From BobWards.com:
The Escape is the top ski in our Widetrak line, with an air-channeled wood core for light weight and performance. The Omnitrak base gives it incredible grip and glide, and the slight KV-Taper makes it easy for anyone to ski. Quick enough to take on groomed tracks but stable enough for skiing in ungroomed backyard conditions, the Escape is the perfect all-around ski. We recommend the Zoom boot with the Escape.
FEATURES:
  • Dimensions: 60-55-56
  • Air-Channeled Wood Core
  • Omnitrak NoWax Base
  • KV-Taper Sidecut
  • Boot Recommenation: Zoom Boot
OMNITRAK NOWAX BASE
Not all bases are created equal. For fast and light winter exploration, nothing beats the simplicity and ease of the Omnitrak NoWax base. The molded - as opposed to cut - base allows for variable pitch, depth and shape of the scales that grip the snow. Engineered with five zones, the Omnitrak base uses round spaced scales in transition zones for a smoother, more efficient glide, and sharp, tight scales underfoot for maximum grip where it`s needed. There`s no messing with the hassle of waxing or worrying about changing conditions. The positive pattern of the Omnitrak base is unique and easy to maintain, and it alone offers superior grip in all snow conditions.
TOURCAP AIR-CHANNELED CORE
The Escape uses the Tourcap Air-Channeled core construction for durability and quickness on the trail. A 100% wood core made from laminated blocks is air-channeled to reduce weight and wrapped in a light Cap construction, giving the performance of a wood core ski, with an even lighter feel.

From Mountain Gear:
Karhu's top ski in the Widetrak line, the Escape has an air-channeled wood core for light weight and performance, an Omnitrak base gives for outstanding grip and glide and a slight KV-Taper that makes it easy for anyone to ski. The ideal all arounder, it's quick enough for the groomed tracks and stable enough for wilder conditions.
Features:
  • Moderate sidecut coupled with cap technology make it a fast, smooth gliding touring ski.
  • The 100% wood core is made from wide blocks of high-quality Aspen and Birch laminated side by side and then air channeled to reduce weight
  • Widetrak design is shorter and wider than traditional XC skis, increasing stability and easier maneuverability
  • KV-Taper means a tighter radius sidecut at the tip splined with a much straighter sidecut at the tail for easy turn initiation and exit as well as enhanced tracking while touring
  • The Omnitrak waxless base is positive with a graduated grip pattern of round, spaced scales in transition zones for smooth, efficient glide; sharp, tight scales underfoot for maximum grip

Specifications:
