You might not even fully realize just how much you want a ski like this. For high-volume ski touring, steep-and-rowdy firm-snow ski mountaineering, and work-week, headlamp exercise skinning, a lightweight set-up based on the K2 WayBack 80 is just the ticket. The featherweight construction flies uphill. The narrow and stiff construction grabs on the steeps but gets bucked around in tougher snow. 
This is a specialized tool. You won't pick these for day-to-day backcountry skiing. Deep, perfect powder snow is enjoyable, but bigger guns will be even more fun. Any sort of poor snow &#40;breakable crust? Slop?&#41; is better handled by a bigger and heavier option. All small skis are under-equipped for tough snow, but the K2 does better than most. It is this ski's more forgiving tough-snow performance that edges it ahead of other close competitors.

Best Backcountry Skis of 2022 - GearLab

Obviously I won't be taking these out for powder laps but for long/fast and/or late season missions this is a great choice at a great price. Match them with a race binding (I mounted a Plum 150), light boots and race skins and you'll have a setup you won&#39;t mind hiking with to find snow in mid summer.

I got these for late spring/summer use and couldn't be happier. They are very light but can still be skied hard. I have found they shine on steep icy slopes (skied bulletproof on Temple SW) and they handle those horrible summer sun cups just fine. Compared to the Waybacks 88s I find they are a bit less grabby in breakable crusts and easier to control on steep ice

Awesome summer ski

 Hi everyone. My name is Jed Yizer and I'm the ski product director for K2 Skis. Here to talk about our Wayback 80, which is the narrowest ski in the Wayback collection and by far the lightest. This ski is coming in at just over a kilogram and as such is a really great ski for long missions

 Here to talk about our Wayback 80, which is the narrowest ski in the Wayback collection and by far the lightest. This ski is coming in at just over a kilogram and as such is a really great ski for long missions. If you want to get into ski ronde ney racing, this is a great option. But being 80 underfoot, it's a lot more capable and versatile than a standard ronde ney ski is

 Here to talk about our Wayback 80, which is the narrowest ski in the Wayback collection

 This ski is coming in at just over a kilogram and as such is a really great ski for long

 If you want to get into ski ronde ney racing, this is a great option.

 But being 80 underfoot, it's a lot more capable and versatile than a standard ronde ney ski

 So the Wayback 80 features our titanal touring technology, which is a titanal plate that

 starts underfoot and extends into the tip and hit tail to really improve the power transmission

 of the ski, which is particularly important for a ski that's this light.

 The Wayback 80 also has our snow phobic top sheet, which is a top sheet texture that we've

 developed to help shed snow and keep the ski light from when you start to when you end

 The Wayback 80 uses our Steadfast base, which is a new base material that we've developed.

 It's a completely new molecule that holds wax about nine times longer than a standard

 It's also much friendlier for the environment.

 It takes about 30% less energy to produce than a standard high-end sintered base.

 And in particular importance for touring skis, the new Steadfast base really holds wax stronger

 So every time you rip skins, the wax is staying in your base and not going into the skin.

Ski Review - K2 Wayback 88 - Solid Springtime Performer - The Backcountry Ski Touring Blog

2021-2022 K2 Wayback 106 | Blister

The Nordica Astral 88 by Nordica is a responsive, all-mountain ski for intermediate and advanced skiers that don’t find a ton of fresh snow.
Key Features:
- 88mm Underfoot – At this narrower width, this ski is most built for firmer snow conditions and will be easy to put on edge.
- Rocker/Camber/Rocker Profile – This ski has rocker in the tip and tail, meaning that it will have some float in powder and be easy to turn.
- Balsa Core – Balsa wood, which is very light and sustainable, offers an exceptionally strong, lightweight, and damp core.

 It's got an 88 underfoot which means it can handle anything you're going to throw at it but when it hits that soft snow it doesn't lose any sort of edge whatsoever. It like short turns, fast turns, it's super, super responsive but it is a little lightweight so at the higher speeds you're not going to get quite the performance as you would get on something a little bit heavier. However, I would highly recommend this for any advanced to expert level skier looking to ski the entire mountain in any conditions.

 Hi, my name is Jess and I just got off of the Nordica Astral 88. This is a great all-mountain ski so it's definitely meant for a little bit more of the front side and some of the side country stuff but it's got a ton of grip.

The Nordica Astral 88 is perfect option for the strong intermediate to expert level skier looking for all-mountain versatility to ride in the groomed and ungroomed terrain. Nordica's Balsa Core Torsion Bridge Ti Construction has the great combination of feeling light on your feet and powerful at the same time. The Titanium Hex Bridge brings extra edge hold and stability without the heavy, edge to edge metal laminates that many other skis use. A Blunt Nose Tip Shape gives you great floatation when the snow gets deep along with smooth turn initiation and vibration absorption when conditions get chunky. A Squared Off Tail Shape allows for more power as you exit a turn and stronger edge hold. If you are looking for a ski that will do it all for you, without having you exert too much energy, the Nordica Astral 88 is a great ski for you.

 Today we had some icy spots on the hill and it held an edge really nicely. When I got into the softer crummy snow it went through that with a breeze still held an edge really well for me. I was able to initiate turns with no problem going down the steeper runs today.
