The Backland 107 is Atomic's answer to the question:  What's a good lightweight touring ski that can still provide aggressive downhill performance?  This ski is designed for those who put in distance and elevation on the uphill, and push their equipment on the way down.  Stiff, strong, and snappy, this ski is at home on the steep and deep, as well as when put on edge and driven hard and fast.
Key Features:
- Powder Rocker – With a profile of 20% tip rocker, 70% camber, and 10% tail rocker, this ski is shaped to handle both soft and firm snow.
- HRZN Tech Tip – This tip technology provides an extra 10% of surface area to the nose of the ski, providing more float in powder and tracking ability through variable snow.
- Carbon Backbone – This "backbone" of carbon running the length of the ski helps provide rigidity and stability without adding excess weight to the overall construction.

 A lot of the testers that we've had on it over the past couple of years have really specifically noted at how stable and how powerful it can feel, and I give a lot of credit to the camber shape. We don't have any metal in here, we don't have any crazy materials, but it's actually quite a stiff flex, and I think the thickness of that wood core, that ultra-power wood core, and the fact that it's bent in a pretty significant cambered shape, that's where you really get that stability. And that's where that stability is coming from. Now you also get some nice maneuverability, too

 If you're using this as a touring ski, if you're putting an atomic shift on here, it's going to be great. It's efficient for the uphill, which is really important. You don't want to tire yourself out there in the backcountry. Now downhill performance, this thing might surprise you because even though it's this lightweight, it's actually got some pretty darn good stability to it, too

 I think you could have a lot of fun on it in the resort, too. But the reason why it's in the touring collection is because it's exceptionally lightweight. So this is a 189 in my hand, and it is just fantastically light, extremely lightweight. And basically the build of this ski is pretty straightforward

 Low, low, low, pretty long in the tail, again below the taper point, which is about here. So that rocker starts about there. Minimal splay gives this ski a pretty strong tail, nice smooth total edge control from the start of the turn to the end. So that's one of the big bonus points of this ski here, is that it is pretty business-like in the tail

 This ski is unchanged for this year except for graphics. Just a really well-rounded, wider-bodied, all-mountain, slash freestyle, slash back country ski. This thing has a lot of capabilities to it. Starts with the Powerwood Core, which is light but pretty strong

 Hey skiers, it's Bob with SkiEssentials.com. Welcome to our 2022 ski test. We've got an Atomic Backland 107 for you today

 Minimal splay gives this ski a pretty strong tail, nice smooth total edge control from the start of the turn to the end. So that's one of the big bonus points of this ski here, is that it is pretty business-like in the tail. So we've seen it perform really well on groomers, much better than you would expect a woodcore no metal 107 to perform. This thing's pretty impressive, the amount of energy that they get out of it

2022 Atomic Backland 107 - SkiEssentials.com Ski Test

The Backland 107 has a robust build in an ~1650g ski (182cm) and features a full sidewall for better durability and a stable ride.

Sure, the lighter setup may have matched the soft, deep pillowy snow conditions in some spots. With my timidity that day, which could have resulted in a ligament-tearing tumble, I pivoted to wanting decidedly heavier gear with more oomph to match less-than-perfect conditions.

 I could do better going from edge to edge in a skinnier ski with less rocker up front.

 Jason survived the transition from free-heel kool-aid drinker to faster and lighter (think AT), and safer, are better.

Atomic Backland 107: A Ski Review - The Backcountry Ski Touring Blog

 That's way, way more of a twin tip where this is truly a directional ski. But we do get some nice long tail rocker as well, at least relatively long for a directional ski. And I always really like the taper design to these skis as well. So you can kind of see, especially in the tail here, it's in the tip as well

 It is pretty darn light even with this shift binding on it in a 189 length. I'm kind of curious what this is going to come out to. Yeah just 2,600 grams. So pretty darn light for a big ski with a relatively strong touring binding on it in the shift

 The first time I skied it I was just blown away by how strong it felt. It doesn't maybe have the vibration damping of some heavy skis. Like if you were to line this up straight next to a Maverick, Mavericks are going to feel a little smoother and damper so to speak. But definitely a strong stable ski

 So great choice for anybody that's going to be heading out into the backcountry this season and needs the width for softer snow conditions. Lucky you because that's like the best part of skiing, getting to go touring and getting some fresh powder. So if that's kind of what you have in mind this season, if that's what you have in store, awesome for you and this is a perfect, perfect tool for the job. So check this thing out on SkiEssentials

The Salomon MTN Explore 95 is made for advanced backcountry skiers who seek long distance tours and far-off missions. A 95mm waist provides a wide footprint and works with a subtle tip rocker to keep the rider on top of the snow when both skinning and skiing. The 3D Karuba full woodcore, C/FX carbon weave, and Koroyd tip make the ski stable in a variety of conditions and terrain.
Key Features:
- 3D Karuba Full Woodcore – The woodcore construction gives the ski a classic feel with excellent stability and chatter absorption, while keeping it lightweight.
- C/FX Carbon Weave – Adding stability and rebound to the ski, the carbon weave provides extra power without excess weight.
Koroyd Tip – A wide honeycomb insert in the tip reduces swing weight and increases float, making the ski easier to maneuver.

 This is the Salmon Mountain Explore 95 ski, and as the name suggests, it's 95 millimeters under the foot, and it's got 130 in the shovel, so nice and fat for powder, and some early rise, and 116 in the tail, and that's for the 177 length ski. It weighs 1,400 grams per ski, so 2,800 grams per pair, and that again is the 177 length, so it's a really lightweight ski, ideal for ski touring. It comes in a few different sizes, 169, 177, 184 centimeter lengths, and the turn radius ranges from 16.5 meters to 18

 This is the same construction you're going to find on the QBC Labs skis we reviewed last year over here, and also on the Q98s, that review's over here, and the Q105s, that review's over here as well. And this technology basically lightens the tip and tail up for improved swing weight, and it also gives the ski no chatter, virtually no chatter on hard pack and groomer conditions. And I'd have to say Salmon's one of the only ski manufacturers that's really mastered this. These skis just have minimal chatter on hard pack, whereas other skis with this early rise, they chatter all over the place and start skidding out on you, so I'm really a big fan of this honeycomb tip and tail design

 It also uses what Salmon calls the G-Spot technology, and this is basically a combination of sidecut and rocker profile, and places the edge hold directly underfoot, so you've got better edge hold on the groomers and also in skinning uphill. It's got a built-in skin clip in the tail here, as you can see, and in the tips it's got Salmon's honeycomb construction. This is the same construction you're going to find on the QBC Labs skis we reviewed last year over here, and also on the Q98s, that review's over here, and the Q105s, that review's over here as well.

 The ski is 1,400 grams so super light for touring but with an alpine binding the thing is going to rip the entire mountain. Honeycomb tip, CFX super fiber to keep it nice and stable and of course full sandwich sidewall underfoot for excellent edge grip. All new for 2015-16 the MTN Explore 95.
