DETAILS
Gender : Men's
Type: Touring
Riding Style: Freeride - Touring
Ski Terrain : Alpine Touring - Also known as backcountry skis, alpine touring (AT) skis are designed for going uphill as well as downhill. These skis are typically light for their width and many feature fittings that accept climbing skins. AT skis vary in width and weight, with the wider heavier versions usually used for winter/deep snow touring and the skinnier, lighter skis usually used for spring/summer/long distance touring
Rocker Type: Rocker -All Terrain Rocker
- Designed for all ability levels, All-Terrain Rocker adds versatility and ease in all snow conditions. This profile features an elevated tip and tail for variable and soft snow performance, as well as camber underfoot for power, energy, and edgehold in firmer conditions.
Construction: Touring Technology - For over 20 years, K2 has been working with guides and athletes to build the best backcountry skis on the market. This year is no different. Our team of guides were tasked with testing and setting the stage for the Touring Series redesign. From North & South America to the Alps and Norway, these skis have seen it all.
This year’s completely re-engineered Wayback line sets a new standard
for backcountry skis; we’ve reduced ski weights significantly without
sacrificing the downhill performance skiers expect from K2’s touring
skis. The new Waybacks aim to inspire you to reach further and seek out
your ‘best run ever’ each and every day.

Laminates : Ti SpYne -: First of its kind, Titanal laminate developed specifically for K2 Touring skis that dramatically increases dampening and predictability on lightweight carbon constructions, while enhancing stability and edge grip.
