K2 Skis has been a leading provider of skis and ski gear for almost 50 years. K2 prides itself on manufacturing products for all skiers, from novice to expert. The company also carries a full line of ski gear.
K2 Skis breaks down its skis into three main categories. The first is its ‘All Mountain’ ski line. These skis are designed primarily for resort based, in-bound skiers. K2 All Mountain skis can handle a variety of conditions (fresh powder, man made, groomed, slush, ice, etc…). They are specifically designed for men and women with versatility and performance in mind.
K2’s ‘Adventure’ ski line debuted in 2009 and is built for the skier that likes to get off main trails. Whether it’s a short hike, alpine skiing, or accessing a high ridge, this is the ski for you. The adventure ski can accommodate any type of binding setup – a huge plus for the versatile skier who might like alpine touring on one mountain, and going for big trails on another.
K2 Skis also features it ‘Twin Tip’ line. Twin Tips have been growing steadily in the ski market over the last ten years, and K2 Skis has been at the forefront of that growth. Make no mistake, these are highly specialized skis, but with K2, Twin Tips can be customized for big mountain skiers, backcountry, all-terrain and more. K2 has focused heavily on the design and technology of its Twin Tips with a wide variety of skiers in mind.
What makes K2 unique in the ski market is its focus on continuously improving ski technology. K2’s models feature a variety of specific wood cores; fir and aspen for durability and energy in All Mountain models; Aspen and Paulownia blend in Adventure Series skis for additional strength without added weight. K2 Skis also feature a braided fiberglass core. This process of Triaxial Braiding gives K2 Skis enormous strength and twist rigidity, while maintaining the flex of a wood core.
Some of K2 Skis most popular models include:
- K2 A.M.P. Force
- K2 Silencer
- K2 SideStash
- K2 Juvy
- K2 MissConduct
- K2 Tru Luv
- K2 Coomback
- K2 Apache
Getting down the mountain takes more than a great set of skis, and K2 Skis has you covered. K2 ski helmets, poles, hats, sweatshirts and more are available to complete the ski experience. K2 Skis helmets are dedicated to providing both great style and protection. Their Pro Series helmet provides a unique user experience with audio and extra detailing and finish on each model.
In addition to providing a quality and innovative skis and gear, K2 Skis has focused on the growing women’s ski market. K2 Skis has formed a Women’s Alliance. From on hill testing to graphics and marketing, the Alliance is dedicated to developing the world’s best women’s high performance all mountain skis. The Alliance also gives back, supporting the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. K2 Skis has donated over $1,000,000 dollars to this great cause and other breast cancer research organizations.
