Product Info
K2 Apache Coomba Ski 2009 - The legend lives on. A high-performance backcountry memorial to celebrated ski legend Doug Coombs, the 2009 K2 Apache Coomba is a next-generation powder ski built for adventure. Coombs worked with K2 for over two years on this new model, named in Doug’s honor. With a balanced flex pattern and generous 102-mm waist width, the K2 Apache Coomba provides excellent flotation and easy handling in the toughest conditions, while the flat tail makes it easy to keep your skins on. Featuring a new tip shape that is super predictable and forgiving, and a progressive sidecut, the K2 Apache Coomba promises turning ease and power on the hardest snow. Designed for anyone from serious alpinists to aspiring backcountry/heli skiers, the K2 Apache Coomba Ski is a monument to Doug Coombs and everything he loved about skiing.

Other Features
TRIAXIAL BRAIDING: This unique method produces skis that have a great deal of torsional rigidity and strength, while maintaining all the lively characteristics of a wood core ski.
PROGRESSIVE SIDECUT: Provides wider-waisted skis with more versatility to be used in all conditions; confident and quick initiation on hard snow, with easy release in powder and crud.
Doug Coombs: 1957-2006. A percentage of all K2 Apache Coomba ski sales will be donated to his wife, Emily, and their 3-year-old son, David. K2 will also donate a portion of the proceeds to the American Mountain Guide Association’s Chad Vanderham Endowment, which is focused on improving guide education and safety.
TORSION BOX CONTROL: The Torsion Box Construction is the foundation for the widest range of skis designed by K2. The Coomba Skis share the common traits of ease, forgiveness, responsiveness, and energy that can be found in all Torsion Box skis.
MOD TECHNOLOGY: The ultimate in modern ski design. MOD combines an elastomeric secondary core that works as a high-performance suspension system and mass damper to provide the highest degree of ease, power, forgiveness and performance.

Terrain:
All-Mountain, Powder

Terrain
All-Mountain All-mountain skis are designed to handle anything you throw at them including powder, ice, groomers, steeps, heavy snow, and everything in between, but they aren’t necessarily a master of any one terrain. If you’re only going to own one ski to do it all, this is what you want. All-mountain skis generally have what we call mid-fat waists that range from 80-110 mm. Powder These skis are for the deep days. If you like to find powder stashes at your local resort, go on backcountry missions for the freshest of fresh or heli ski trips to BC, powder skis are what you need to stay afloat. Skis in the powder category are wide and most often have some form of rocker or early rise plus a relatively soft flex. Many powder skis today are versatile enough to handle mixed conditions and harder snow.

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Rocker Type:
Camber
More
Rocker Type
Camber Camber is the traditional profile for skis offering skiers lots of edge hold, especially on harder snow. A cambered ski has a smooth arch underfoot and contact points near the tip and tail when unweighted. Camber skis excel at carving on hard snow; you won’t ever see a ski racer on anything other than cambered skis.

Tail Type:
Flat
More
Tail Type
Flat This is your traditional tail, designed to have edge contact all the way through the tail, and only designed for skiing forward. This is also preferred for alpine touring, as you can stick the tails of your skis in the snow.
