A shorter ski kick-turns more readily on a steep skin track and weighs less on your back, which is why tourers often size down. The waist changes by only 1 mm across the run, so the decision is about stability and swing weight rather than float.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Backland 101 is a flat ski and accepts alpine, hybrid, or pin-tech touring bindings, with the sole norm printed on your boot deciding which. Brakes, where the binding has them, must clear 101 mm underfoot, so 105 mm is a sensible minimum; many pin-tech bindings come brakeless and use a leash. A 120 mm skin covers every length, since the widest tail in the run is 119.5 mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ccbb-rating-key\"\u003eLength and mount guidance from CCBB ski staff.

At 1,260 g per ski in the 164 cm it carries easily, and a 101 mm waist with 65 percent camber underfoot means it works in spring as well as it does in a storm. The shape is shared with the Atomic Backland 102, so nothing here is a compromised women's version, and the 156 cm fills a size the wider run does not reach.
