Simply put, All-Terrain Rocker offers versatility and ease in all snow conditions.

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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -

Best Uses
- Everything
I've had about 20 days on these so far and I love them! Last season I was using the Seth and these are much better for touring. I like the flat tail for kick turns and plunging the ski into the snow. I feel very confident on these skis in any conditions. Best backcountry ski I've ever been on. Only complaint is the top sheet does not shed snow as it claims.

BackDrop
Built with All-Terrain Rocker
142/112/131
Product Description
Of course fat skis rip in pow, but they’re also heavier, and therefore a pain to drag around the backcountry. Enter the BackDrop. We started with the superlight construction of the WayBack, fattened the waist to 112mm, and increased the shovel rocker. So whether you’re looking for a lightweight, mid-winter touring ski or a quicker, more playful resort powder slayer, the BackDrop is a willing accomplice.
