Seth continues to evolve as a skier & the K2 Side Seth
- along with its new home in the Backside collection
- reflects his recent focus on more technical big mountain skiing. Though soft snow focused, a stiffer tail with slightly less rocker improves hard snow performance & transforms the Side Seth into a more versatile hard charging plank thats specialized for big mountain skiing. The slightly raised kick tail retains versatility & forgiveness in narrow, concave couloirs while it also increases the skis utility as a tool. Combine the Side Seth with a pair of pre cut K2 skins, Marker Barons, Backside carbon poles & the Pichuck kit & you should be ready to hit the backcountry with complete confidence. Ability Level

The camber region still exists to ensure edge-hold on firmer conditions. Simply put, Powder Rocker provides unmatched flotation in deep snow. Powder-Specific Tip Design The widest point of a powder tip is 7cm back from the standard contact point. The design adds stability & predictability while skiing & is less likely to hook or grab in light crusts or variable conditions. 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. Tip & Tail Hardware Holes in the tip & tail are not only the attachments points for K2 skins, but they also fit the functional needs of a backcountry skier including the ability to build a rescue sled or construct various ski anchors. The holes are equipped with removable plugs.
