All Terrain Rocker
ROCKER: Easy initiation, versatility, agility
CAMBER: Control, edge hold, rebound
All-Terrain Rocker features an elevated tip for variable and soft snow performance, as well as camber underfoot for power, energy, and edge-hold in firmer conditions.
Simply put, All-Terrain Rocker offers versatility and ease in all snow conditions.

Progressive Sidecut
Progressive sidecut is a combination of two different radii, or sidecuts, that enhance the versatility of wider-waist skis. Standard sidecut theory is based on using a single radius. This works well on narrower skis, but becomes overpowering on wider skis, especially in variable conditions. The use of progressive sidecut on wider-waist skis guarantees improved turn initiation and hard-snow performance. -
Carbon Web
Carbon Web pushes the balance between weight and strength gaining downhill performance without adding additional mass. Located in the tail and the forebody of the skim the Carbon Web increases edge grip when you need it most in the backcountry. -
Powder-Specific Tip Design
The widest point of a powder tip is 7cm back from the standard contact point. The design adds stability and predictability while skiing and is less likely to hook or grab in light crusts or variable conditions. -
BIO Core Tech
For backcountry skiers conscious of their caloric and environmental output, our Adventure skis use a blended core of aspen, bamboo, and Paulownia, (a reforestation plantation tree similar to bamboo) that has consistent density, great strength-to-weight ratio, and fast-growth carbon-sequestration. The core is just one component of the ski, but the result is 15% weight savings over our traditional fir/aspen cores and a lessened footprint, reducing the impact of the ski on you and the winter world. -
Skin Clip Arc
The tails of our Adventure skis are designed with a concave notch to ensure that the skin clip, regardless of size or skin brand, stays securely centered on the tail. -
Flat Tails
All Adventure skis come with flat tails, providing backcountry utility by allowing you to plunge the tails easily into firm snow. -
Tip and Tail Holes
Holes in the tip and tail are not only the attachments points for K2 skins, but they also fit the functional needs of a backcountry skier including the ability to build a rescue sled or construct various ski anchors. The holes are equipped with removable plugs. -
SnoPhobic Topsheet
Snow collecting on a ski can add weight to a climb. Our SnoPhobic tops keep you light with a new snow-repellent topsheet. The running surface along the bottom of a ski is hydrophobic by design, so we've developed a thinner version of the same material to use on the Back model-specific topsheets. Applying wax to the topsheet increases snow shedding performance. -
Cap Construction
Durable and lightweight “cap” skis are built by a sophisticated molding process that envelopes the core and internal materials with the top layer of the ski. Used throughout our ski line, cap constructions can be assembled with a variety of different cores. These variations, such as glass and/or metal materials, are the determining factors of the skis’ performance. -
Triaxial Braiding
Triaxial braiding consists of braiding fiberglass around a wood core to provide torsional rigidity for added control. Developed in 1988 by K2 engineers, the patented triaxial braiding machine interlocks strands of fiberglass around a milled wood core. While flex and torsion vary depending on the wood, Triaxially braided skis share the common traits of ease, forgiveness, responsiveness, and energy in both expert and entry level skis.

Comments about K2 Skis GotBack:
I got this ski with the idea that it would be my new powder/back-country ski, and was a bit concerned with how well they would ride in more hard-packed conditions. I tried them out this weekend, and was thrilled to discover that they rocked both the groomed, hard-packed, and chunky stuff at Snowmass, as well as the deep powder in the Bowl at Aspen Highlands. Haven't gotten into the super large moguls yet, so will have to hold off judgment there. That said, I think I just found my new everyday ski!

Comments about K2 Skis GotBack:
Baby gets back on these skis. I work on the mountain at Schweitzer, and I love it that I can put these on in the morning and not have to worry about changing as soon as it gets cut up. Very manageable on the hard stuff. But even better, they're heaven in the powder; talk about getting wings...

Comments about K2 Skis GotBack:
I just returned from a week of Heli-skiing with CMH. They have added the Gotbacks to their selection. I found them to be great and loads of fun. I skied them in thigh deep powder, some windpack, through Alpine terrain, steep tree runs, cutblocks and even logging roads. They were great. I would definitely recommend these for varied terrain.

Comments about K2 Skis GotBack:
This is the perfect ski and my favorite for skiing the conditions and terrain in Jackson Hole. Skiing at Jackson is like a box of chocolates, always sweet and you never know what you're going to get. Conditions can go from deep powder to crud to corn depending on the altitude and changing weather conditions. You need a ski that you can rely on and keep you charging all day.
The Gotback is 102 underfoot, which provides the stability I need to be aggressive in powder and on hardpack. They float when I need them to, carve effortlessly and hold speed through variable terrain. The 135cm shovel has a mini rocker which keeps the tips on top of the snow.
This is the perfect ski to have in your quiver for powder days and my choice for everyday skiing.
