In its prior life as the Century 102, the Backland FR 102 W offered the best cost/value relationship in the genre; last season, Atomic sweetened the deal. The addition of the Carbon Backbone adds more muscle and pop without any negative side effects. The Backland with a Backbone is still a superior choice for the lighter weight woman, such as a teenager getting her first off-trail ski.

Skiers who suspect they’d benefit from a little more flotation should know that the Backland FR 102 W’s big sister, the 109, isn’t just a bigger footprint. The 109 has been given Atomic’s exclusive HRZN Tech treatment that rockers the forebody both longitudinally and laterally. Adapted to surf over waves of fresh snow, the Backland 109 is to all intents and purposes a pure Powder ski.

Women’s Test Data Advisory

Please be advised that our 2022 women’s ski reviews do not show any test data, on either our public or members’ sites. Due to circumstances beyond our control, we haven’t been able to collect sufficient test results to justify showing a statistical summary.

While Realskiers members won’t be able to see stats on women’s reviews, they will see a longer, more in-depth narrative than what’s posted on our public site.

We appreciate your continued support through these troublesome times.
