K2 Wayback 98 W (Backcountry Touring Ski 2024/2025)

Product Summary

Due to its lighweight construction the K2 Wayback 98 W is easy to handle not only downhill but also during longer ascents. The K2 Wayback 98 W's full retail price is 700 €. The Ski costs roughly 70 € more than the average price of all Backcountry Touring Skis, making it an upper mid-range model. This ski is best suited for aggressive skiers who want to push the ski to its limit. The Wayback 98 W is a pure freeride ski. Riding on groomers is no problem but due to its fairly wide waist the ski has a strong bias towards powder runs. The ski is available from 151 to 172cm.

The ski in details

The all-new Wayback 98 W is the most universal tool in the Wayback collection. Narrow enough for a spring tour but wide enough to navigate variable conditions.

Featuring an All-Terrain Rocker, a gradual rise in the tip for great versatility in all conditions, with a low, short rise in the tail for added control in variable snow. K2's Titanal Touring Tech, keeps the Wayback 98’s maneuverable and stable when speeds get high. K2 redefines the standard for lightweight and high-performance touring skis.

Weight: 1260g/Paar @ 165cm
