Ah, seasons of life. Always something new. Latest: Young man’s first summer back home from college. Only question: How to get him back home for as long as possible before his next adventure?

With the help of K2 Skis, TA DA, enter the K2 College Skier Attractant System!
Always fun when the UPS truck idles outside my office window, then I hear the clunk of a big brown box landing on our front porch. This time, a brand new pair of K2 Coomback skis. From what I've heard on the grapevine, these things might be next season's must-have for backcountry skiing.
Check out the tip rocker on these planks! No joke.
