K2 Apache Coomba Downhill Skis - Men's

Description

K2 Apache Coomba. This K2 Ski is a next-generation powder ski built for adventure. The K2 Coomba was designed by Doug Coombs himself and it was only fitting that K2 named the ski after the legend himself. The Coomba will be one of the most sought after skis on the market.
The K2 Coomba features a new tip shape that is very predictable and forgiving in variable snow and powder, combined with a progressive sidecut for turning ease and power on hard snow.
With a balanced flex the K2 Coomba will be a great choice for anyone form the most serious alpinist to aspiring backcountry/heli skiers. The 102mm waist will give excellent flotation while still having easy handling in difficult conditions.
A percentage of all K2 Coomba ski sales will be donated to his wife, Emily, and their 3-year old son, David. K2 will also donate a portion of the proceeds to the American Mountain Guide Association's Chad Vanderham Endowment, which is focused on improving guide education and safety.
Features

• Dimensions: 135-102-121
• Torsion Box Construction- The Torsion Box construction is the foundation for the widest range of skis designed by K2. Depending on the dimensions of a ski and the amount of flex and torsion designed into it, one model of a Torsion Box ski can differ greatly from another. Built with a Triaxially Braided wood core, this construction is relatively simple (cheap) when compared to a metal laminate ski. Because of the versatility in this construction, Torsion Box constructions can be used to build everything from learning to expert skis. While there will be significant differences between a hellbent and a True Luv, they do share the common traits of ease, forgiveness, responsiveness, and energy that can be found in all Torsion Box skis.
• Mod Technology- Praised by magazine tests and validated by skiers around the world, MOD Technology has proven to be the ultimate in ski deign today. MOD combines an elastomeric secondary core that works as a high-performance suspension system and mass damper to provide the highest degree of ease, power, forgiveness and performance available in skis today. The amount, application and distribution of mass are keys to the success of MOD Technology. At K2, unlike any other manufacturer, our application of mass via the MOD structure doe not affect flex, allowing the ski to perform freely while MOD absorbs unwanted vibrations independently.
• Progressive Sidecut- Progressive Sidecut provides wider waisted skis with more versatility to be used in all conditions. Using Progressive Sidecut, K2 has found a way to combine these wider waisted ksis, with more aggressive sidecut. STandard sidecut theory is based on the belief that skis were meant to have a completely radial arc; that is to say if you followed the curve of the side of the ski the tip would match the tail. This works well on narrower waisted skis, but becomes overpowering on wider skis, especially in variable conditions. Progressive Sidecut has different curve shapes along different parts of the ski. Sidecut progressively increase as you move up the length of the ski from tail to tip. This provides confident and quick initiation on hard snow, while allowing easy release in powder and crud. Keynotes: More sidecut in tip and underfoot allows easy turn initiation and hard snow performance. Less sidecut in tail creates ease in tail release and improved performance in powder and crud.
