Hey NS,
looking next year to possibly get either backland. East coast skier looking for something playful on the off day we actually get a powder day or is fun on the rough choppy conditions. Is the 109 just to wide for what I'm looking for? Also possibly interested in other options as well. Thanks NS!

Atomic backland 102 vs. 109 vs other.
i have the 109s, they're great on groomers when you are carving, they have a relatively short turn radius for a ski of their size which i like.
they struggle a little when it gets choppy at speed, definitely get a bit of tip deflection if its abit more solid, i noticed this was less so when i moved the bindings forward to more freestyle orientated mount (about +4 of rec)
all in all i'd say they are a super fun versatile ski that is fun in all conditions but doesnt really excel at anything.
Obviously the 102 will be slightly quicker edge to edge but will have a little less float, have you got another pair of skis that these are going to compliment?

Yeah man. I have my factions Candide 1.0 as my park ski. Next year I may replace it with the arv 96. Im jutting looking for a 100mm plus all mountain ski that would be lively when it comes to groomers but enjoyable when the conditions are not the greatest.

i guess id go with the 109, especially if you're looking at the arv 96 at some point. the 109 still rips on hard pack, it will just be a little more chattery when you are really pushing it hard. if you are looking for something stiffer the fischer ranger 108 could be worth a look, or next season the nordica enforcer 110 will be a good bet.

I would echo JIbba on the 109, rather than the 102.
The 109 has a super fun shape and rocker profile that just makes it more versatile and enjoyable than the 102.
Thanks guys for the help I appreciate it!
