The Wayback 84 bucks the trend of expensive BC skis. It keeps things simple and is all the better for it. A Paulownia Tour Lite wood core keeps the weight down and still provides the right amount of strength and liveliness. All Terrain Rocker uses camber underfoot for grip with a low, gradual tip rocker for smooth handling, and a short, low rise in the tail to boost control. Use it for fitness laps on the local hill or making your first moves in the backcountry, the Wayback 84 won’t break the bank or let you down.
Terrain Type & Ability Level
Terrain Type
This could be a in-resort fitness lap option or a softer-flexing choice for the first journeys away from the piste map. The very hardest snow on steeper terrain or the deepest condition may trouble it, but everything else will not cause the slightest problem for this easy to use BC option.
Skier Type
The Wayback 84 might be a first BC ski at a very competitive price or maybe a great option for a lighter ski that doesn’t want a stiff model. There’s no metal or carbon fibre so it is at the softer flex of the range within BC skis, which is great for boosting confidence and starting to explore more of the mountain.
Overview
Shape
A fairly traditional shape for an all terrain ski, with some length to the tip and tail but not too much. This ensures the ski is smooth and easy to turn in softer and variable snow but has enough precision for firmer conditions. 84 in the waist with a 20m radius in 174cm provides stability in a range of snow except the deepest days.
Rocker
All Terrain Rocker skis have a gradual rise to the tip for great versatility in all conditions, with a short, low rise in the tail for added control in variable snow.
Core
Paulownia Tour Lite, a lively, flexible wood with excellent weight to strength ratio.
Construction
Cap construction keeps the weight down, durability up and makes sure the ski has the right amount of forgiveness.
Key Features
Snophobic Topsheet
Topsheet material that helps eliminate snow build up while touring up and riding down, saving you from carrying the excess weight of snow stuck to the skis surface.
