Coomback Ski

Details

• All-Terrain Rocker tip gives this ski a 30/70 rocker-to-camber balance in order to ease edge transition, lift the tip above soft and choppy snow, and aid overall ski maneuverability
• Rockered Powder Tip eliminates the need for increased surface area in the tip so you get more flotation with less of a chance of snagging a tip in deep snow
• Camber along the rest of the ski provides precise and steadfast power and edge hold on hard, groomed surfaces
• Fir, maple, and aspen wood stringers are combined to create a single core that's lightweight, highly durable, and lively underfoot
• Triaxial Braided core consists of a wood core with fiberglass braided around it in order to increase torsional strength while maintaining the lively flex of the wood core
• Cap Construction creates a durable and lightweight ski by molding a laminate and top layer over the core of the ski
• 102mm waist width helps this ski float on deep days and provides a stable platform for surviving hard landings, and it's not so wide as to sacrifice edge-to-edge maneuverability
• Carbon Web technology increases torsional rigidity at the tip and tail of the ski by laying strips of carbon over the core material in a web-like pattern
• Increased torsional rigidity keeps the ski from twisting like the ends of a candy wrapper when turning force is applied, which means edge hold is increased, particularly at high speeds and on chattery hardpack
• Snow-repellent SnoPhobic topsheet uses a hydrophobic wax coating that keeps heavy snow from building up on top of your ski while you're skinning or touring
• Flat tail allows for easier attachment of a climbing skin and provides utility by allowing you to plunge the tail into the snow to form an anchor with your ski
• Screw out the Tip and Tail hardware rivets and attach a K2 climbing skin to the ski using the integrated attachments that eliminate the ever-clumsy tip clip
• K2 Donates a percentage of all Coomback ski sales to Doug Coombs' family, and another portion of the proceeds will fund the American Mountain Guide Association's Chad Vanderham Endowment, which is focused on improving guide education and safety
