which will give 10% surface area on the tip), rocker front and back with shovel under the foot, wood core of Poppel and Karuba and reinforced with a longitudinally ingrained carbon fiber rod.
Emma: - Got the impression that it was very speed stable, a ski perfect for big rides and big mountains, you can gas a lot. Also holds good on the slopes, good in larger turns. Rather bigger ride, than shredding tight forest type of ski. It went well off the piste. Surprisingly easy skiing. In tight Swedish forest was not the optimal choice. Rating 4
Olle: - The first ride I was skeptical, felt tough. But then I got into it and dared to press. Then it got better, and it is tough but not too hard and you can stand the turns at the same time it is playful. But there is nothing you can do, a good alpine ski for off-piste and long pistes. In the loose snow it was good and did not get stuck or anything, but floated on well! Rating 4
Max: - A fun ski! When pressed, it hangs with good, steady speed. In the off-piste I could be at a higher speed, feel chargeable, fit a skier who wants to stand on both piste and off piste. Got around it in the forest, but a little heavier than eg Salomon QST, on the other hand I got a straight line. In slopes and hard surfaces, the radius of 18.5 m is that it is right quick when pressed. Rating 4.5
CROSS RATING: 4.17
