2026 K2 Wayback 98 Ski

Sitting pretty as the most versatile contender in the Wayback series, the K2 Wayback 98 Skis are a staple in their own right and serve to bridge the gap between uphill efficiency and downhill power. In replacing last year’s Wayback 96, the Wayback 98 emerges just as truly gifted as its narrower predecessor and continues the Wayback trend of featherweight performance in a powerful frame. With an upper-90’s waist and a lightweight core, the Wayback 98 officially stakes its claim as the most balanced performer in the series and thus becomes the one to beat when conditions are unpredictable and the terrain gets steep. When combined with a carbon-powered construction, a progressive rocker profile, and a titanal spine, the Wayback 98 boasts a surprisingly stout construction for a ski of its nature and remains impossibly lightweight despite its build. In tipping the scales at 1,390 grams per ski, the K2 Wayback 98 Skis are able to achieve an outstanding strength-to-weight ratio that translates to impeccable efficiency on both the downhill and the climb.
