From Powder7.com: The K2 GotBack is 102 mm at the waist, super lightweight, and is ready to rock. Though no longer the biggest gal in the neighborhood, the K2 GotBack is clearly the most versatile. Lighter and more playful, she is just as happy going for long walks in the backcountry as she is painting smooth arcs in an open bowl or dancing through tight trees at the resort. She says it is due to her All Terrain shovel rocker and Bioflex wood core, but I think she is just being modest.
Construction: Triaxial Braided Cap
Core: Aspen / Paulownia / Bamboo Bioflex 2
Performance: 50% powder / 50% variable
K2 was established on Vashon Island, Washington in 1961 by the Kirschner brothers. It should come as no surprise that the company hails from Vashon Island, an outpost of free thinking and new ideas in Puget Sound. The company gained prominence when American ski racers Phil and Steve Mahre won World Cups, World Championships, and Olympic medals on the skis.
K2 is now based in Seattle, Washington and produces some of the most popular skis in the world. The men's Apache series and corresponding women's Luv series are the brand's expert level skis and are known for performing well under a variety of conditions with a lively yet predictable feel.
A note that will help many: In the past few years K2 skis have run long compared to other brands. In 2009 K2 fixed this be adding 3cm to the stated length of most of their skis while keeping the actual length the same. So a 2008 Recon in 167cm is the same length as a 2009 Recon in 170cm.
