BackDrop Ski

Details

• All-Terrain Rocker profile consists of an elevated tip for variable and soft snow performance and camber underfoot for power, energy, and edgehold in firmer conditions
• PowderTip design pulls the widest point of the tip further down the ski, which retains float in soft snow and also minimizes deflection in adverse snow conditions
• Lightweight core features a blend of aspen, paulownia, and maple, which results in a 15% weight savings over traditional cores
• Unique core also decreases the carbon footprint of the ski, which reduces our impact on the winter world
• Cap construction offers a lightweight ski with a low swing weight and smooth turn initiation
• Trixial braided construction consists of braided fiberglass around a wood core that provides torsional rigidity for added control
• Triaxial braided construction delivers a forgiving and extremely responsive ski
• Carbon Web technology (webbed carbon overlay located on the tail and forebody of the ski) gives lightweight torsional rigidity, which increases edge grip especially when you skin up an icy sidehill
• Snowphobic topsheet technology has a snow-repellent topsheet so snow doesn't collect and add excess weight while you climb
• Applying wax to the topsheet also increases its snow-shedding performance
• Tip and Tail hardware functions as attachment points for your K2 BackDrop Precut Skins (sold separately) and comes with a removable plug
• Tip and Tail holes also allow you to build a rescue sled, construct various ski anchors, and carry less weight while increasing your safety margin
