The K2 Superglide is the most versatile ski in the K2 women’s line for 2014, capable of skiing in all conditions across the whole mountain For 2014 the best-selling K2 Superglide has received upgrades to make what was already a best seller even better. The key feature is ROX Technology & this ski features AT ROX. Carbon web fibres are built into a 3d cross profile at the nose & the tail of the ski, to offer a blend of torsional rigidity with damping & progressive flex. The progressive side-cut helps with this versatility, effectively making the ski feel a little shorter when pressed into the turn, & then opening out when cruising the mountain. This great all-rounder provides excellent performance on all pistes regardless of condition, & can happily venture off the sides & explore the mountain. FEATURES & BENEFITS ROX Technology features carbon web fibres are built into a 3D cross profile at the nose & the tail of the ski, to offer a blend of torsional rigidity with damping & progressive flex. All-Terrain Rocker, a 70% Traditional Camber with a 30% tip rocker for a stable nose & smooth turns with forgiveness in softer snow & slush Bio Flex 2 Wood Core – 70% Aspen & 30% Paulownia to reduce swing weight & add performance, specifically for women MOD Technology for ski damping to keep the ski planted however choppy the terrain K2/ Marker ERC System -  The all-new K2/ Marker women’s-specific ERC (Energy Response Contact) binding system is our widest ski binding system, with a 54% wider attachment. Thanks to zinc feet that extend toward the edges of the ski, the ERC system delivers greater precision & control on the wider-waisted Super skis. In addition to being wider, the binding stand height has been reduced by 12%, adding almost 10% in weight savings.

Material: Aspen/ Paulownia/ Bamboo Woodcore Camber/ Rocker: All Terrain Rocker Technology: Triaxial Braid, Bio Flex 1 Core, MOD technology. Cap construction Bindings: Marker K2/ER3 10.0   Ski Features All Terrain Rocker (30% tip rocker): Designed for all ability levels with added versatility & ease in all snow conditions.  All-Terrain Rocker features an elevated tip for variable & soft snow performance, as well as camber underfoot for power, energy & edge-hold in firmer conditions. Triaxial Braiding: Triaxial braiding consists of braiding fiberglass around a wood core to provide torsional rigidity for added control. Developed in 1988 by K2 engineers, the patented triaxial braiding machine interlocks strands of fiberglass around a milled wood core. While flex & torsion vary depending on the wood, Triaxially braided skis share the common traits of ease, forgiveness, responsiveness, & energy in both expert & entry level skis. Bio Flex core: All K2 women’s skis use a combination of Aspen, Paulownia & Bamboo stringer in a unique core known as Bio Flex.  A strong Aspen core underfoot is fused with lightweight Paulownia towards the tip & tail to reduce swing-weight.  In 2012/13 K2 continued to develop three variations of the Bio Flex core specifically tuned to a target performance. This ski contains Bioflex 1:  60% aspen & 40% Paulownia

The K2 Superstitous Womens Skis are the best choice of expert-level women who charge the entire mountain & aren’t spooked by a blessing of new snow from mother nature.  Sporting All-Terrain Rocker on the widest Super Model Chassis, the Superstitious provides top-notch performance in soft snow, both on & off-trail. Every Ski in the 2011/12 K2 collection combines tried & tested construction methods with a host of innovative features designed to maximize performance in any snow condition.  K2’s Skis falls into a number of different categories;  The K2 Womens Super Model series are similar to the Mens A.M.P. series; however these skis are designed specifically for women, by women.  With thinner steel edges, leaner strips of Titanal & lighter weight bindings as well as the usual K2 features of Bioflex cores, Women’s Specfic Mod Structure & new for this year; forward shifted Sidecuts these skis are specifically engineered to match the unique requirements of the modern skier.   FEATURES Core:   All of the k 2 women’s skis use a combination of Aspen, Paulownia & Bamboo in a unique core known as Bio Flex, a process where a dense Aspen core underfoot is fused with lightweight paulownia at the tip & tail to reduce swing-weight.  K2 developed this technology specifically for women; lightweight & easy to manoeuvre, yet sturdy & offering high-performance.  This has the Bioflex 3 core which is 80% Aspen & 20% Paulownia.   This means increased performance, strength & durability. Metal Laminte: K2 women’s metal laminate skis are built with a thinner strip of titanal than men’s skis.  Proportional to lighter weight women skiers, the thinner layer offers overall weight reduction while still proving expert-level skiers the befits of performance & dampening, consistent with metal laminate construction. Hybritech Sidewalls:  Hybritech is a unique blend of sidewall & cap contractions.  The construction combines the accuracy, power & performance of sidewall underfoot with the lightweight characteristics & smooth turn initiation of cap construction. Progressive Sidecut:  Progressive sidecut is a combination of two different radii, or sidecuts, that enhance the versatility of wider-waist skis.  Standard sidecut theory is based on using a single radius.  This works well on narrower skis, but becomes overpowering on wider skis, especially in variable conditions, The use of progressive sidecut on wider-waist skis guarantees enhanced turn initiation & hard-snow performance. Mod Technology:  high-Performance Suspension System Mod functions by absorbing vibrations & impact loads along the entire ski, providing stronger edge-hold & a higher degree of power & control.  Mod is a secondary core that flexes & moves on top of the primary core, allowing the overall ski flex to be unaffected.  The optimum location & thickness of mass differs from men to women.  The aesthetic look of the Mod shape has also been customized with a svelte & more stylized appearance that graphically ties into the design of the skis. Mod Monic:  A Focused Mass Dampener; The Monic is a solid zinc mass that works in conjunction with the Mod structure to focus mass-dampening at the targeted location.  Although the location for this targeted mass dampening is consistent between our men’s & Women’s models, the amount of focused mass is reduced in our women’s version.  The women’s Mod Monic is designed to accent the overall look without sacrificing function. ...

K2 started out 50 years ago by two people – Who made animal cages – in a garage – on a small island in the Pacific Northwest of the United States.  Bill & Don Kirschner (thus the name K2) could have continued this quite life producing animal cages, but these guys were passionate skiers & so they bent steel, shaped cores, applied fibreglass, & through pure commitment, guts & determination built a ski brand out of their garage that has since become one of the largest in the world & their skis are often seen on the Freeride world cup circuit. This year K2 have looked back over this 50years of history & drawn the best ideas together to produce a great range of skis.  By combining proven shapes with optimal profiles K2 have managed to design their entire 2012/13 collection specifically for where you ski on the mountain.
