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

22/23 Wayback 80

 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

 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 Salomon QST 106 is a free ride oriented ski that shines in deep snow and off-piste conditions, while still having plenty of hard snow capabilities to function as a great daily driver on the west coast, or for advanced skiers who prioritize powder and off trail performance. 106mm underfoot, with a long tapered rocker in the tips and tails, this ski is made to conquer deep snow and big mountain lines with confidence. With added Carbon, flax, and titanal they have precise handling and easy turn initiation, making them playful over the entire mountain.
Key Features:
- Poplar Wood Core – Salomon build the QST line around a full Poplar wood core. This creates a lively and stable ski that helps minimize vibrations.
- Cork Damplifier and C/FX – In addition to the Poplar wood core, Salomon adds cork in the tips and tails to help further reduce chatter, and use a layer of blended Carbon and Flax materials through the ski to increase torsional stiffness and stability at speed.
- TI Binding Reinforcement – Titanal is added edge to edge in the center of the ski to increase edge grip and carving performance without adding unnecessary weight.
- Full Sandwich Sidewalls  – Full length sidewalls, with added high density ABS material underfoot, maximizes hard snow performance and edge grip through the camber of the ski.

The Salomon QST 106 is made for skiers needing a mid-fat, all-mountain, freeride ski with balanced hardpack and soft snow capability. The 106mm waist is the perfect width for a West Coast daily driver, and makes for a great powder ski anywhere else. Salomon's Cork Damplifier Inserts in tip and tail keeps the ride smooth in variable snow conditions, and a moderately stiff flex through the tail provides bags of stability at speed, as well as impressive grip on icier snow.
Key Features:
- Light Popular Full Woodcore – A woodcore from tip to tail offers optimum stability on snow and powerful rebound which maximizes ski-to-snow contact and filters vibrations.
- Cork Damplifier – This cork in the tip of the ski enables a high level of vibration absorption and dampening with even less weight.
- Double Sidewall Construction – This high density piece of ABS underfoot combined with full length sidewalls allows a strong platform underfoot to enhance grip on hardpack.

The Salomon QST 106 is a soft snow, all-mountain ski for intermediate and advanced skiers.
Key Features:
- 106mm Waist – At 106mm underfoot, the Salomon QST 106 shines in soft snow but is consciously narrow enough to handle groomers and variable conditions.
- Poplar Core – The full poplar wood core of the ski is responsive and energetic for a smooth, consistent ride.
- Carbon Weave – Carbon is used in a flax weave in the QST 106 to mitigate vibrations, improving stability.
- Titanal Powerframe – A Titanal plate is added to the QST 106 for top-notch power transmission and stability.

 What do you guys think? Right tool for the job today, that's for sure. Yeah mixed snow conditions, this thing just plows right through it all. Yeah pretty sweet. So yeah, we'll leave you with some skiing footage for now and then we'll meet you back in the studio and we'll kind of go through the changes and the construction and all those details that we normally do

 But yeah, it would be impossible for me personally to ignore the, the freestyle capabilities of this ski or rather it's, it's a, it's willingness to ski switch when you want to, which is pretty sweet. And it kind of, yeah, like I said, goes back to that idea that it'll work for a wide range of skiers. So that's the QSD blank from Solomon, a fantastic ski. You know, like I said, it's pretty hard to not have a good time on a powder ski when you get a bunch of really good snow
