K2 BackUp 2011-2012

The 11/12 BackUp is the ideal ski mountaineering tool. Built with Speed Rocker to take on all snow conditions, the BackUp is equally happy making laps as a resort telemark ski. Two sheets of metal with an ultra-lightweight wood core provide exceptional edgehold, as well as a damp, supple feel typically not commonly found in skis this light. Its 82 mm waist is narrow enough to excel whether descending refrozen conditions or skinning in hard, bony conditions, but wide enough to handle variable snow with ease and predictability.
