The
K2 GotBack Ski is a large and in charge pair of women's deep
powder skis built for backcountry, side country and resort powder-hunting
All-terrain rocker offers 70 percent traditional camber and 30 percent rocker to gives you float and maneuverability
The elevated, rocker tip provides variable and soft snow performance while camber underfoot delivers power, energy and edge-hold in firmer conditions
SnoPhobic top-sheets repel snow to keep you light and efficient on the climb
The running surface along the ski bottom is hydrophobic by design
Powder-specific tip design makes the tip's widest point its forward contact point, as opposed to 7 cm in front of it like K2's other shaped skis, creating a more stable and predictable powder ski that won't grab in the variable conditions you find in the backcountry
Women's specific BioFlex core combines fir and spruce to put dense fir underfoot with lightweight spruce at the tip and tail to reduce swing weight
The end result is a ski package that's lightweight and easy to maneuver, yet sturdy and top performing
Fast-growing and locally sourced bamboo and paulownia stringers add lightweight strength to the core
Progressive sidecut combines two different radii to enhance the versatility of the wider waist, and to guarantee improved turn initiation and hard-snow performance
All K2 women's skis have the sidecut shifted 2 cm forward to accommodate for the female lower center of mass, which optimizes body positioning for more control and easier turn initiation
Forward mounting system complements the sidecut
Flat tails are practical for the backcountry, allowing you to plunge into firm snow, build anchors and better secure your skis
Pre-cut skin compatible, the GotBack has its very own set of custom skins (sold separately) so all you have to do is hit the snow
Holes drilled into the tip and tail act as skin attachment points, and facilitate building a quick, solid rescue sled or the construction of a ski anchor
Tip and tail holes come with plugs that can be removed with the simple twist of a flat head screwdriver
Adjustable tail-strap clip interfaces with the tail hole to secure skins to the center of the ski, and sits on the ski top to not inhibit your glide
Skin clip arc furthers the skin's security with a concave notch on the tail
Z-clip attachment is quick, simple, lightweight and eliminates the skin fold-over required with typical D rings, reducing weight and getting rid of snow buildup under the fold
Cap construction is durable and lightweight, enveloping the core and internal material with the top ski layer, and versatile Torsion Box lends ease, forgiveness, responsiveness and energy
BioFlex core is wrapped with triaxial fiberglass braiding to provide torsional rigidity for added control and strength, and to maintain the lively flex patterns of the wood
Buy a pair of K2 skis, get a day pass to Kirkwood Mountain Resort this winter (12/25/11 -4/15/12) and either a 2 hour group lesson or 2 hour progression session!
