Wayback 106 Grateful Dead Syf 2023

The Wayback 106 is a men's freetouring ski from K2.

The Wayback range offers excellent downhill performance, great grip and impressive stability in all snow conditions. This range has also been fitted with Snowphobic hydrophobic topsheets. These prevent snow from sticking to the top of your skis, which would weigh your skis down. Ingenious! The Skin Grommets attachment system is very easy to use and very reliable.
This ski is a limited edition and a collaboration with the American rock band Grateful Dead Syf.

Indeed, the Titanal Touring Technology is a construction combining a Paulownia Tour Lite wood core, chosen for its lightweight properties and lively performance, and two layers of carbon fibre and fibreglass reinforcements. To top it all off, the Titanal plate, mainly placed around the centre of the ski, offers exceptional stability without weighing the ski down.

With its 106mm waist, the Wayback is the widest in the range. With a weight of 1.5 kg per ski, it is lighter than the older version of its little brother, the Wayback 96 which is quite impressive. With its wide sidecuts, you'll literally fly over the fresh snow with a massive smile on your face at such a speed that even jackdaws won't be able to keep up. It will not flinch on the days when the snow gods have decided not to turn on the powder machine, and it will traverse the complicated snow without a hitch, even at high speed.

Simply put, this Wayback 106 is a free touring ski for skiers from advanced to expert level, it allows you to forget that you have touring skis on your feet, and fly downhill. However, thanks to its new construction, you won't have had any trouble facing the long climb before and you won't have used up all your energy.
