Designed for adventure-seeking powder hounds like legendary skier Doug Coombs, K2's Coomback skis deliver solid edge hold and stability at speed, and are light enough for touring. Versatility is yours as you take advantage of the soft-snow and powder performance offered via the powder tip, progressive sidecut and 102 mm waist, while the added shovel rocker gives you quicker turn initiation. F09 f09 newski Specifications based on size 174.
A powder ski built for people who like adventures, the K2 Coomba is equally happy ticking off first descents or skinning up unknown peaks.
In honor of one of the greatest ski guides of all time K2 created the go-anywhere, do-anything Coomba Ski. Fat in the waist, rockered in the tip and ready to rip, this fir-core ski loves the deep days, but makes lemonade when Nature serves up lemons. K2’s skin clip arch takes the hassel out of keeping skins locked onto the tail of the Coomba when you’re stomping out a skin track, and the powder-specific rockered tip takes the thigh-burn out of laps in the pow.
K2 COOMBback Skis 2010: A powerful powder ski built for skiers the likes of Doug Coombs. An accomplished adventure skier, whether dropping into first descents via helicopter or skinning summits, needs a ski stable enough to hold an edge at high speeds yet light enough for touring. K2 retained the powder tip, progressive sidecut and buoyant 102 waist that gave the original Coomba superior predictability in erratic conditions, then added slight shovel rocker to give it quicker initiation and better versatility.
Last year's hit the K2 Coomba returns in an improved version as the K2 COOMBAck. Doug Coombs would be proud - skis that deliver solid edge hold and stability at speed, but are also light enough for touring. To accomplish that, K2 retained the powder tip, progressive sidecut and buoyant 102 waist that gave the original Coomba superior predictability in erratic conditions. Then they added slight shovel rocker to give it quicker initiation and better versatility.
Doug Coombs' inspired skis, the COOMBAck from K2, is a great ski for a wide variety of snow conditions, skiing styles, and difficulties. Doug would be proud of the versatility, boyancy, and powder ability that comes from this awesome ski!

Great Powder/Randonee Ski | |
| Rating: |  |
| Randonee: These skis are great for climbing with skins. They feel very light underfoot and they edge surpringingly well on on those dicey traverses. My STS skins fit and stay fixed perfectly. I did grind a notch into the tail. I would reccomend the 181cm for full-time touring because the 188's are a bit much to make kick turns with unless your taller than 6ft. I put springs in my Fritschi's which help. For breaking trail in deep snows these skis are excellent as the tips lift right up on top and the top sheet sheds snow well(waxed). They work well in all conditions up to hard pack. On Hard Pack and Ice they can be skied very slowly but vibrate wildly at speed.I blew up and launched twice on these trying to ski fast on hard pack. I think this due to the rocker wagging in the breeze. These would not serve for extreme descents in icy locations at all. Although not a quiver of one these would perfectly compliment a quiver of two pairs. The Coomback is a better and more specialized soft snow ski than the Coomba was but at the cost of versatility. Mine are 188's and work fine for me at 220lbs and 5'11". For most people the 181's would be a better fit unless you like to mach it in open terrain and variable snow. They can be turned in small areas but only because they are light and easy to throw around in their native powder habitat. They work best at moderate to high speed and wider radius turns(semi-big mountain style).You can push forward a lot but there is a limit and you can get launched. The tips are a bit rockered but these are not crude powder flotation tools.Play Hard and Have Fun! | |
