The Backland FR 102 is the ultimate freeride touring ski for those who need a hard-charging downhill ski. It represents a significant evolution from the Backland 100, featuring an all-new construction that minimizes environmental impact by reducing the amount of fiberglass, metal, and resin and replacing it with Coruba and Poplar. The Backland 102 FR is designed to use different wood thicknesses in the core to get a unique and refined flex pattern. This also creates a lighter, more responsive ride that saves your legs on the uphill. Atomic increased the amount of rocker, now at 35% compared to the previous 30%. This enhances maneuverability and float, making turning in deep snow and tight terrain much easier. The HRZN 3D Backland tip reduces swing weight and improves turn initiation, while the Dura Cap Sidewall boosts durability and edge hold, providing reliable performance in firm and steep conditions as well as powder. With more wood and less fiberglass, metal, and resin, the Backland FR 102 delivers a damp, stable feel while significantly reducing its carbon footprint. Weighing 1430 grams per ski in a 179, these skis perfectly balance lightness with everyday capability, making them the ideal choice for day-in and day-out skiing.

Built for Powder Touring Take a walk on the wild side with the 4FRNT Raven, a mid-fat touring ski that breezily walks the line between efficiency and powder charging prowess. Its smooth, fully rockered shape naturally lifts the tips above fresh snow for easy trail breaking and the pre-bent rocker profile provides outstanding maneuverability, responsive control, and smooth, surf-like turns. Versatile Performance When you want to push power through the ski, the combination of lively aspen and sturdy maple responds and the lightweight carbon fiber reinforcements add pop and stability with no weight penalty. With a flexible Neoprene tip, the ski absorbs vibrations and impacts, resulting in a smoother, more stable ride in variable snow. If you're looking for a light, responsive touring ski that wants to charge, look no further than the Raven.

It is designed to offer an exceptional balance of lightweight efficiency and versatile performance, making it ideal for a wide variety of terrain types and conditions.

Designed for the racer who has speed in their blood, the new iteration of the Dynafit DNA Ski is light, durable, and built for chasing podiums. Compared to the DNA Pro, the Dynafit is slightly softer and has a shorter radius, and more rocker. This translates to a ski that is more forgiving and performs better in softer snow, and, conversely, is slightly less aggressive and stable at speed. Developed with input from world cup athletes and pros, the DNA ski has meticulous attention to detail that sets it apart from other race skis. The full capped sidewall construction is extremely durable while also providing better power transfer and edge grip, all in an extremely lightweight package. The special race core only uses to top 10% of all premium paulownia wood, and a full unidirectional carbon top and bottom sheet reinforce the wood core for a stable inspiring downhill feel. For that extra dash of speed, the DNA also has a special racing base grind.

The Black Crows Camox Freebird is a ski you've probably heard of and for good reason- it's widely touted as one of the top all-mountain touring skis ever. The Camox is so popular that it's made in 6 different lengths ranging from 157cm to 188cm. Few skis offer such a wide range of performance for all sizes and abilities. The Camox Freebird receives subtle but important upgrades that include a slight waist reduction from 96mm to 95mm and construction changes to make it ski even better in variable conditions. The new Camox uses a similar core as the popular Orb Freebird where all of the poplar wood is removed for a paulownia-only core, drastically reducing the weight. That reduction in wood stiffness is then reinforced with carbon fibers, glass fibers, and a titanal mounting plate. They also shortened the length of the ABS sidewall to eliminate more weight and give the tip and tail a little more flex. Shedding two-thirds of a pound per ski, the Camox Freebird comes in at 1,375 grams in the 178 cm length! The new Camox Freebird retains the best-in-class dampening that Black Crows are known and loved for.
