METAL LAMINATE Built from the base up, a metal laminate construction consists of alternating layers of fiberglass and titanal above and below the core. Metal Laminates provide damp, accurate, unshakable performance, ideal for expert and advanced level skiers. |
TWINTECH SIDEWALL Twin Tip specific construction increases the durability of K2 sidewall skis. A traditional sidewall construction produces a 90-degree angle where the top material and sidewall meet. The TwinTech construction rolls the top material into the sidewall, reducing the angle that is prone to abuse, minimizing ski-to-ski impact damage. |

ROCKER TYPE
All-Terrain Rocker Designed for all ability levels, All-Terrain Rocker adds versatility and ease in all snow conditions. This profile features an elevated tip and tail for variable and soft snow performance, as well as camber underfoot for power, energy, and edgehold in firmer conditions.
SHAPE
Freestyle Baseline 2.0 By designing a ski's profile (rocker and camber) to work in combination with it's overall shape (top shape and sidecut) K2's engineers are able to create skis specifically targeted for a desired type of terrain, ability level, snow condition, and even skiing style.
Tapered Tip A tapered shifts the widest part further back to reduce tip weight and deflection in soft and variable snow conditions. A tapered tail allows for easier release as you exit the turn for a more playful yet predictable and trusted feel.
Forebody Blunted round tips for a maximized sidecut with reduced weight.
Midbody Medium waist widths from 85 to 92 mm for solid grip with a moderate sidecut for quick, medium turn shapes.
Tail Blunted twin tips for a loose, easy release.
