The perfect balance of incredible lightness and gliding performance. A reliable free-tour ski for the entire season.
Many of our customers go backcountry skiing, so we often receive inquiries about skis that are both lightweight and offer excellent gliding performance. In that regard, the "Backland 109" feels incredibly light in your hands, yet is easy to handle and stable. The balance between lightness and strength is outstanding.
For those who want to do everything with one pair of skis throughout the season, from deep powder in the depths of winter to long spring tours, this will be a great companion.

This ski boasts top-notch Japanese quality, excelling not only in powder but also on groomed slopes!
Its performance as a fat ski is outstanding, and its ability to handle groomed slopes is exceptional.
Thanks to its wide 135mm tip width and long nose rocker, buoyancy in powder is a breeze. Yet, with a sidecut of R=18.7m (183cm), it doesn't feel wide, allowing for powerful carving.
It's surprisingly lightweight, yet incredibly stable. Despite all this, it still retains that distinctive OGASAKA feel, and the precise grip of the tip on groomed slopes is reminiscent of a demo model.

Drop straight down the fall line. The ultimate for those who enjoy big turns!
With a stiff flex, it minimizes chatter at high speeds and offers high stability. This model gives the impression of being a fat ski for advanced skiers.
The 115mm waist width provides excellent buoyancy in powder, and the entire ski floats well even in deep powder where snow is rolling in. If you like to drop straight down the fall line and enjoy the mountains with big turns, these are the perfect specifications for you.

The ultimate floating sensation. A special ski for those days when you're aiming for the best powder!
The long-awaited return of the legendary NOCTA is a ski designed to purely enjoy powder, with a medium camber and tip and tail rocker.
When you press down, the entire ski floats in the powder, allowing you to enjoy a floating sensation as if you were gliding on clouds.
The torsion and flex of the ski are neither too stiff nor too soft, allowing you to comfortably carve turns on groomed slopes after enjoying the powder. The weight is not exactly light on paper, but it is a ski you'll want to choose as your special ski for those days when you're aiming for the best powder!

Covering a wide range of skill levels and speeds,
the NOCTA, which had been unavailable in Japan for some time, is back!
Suitable for beginners to advanced skiers, and from low to high speeds, this model boasts consistently high performance and is a highly refined fat ski.
From powder in the backcountry to soft groomed slopes at resorts, and even ungroomed runs in the afternoon, you can ski your desired line without worrying about tracks left by previous skiers.

This versatile ski eliminates the typical intimidation associated with fat skis, offering a stress-free
experience. Its surprisingly light swing weight makes groomed turns easy. It's an ideal ski for those new to fat skiing, providing a completely stress-free and easy-to-use experience. The 106mm waist offers ample buoyancy without sacrificing sharpness on groomed slopes, and the moderate radius ensures exceptional versatility. The
binding mounting position, somewhere between a twin-tip and directional ski, contributes to its remarkably light swing weight for its size, which is another strong point.

I want to own a pair of fat skis, but I want to keep my skis to just one pair. I want to enjoy both groomed slopes and powder skiing off the main trails. This ski is perfect for people like that

the appealing LINE line that mixes the best features of PESCADO
, SAKANA, and BLADE, is a hybrid model that combines the strong points of each of the previously released LINE models. It
incorporates the gas pedal metal technology used in the BLADE, and has metal embedded in it that resembles a fishbone. This makes it a tough board that can withstand hard and rough snow.

Not only is it great for powder riding, but it's also easy to maneuver, with features like tail sliding and tail control in the latter half of turns. And despite having metal reinforcement, it's not too heavy, making it a fun ski to ride even on hard-packed snow. Fans who have loved Sakana or Pescado should definitely give this model a try

The long-awaited full model change is finally here! The domestically produced all-rounder
26-27, the "VERSANT," has been completely redesigned with improved carving performance.
While refining the strengths of its predecessor, its carving performance has been significantly improved. This single board can handle everything from groomed slopes and ungroomed powder to backcountry skiing. Its all-around performance, capable of handling everything at a high level, makes it highly recommended!

This is the King of Fat Skis!
Sammy Calson, already a legendary skier, poured his passion into creating this new-era masterpiece, the White Walker.　
Even when encountering unimaginably deep powder, its buoyancy overcomes snow resistance, allowing it to cut through the snow and be controlled exactly as the skier desires. This is the King of Fat Skis!
