The K2 Wayback 96 Women's Skis take a direct cue from their twin brother in the Wayback line up, the K2 Wayback 96. Offering the exact same dimensions, build, materials and technologies, but being made in smaller length sizes to accommodate the ladies. With a lightweight Paulownia Tour Lite core, the skis are nimble, agile, and super quick from edge to edge. At 96- millimeters underfoot, they're not the widest skis out there, but the combination of that width and the tip taper and rocker gives it more oomph in the deep stuff. The addition of a Carbon Overdrive adds stiffness without adding too much weight. Some ski tours are absurdly long, and if your gear is too heavy, then you're either not going to get as far or not have enough energy or strength for the descent. As a result, you need a good middle ground to stand on. That's where the K2 Wayback 96 comes in to play. With 1254 grams per ski weight at 163 cm length, the skis feel super light when you put them on your feet. With the skin grommets and the feathery feeling, the skis are super uphill performers. When you start your descent, you'll really appreciate the All-Terrain Rocker profile that keeps you up and on top of powder and keeps the tips out of the snow when breaking trail. The K2 Wayback 96 Women's Skis are the perfect balance between uphill efficiently and downhill performance.
