K2 Wayback 106 Men's Skis 2027

The tool for epic backcountry powder missions.

$849.95

The Wayback 106 is the flagship powder tool for backcountry skiers and mountain guides chasing soft snow worldwide. Titanal Touring Tech, All-Terrain Rocker, and Bio Resin deliver downhill performance that rewards the climb — without the weight penalty that turns a tour into a slog. A mid-fat waist and powder-tuned shape make it the obvious choice when it's deep and uphill efficiency still matters.

Features

Ti SpYne

Titanal laminate developed specifically for K2 Touring skis that dramatically increases predictability and damping on lightweight carbon constructions, while enhancing stability and edge grip.

Carbon Overdrive

Carbon Overdrive integrates extended carbon laminates running lengthwise through the ski to amplify rebound and acceleration. This construction increases torsional rigidity and precision while maintaining a smooth, controlled flex. Designed for skiers seeking explosive energy and confident edge engagement, Carbon Overdrive delivers powerful response without sacrificing stability or predictability at speed.

Snophobic™ Topsheet

Helps eliminate snow build up while touring up and riding down.

Bio-Resin

Bio‑Resin replaces traditional petroleum-based resin with renewable plant-based materials, reducing environmental impact without sacrificing performance. It maintains strength, durability, and consistent flex while lowering carbon footprint. Used throughout K2 constructions, Bio‑Resin supports sustainability goals while delivering the same reliable energy transfer, bonding integrity, and long-term structural performance skiers expect.

Rocker

All-Terrain Rocker

Blends gradual tip rocker with traditional camber underfoot for versatility across conditions. The rocker improves turn initiation and float, while camber delivers edge hold and stability. Designed to perform on groomers, crud, and light powder, it offers predictable response for everyday all-mountain skiing in mixed terrain and seasons.

Core

Paulownia Core

Uses lightweight paulownia wood to create efficient, nimble skis with reduced mass. Known for its low density, paulownia improves maneuverability and decreases fatigue while maintaining adequate strength. This core is ideal for touring, freestyle, or lightweight all-mountain designs where efficiency, quick response, and easy handling are priorities.
