2026 K2 Wayback 89 Women's Ski

The K2 Wayback 89 Women’s Skis were built with the input from athletes and guides as a replacement for the Wayback 88. Aside from an extra millimeter underfoot, the Wayback 89 returns unchanged from its narrower predecessor and thus emerges for the new season just as versatile as those who came before it. In tipping the scales at 1150 grams per ski, the Wayback 89 becomes an impossibly lightweight performer whose stout construction makes such lightness an incredible anomaly. Its Paulownia Tour Light core is one of the lightest on the market, so there’s no surprise there, but the Wayback 89’s addition of Carbon Overdrive and Titanal Spine technology gives this touring ski a unique leg up over others in a similar category. Predictable turn initiation, superior damping, and steadfast grip are all a result of this construction, with each of these characteristics allowing the Wayback 89 to remain strong yet efficient on the ascent. When combined with an All-Terrain Rocker profile and an 89mm waist, the Wayback 89 becomes quite the downhill performer and boasts the perfect profile and construction combination for tearing up the groomers or diving into the trees. A 15.8 meter turn radius rounds out the build by giving the K2 Wayback 89 Women’s Skis the final push they need to become the standard in touring performance for women.
