DESCRIPTION

K2 worked with Doug Coombsthe late, great extreme skier, ski mountaineer, and heli guideto create the Apache Coomba Alpine Ski. This backcountry/powder ski's 102mm waist and Torsion Box construction provide excellent flotation and easy handling for tackling steep faces across the globe. Coombs gave his signature ski a new tip shape and balanced flex pattern for predictability in breakable crust and other less-than-ideal conditions. A progressive side cut ensures the Coomba still has enough power for the groomers or wind pack. A MOD secondary elastomeric core under the top sheet soaks up vibration and chop when straight-lining exit chutes. Doug Coombs died in La Grave France, doing what he lovedskiing steeps. K2 gives a percentage of all Apache Coomba sales to his wife and son, and will also donate to the Chad Vanderham Endowment, a nonprofit focused on improving guide education and safety.
