The K2 Coomback sits proudly atop our Big Mountain category, but don't be fooled or put off by its 102mm waist width; this ski is amazingly efficient hiking up and solid enough to charge down the biggest faces no matter what the snow's like. This season, the triaxial braided wood core has been wrapped in a carbon web to improve responsivness without increasing the overall weight. It also features K2's Snophobic top sheet so that you never carry around too much snow, and is available to buy with a set of pre-cut skins.

GLOSSARY:
| Fir/Aspen core: | Solid and dense woods known for their inherent strength and durability. Deliver exceptional energy and rebound. |
| Triaxial braiding: | Interlocks strands of fibreglass around a milled wood core. Makes skis incredibly energetic and responsive, yet easy to use. |
| All-Terrain rocker: | Designed for all snow conditions, featuring an elevated tip for variable and soft snow performance, and camber underfoot for power, energy and edge hold in firmer conditions. |
| Cap construction: | Durable and lightweight moulding process that envelopes the core and internal materials with the top layer of the ski. |
| Tip and tail holes: | Function as attachment points for K2 skins and can be used to build a rescue sled or construct various ski anchors. Come w/a removable plug. |
| Powder tip: | Design that makes the ski more stable and predictable because it won't hook or grab erratically in windblown snow and other variable conditions. |
| Progressive sidecut: | A combination of two different radii, or sidecuts, that enhances the versatility of wider waisted skis by delivering more control and easier turn initiation. |
| SnoPhobic topsheet: | Snow-repellent topsheet that stops snow collecting on the ski. |
| Carbon Web tech: | Located in the tail and forebody of the ski, it increases edge grip for better downhill performance without adding any weight. |
