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.
