K2 Gotback Ski 2012
Colors displayed in alternate views may not be available
K2 GotBack Skis - Women's 2012: No longer the widest ski in the Backside series, the K2 GotBack Skis remain the most versatile with its lightweight and playful BioFlex Core, 102mm waist and All-Terrain Rocker™. These skis carry the lightweight characteristics of K2’s other touring skis combined with the all-mountain rockered performance characterized by its bigger sisters. New for 2012, the K2 GotBack Skis have the addition of Carbon Web technology to create an added level of responsiveness while staying lightweight.
Shape
All-Terrain Rocker™ is designed for all snow conditions, featuring an elevated tip for variable and soft snow performance and improved skinning ascent with camber underfoot for power, energy, and edge-hold in firmer conditions.
Progressive Sidecut is a combination of two different radii that enhances the versatility of wider-waist skis. This guarantees improved turn initiation and hard-snow performance.
 
Construction
Cap Construction is durable, lightweight, and softer, built by a sophisticated molding process that envelopes the core and internal materials with the top layer of the ski.
Powder Tip tapers early to avoid hooking.
Tip/Tail Hardware - removable plugs reveal holes that can be used to attach K2 Pre-Cut Skins or build a rescue sled
SnoPhobic Topsheets keep the ski light with a snow-repellent top
Flex
BioFlex 3 Core (80% Aspen, 20% Paulownia): dense Aspen underfoot fused with lightweight Paulownia at the tip and tail with blended Bamboo throughout for increased performance, strength, and durability with reduced swing weight.
Triaxial Braiding consists of braiding fiberglass around the wood core to provide torsional rigidity for added control.
Carbon Web is a weave of carbon strands that envelopes the Mod structure for an additional level of torsional rigidity, while still keeping the ski light.
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width that is equal to the ski waist width and at most 15 mm wider.

      Comments about K2 GotBack Skis - Women's 2012:

      I use the Gotbacks for backcountry skiing in Alaska. They are awesome in all conditions--crust, ice, chop, powder, deep powder, corn--they do it all. Great floatation, great control. Even handled surprisingly well at the resort. Any mishaps that resulted while wearing these were definitely the fault of the skier, not the skis :) They are also really nice and light.

        Comments about K2 GotBack Skis - Women's 2012:

        I bought these for my daughter in 160 cm 2yrs ago, she is 5'6"/140/all mountain adv skier. I have the sidestash and thought she might like these because they are similar. She won't ski anything else! This year my wife tried them(mistake), so I had to buy her a pair also, now she wont ski anything else unless it is boiler plate(then k2 crossfire) They are light , stable at speed, float like a cloud, really improved there powder skiing. The only mistake Ive made was not getting touring bindings, they would be GREAT for skining.

          Comments about K2 GotBack Skis - Women's 2012:

          I needed skis that were good in all different types of snow, that worked well with skins and that could manouvre well in the backcountry. These work well on steep uphills for me as well as a fun ride down. They are quick to respond with good rocker.

            I love my skis. Ive been really impressed with how responsive they are. They are super light weight, and they ride really well. Very smooth. I do wish the design was a bit sexier, but that doesn't much matter in the end I suppose.
