K2’s Marksman draws on the creativity of Pep Fujas, making it the perfect partner for rails, kickers, powder & fast descents anywhere on the mountain. This is a ski that will suit all terrain skiers who want to ski powerfully all over the mountain but who want to retain a playful jibby feel from the ski. The All Terrain Rocker Twin shape suits the 106mm waist & construction. Camber underfoot helps with the pop in the park & adds grip on firm snow; long gradual rockers at the tip & tail ease butters & smooth initiation & release, giving the ski the right blend of control & looseness. The Double Barrel core construction uses a dense, tough fir core over the edges for power & impact resistance, with a lighter aspen centre for a lively energetic feel. Carbon Boost Braid adds longitudinal carbon stringers woven in to the Triaxial Braid for better rebound; Twintech sidewalls increase durability, resisting damage from rails & ski-to-ski contact. Best of all though is the Asymmetric Tip & Tail design that uses an elongated taper on the outside edges of the skis, giving the uphill edge a shorter effective running length & making it easier to control whether slashing, buttering or just ripping soft snow. The longer inside edge provides added stability & floatation as well as better grip. This is a ski that is playful & jibby when you want it to be, but powerful & precise when you push it, with the width to ski properly deep snow. The Marksman will take your skiing anywhere. ...

K2’s Mindbender 90 Ti is our Overall Ski of the Year. It’s a fun all-terrain ripper that takes it influence from wider skis. Never hard to use but not lacking in performance either, it’s as happy blasting carves on groomers as it is hounding out powder stashes. Torsion Control Design coupled with a Powerwall Construction & a Ti Y-beam provides the control & edge grip by stopping the skis twisting & flexing too much at high speed. At slower speeds the ski initiates easily & in tricky conditions it handles perfectly. Tester’s comments: Mark (Trainer) So much fun smashing around in the crud. I had absolute confidence & total control on chopped up piste, it just cruises straight over it all. ...

The Poacher is the go-to ski for the K2 Factory Team, equally at home on huge features as gnarly street tests. 96mm underfoot is the kind of width that suits a variety of terrain, matched by a construction that mixes enough flex for the park & a stiffness that works all mountain. The All Terrain Rocker Twin shape suits the 96mm waist & construction. Camber underfoot helps with the pop in the park & adds grip on firm snow; gradual rockers at the tip & tail ease butters & smooth initiation & release, giving the ski the right blend of control & looseness. The Double Barrel core construction uses a dense, tough fir core over the edges for power & impact resistance, with a lighter aspen centre for a lively energetic feel. Carbon Boost Braid adds longitudinal carbon stringers woven in to the Triaxial Braid for better rebound; Twintech sidewalls increase durability, resisting damage from rails & ski-to-ski contact. Point them straight on the groomers & when it’s time to turn the Poacher has the kind of grip that similar skis can’t match, plus it has the power to deal with trickier conditions. But this isn’t just stiff all mountain ski with a twin shape, it’s the real deal in the park with the flex dialled so that it feels soft enough to press, butter & have fun on. It is one of the very best do-it-all freestyle skis that is genuinely comfortable in all terrain or skiing styles. ...

K2’s Sight is a proven park performer, happy dropping the pipe, sending jump lines & greasing rails. Over the years the design has shown it to be one of the toughest, most fun & best value freestyle skis & this latest version carries that tradition forward. The All Terrain Rocker Twin shape suits the 88mm waist & construction. Camber underfoot helps with the pop in the park & adds grip on firm snow; rocker at the tip & tail eases butters & smoothes initiation & release, giving the ski the right blend of control & looseness. An aspen wood core mixes resilience with lightweight, with Carbon Boost Braid adding longitudinal carbon stringers woven in to the Triaxial Braid for better rebound. Twintech sidewalls increase durability, resisting damage from rails & ski-to-ski contact. Dryslope, Snowdome, park or even all mountain, the Sight is always a good option. ...
