Named for the late Doug Coombs, the K2 COOMBAck is a testament to the ski legend's years of guiding and revolutionary extreme skiing.
- Balanced flex pattern and generous 102mm waist create excellent flotation and easy handling in difficult conditions
- Triaxial-braided wood core creates a high degree of rebound and performance
- Fir/aspen wood core produces a natural flex, allowing the ski to achieve full contact with the snow throughout the turn
- Triaxial braiding wraps an interlocking fiberglass weave around the wood core; results in torsional stiffness, responsive turning and sensitivity
- Cap construction envelops the core and internal materials with the top layer of the ski, keeping overall weight light and durability high
- Progressive sidecut has different curve shapes along different parts of the ski—more aggressive in the tip, less aggressive in the tail
- The progressive sidecut results in confident, quick turn initiation in hard snow and easy release in crud and powder
- Powder tip places the widest point of the ski further back than on other K2 skis, making the ski more stable and predictable in variable snow conditions
- Featuring tip rocker and a normal cambered tail, the COOMBAck initiates turns quickly and provides better accuracy and hard-snow performance than a fully rockered ski
- Adventure-series skis feature flat tails so you can easily plunge your skis into firm snow when building anchors or staking out a tent
- Holes drilled in the tip and tail facilitate building a rescue sled or constructing a ski anchor
- Holes come with plugs that can be easily removed with a flat head screwdriver; holes also function as skin attachment points for K2 skins (sold separately)
- Concave notch in the tail of the ski keeps non-K2-brand skins securely centered on the tail
- Designed for 70% soft snow and 30% variable snow
- A percentage of all K2 COOMBAck sales will be donated to the Coombs family
- K2 will also donate a portion of the proceeds to the American Mountain Guide Association's fund focused on improving guide education and safety
