Technology

Rocker

All-Terrain Rocker

Blends gradual tip rocker with traditional camber underfoot for versatility across conditions. The rocker improves turn initiation and float, while camber delivers edge hold and stability. Designed to perform on groomers, crud, and light powder, it offers predictable response for everyday all-mountain skiing in mixed terrain and seasons.

Core

Aspen Veneer

Lightweight and resilient, aspen is a great all-around core material.

Biobased Resin

A resin formulation containing 31% biobased carbon content. Designed to deliver strong bonding performance and enhanced cold-temperature durability while incorporating renewable plant-derived materials into the construction.

Used throughout K2 construction, biobased resin delivers the same reliable energy transfer, bonding integrity, and long-term structural performance skiers expect.

Slantwall

Adding a 30° angle to the sidewall in K2’s Hybritech construction, SlantWall increases a ski's agility and responsiveness while maintaining accuracy and power.
