Product Info
From long, mellow approaches to spicy hop-turns in the no fall zone, the K2 Wayback 96 Skis shine when you're miles from the trailhead. Don't let their featherlight construction fool you, a Carbon and Titanal infused build ensures consistent and predictable performance when you inevitably hit challenging conditions like wind scoured sastrugi and bulletproof sun crust. If all goes well and your snow dances hit the mark, a 96 mm waist coupled with ample rocker and taper mean you can surf pow with the best of em. However you look at it, the Wayback 96 skis are a true touring quiver of one.
Product Details
Rocker Type
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.
Shape
Tapered Tip/Tail – A design feature that shifts the contact points with the snow towards the midsole of the ski, reducing deflection in the tip and easing turn release in the tail.
Core
Paulownia – Lively, flexible wood with excellent weight to strength ratio.
Laminates
Ti Spyne – A Titanal laminate developed specifically for K2 touring skis that dramatically increases dampening and predictability on lightweight carbon constructions, while enhancing stability and edge grip.
Carbon Overdrive – Top secret construction using carbon fiber to make a ski even more awesome than if it did not have carbon fiber.
Graphics
Snowphobic Topsheet – Hydrophobic, snow-shedding topsheet material that helps prevent snow from sticking to the tops of your skis.
Additional Features
Skin Grommets – Reinforced grommets in the tip and tail of the ski that both accommodate K2's pre-cut skins with a Z-clip attachment, and can be used with K2/BCA shovels to build a rescue sled.
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

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.

Ability Level:

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:
Rocker/Camber/Rocker
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/Rocker skis have the playfulness and float of a rockered ski as well as the added edge hold of a cambered ski. The contact points on skis with this profile are closer towards the middle of the ski than a fully cambered ski, but still not underfoot. The cambered midsection provides a longer effective edge on hardpack, increasing edge hold and stability, while the rockered tip and tail provide floatation in deeper snow and allow the ski to initiate and release from turns easier.

Tail Type
