OVERVIEW
Built for spirited, big mountain, backcountry skiing, the Backland 109 offers better float and more touring efficiency in a light weight, lower-impact construction. 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% (compared with the Backland 100, 2022). Inspired by Chris Rubens, it’s the ideal balance of performance and weight that makes this the ultimate freeride touring ski.

OVERVIEW
The Atomic Shift 13 MNC is a game-changer: the world’s first binding with full touring and freeride capability in one. It’s a genuine tech binding for hiking complete with pins. Then flick the hike/ride switch to ski mode and it turns into a genuine freeride binding for the way down, compatible with all ISO normed alpine and touring boots on the market – alpine and touring. So, for the first time you don’t have to compromise when you’re touring or skiing – either by hiking with a heavy solution like frames or skiing downhill with pins. You get the best for both. And even better, you can also use it for your alpine skiing days with your normal alpine boot. Finally, one binding for everything!
