Interesting ski so far - I just moved the bindings forward because I felt I was in the back seat. I bought the skis because I wanted something that would turn better than my current skis. I have a pair of Stormriders size 184 / 95 wide. I have not used the skis with the...

Ski Review: I have the 2020 version of this ski. Which was unchanged. In soft snow and spring slush they are fabulous. On groomers the hold an edge pretty darn good for a ski with no metal in it. Handle speed very well and you can go from short turns to...

Ski Review: This ski was a game changer for me when I first got on it in spring of 2017. Transitioning from the Atomic Century 102 in a 156 (2012?) to the Backland FR W 102 was the perfect step in progression. The rocker profile is excellent for...

Ski Review: I got these skis as my first touring setup in fall of 2017 and mounted G3 ions on them. This ski is the pow touring ski you don’t realize you need until you have it. Very responsive ski, floats amazing in pow and is light. This ski is darn fun in...

Ski Review: The stranger is a popping, carving, and manual machine. A responsive ski that really lets you lean into your turns, shooting you into your next hard carve. You will certainly take flight on any side hit or jump with these bad boys. A darn fun ski!...

Ski Review: this ski is awesome! It likes a more forward aggressive skier. The harder you ski it the better it performs! I used it on a below freezing morning on icy corduroy and it held a great edge with no chatter at speed. I also used it on a sunny...
