The K2 Wayback 84 22/23 is a classic touring ski built for backcountry adventures. It’s aimed at skiers who spend as much time climbing as they do descending, offering a straightforward design that focuses on efficiency and control in varied terrain.
With an 84 mm waist and a weight of just 1 168 g per ski (at 160 cm), the Wayback 84 delivers a blend of stability underfoot and nimble handling on narrow trails. Its lighter build helps reduce fatigue on long ascents, while the flat binding mount leaves you free to choose the touring binding that suits your setup.
At 160 cm, the ski’s 16.3 m radius provides a moderate turning arc, making it responsive in tighter switchbacks without feeling overly sharp on longer traverses. The 118/84/106 mm tip-waist-tail sidecut offers predictable edge engagement in a range of snow conditions. A flat mount means the ski doesn’t come pre-drilled for a specific binding, giving you full control over your choice of touring hardware.
