A powder ski built for adventurous skiers like Doug Coombs
Coombs was the consummate adventure skier. He was equally happy ticking off first
descents in the Chugach via helicopter, as he was skinning to the top of Antarctica’s Mt.
Vinson. Consequently, he needed skis that delivered solid edge hold and stability at
speed, but were also light enough for touring. To accomplish that, K2 retained the
powder tip, progressive sidecut and buoyant 102 waist that gave the original Coomba
superior predictability in erratic conditions. Then they added slight shovel rocker to give it
quicker initiation and better versatility. We think Doug would be proud.
A percentage of all COOMBAck ski sales will be donated to the Coombs family. K2 will
also donate a portion of the proceeds to the American Mountain Guide Association’s
Chad Vanderham Endowment which is focused on improving guide education and safety.
