The K2 PayBack skis don’t disappoint! Reap the reward the first time you drop into a fresh line with these high-performance boards.
- Whether mounted telemark or randonee, the K2 PayBack walks the line between resort and backcountry
- Metal laminate construction alternates layers of fiberglass and metal above and below the wood core to provide damp, accurate performance
- Bioflex core combines fir and spruce to create a ski that is stable and predictable underfoot, while maintaining light and soft tips and tails
- Bamboo stringer running down the center increases core strength without adding cumbersome weight
- Triaxial braiding wraps an interlocking fiberglass weave around the wood core; the result is 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
- 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 60% soft snow and 40% variable snow
