K2 Talkback 88 21/22 Touring Ski
The tried-and-true flagship model of K2’s touring collection, the K2 Talkback 88 is the perfect backcountry ski.
With an 88mm waist, Carbon reinforcement and strategic metal placement underfoot, the Talkback 88 offers the lightweight maneuverability for big alpine ascents, but remains stout enough for the even the most variable descents. Tackle the pow, rule the wind-buff, and take that third lap. Go on; find your own path.

Paulownia
Lively, flexible wood with excellent weight to strength ratio.
K2 uses a variety of wood species and blends for the energy, rebound and liveliness found in a wood ski core.
Ti SpYne
Titanal laminate specifically developed for the Wayback and Talkback collections to increase,predictability, stability, and damping on lightweight constructions. --- T3 Construction - Titanal Touring Technology is based on the premise that going downhill is the priority. Same aswe do with our high-end piste and freeride skis, we’ve incorporated Titanal laminates into theconstruction of our award winning Wayback and Talkback skis. The weight of our touring skisspeaks for itself, we’ll let the smile on your face at the bottom of the run speak to their downhillperformance.
Snowphobic Topsheet
Hydrophobic snow-shedding topsheet material that helps prevent snow buildup.
Carbon Overdrive
Uni-directional carbon fiber to reinforce the construction of our touring skis and keep them light and strong so we can add more metal. It’s about going downhill.
Skin Grommets
Reinforced grommets in the tip and tail of the ski that both accomodate K2's pre-cut skins with a Z-clip ski attachment, and can be used with K2/BCA shovels to build a rescue sled.
