This
K2 SideStash Ski is for powder seekers - these deep
powder skis are perfect for resort powder-hunting and
sidecountry excursions, and come ready and willing for full-on backcountry expeditions
All-terrain rocker for even better float, making it more nimble
The elevated rocker tip provides variable and soft snow performance while camber underfoot delivers power, energy and edge-hold in firmer conditions
When it's time to reel it in-bounds, a metal-laminate Hybridtech sidewall furthers your stability through crud and firm pack
Hybritech Sidewalls combine the benefits of underfoot sidewall with cap construction, allowing for a wider-waisted design
Offered exclusively on the Side series, Hybritech makes skis strong, accurate and powerful underfoot, while maintaining smooth initiation and easy exits from turns
Powder-specific tip design makes the tip's widest point its forward contact point, as opposed to 7 cm in front of it like K2's other shaped skis, creating a more stable and predictable powder ski that won't grab in the variable conditions you find in the backcountry
Progressive sidecut combines two different radii to enhance the versatility of the wider waist, and to guarantee improved turn initiation and hard-snow performance
Flat tails are practical for the backcountry, allowing you to plunge into firm snow, build anchors and better secure your skis
Pre-cut skin compatible, the SideStash has its very own set of custom skins (
sold separately) so all you have to do is hit the snow
Holes drilled into the tip and tail act as skin attachment points, and facilitate building a quick, solid rescue sled or the construction of a ski anchor
Tip and tail holes come with plugs that can be removed with the simple twist of a flat head screwdriver (or coin)
Adjustable tail-strap clip interfaces with the tail hole to secure skins to the center of the ski, and sits on the ski top to not inhibit your glide
Skin clip arc furthers the skin's security with a concave notch on the tail
Z-clip attachment is quick, simple, lightweight and eliminates the skin fold-over required with typical D rings, reducing weight and getting rid of snow buildup under the fold
Core tech uses a lower-density aspen and very lightweight paulownia wood to reduce the weight resulting from wider-bodied deep powder skis
This core is 15 percent lighter than the fir and aspen blend traditional in K2 all-mountain skis
Metal laminate technology runs 2 sheets of lightweight titanium alloy along the length of the ski providing damp, accurate, unshakable performance
Buy a pair of K2 skis, get a day pass to Kirkwood Mountain Resort this winter (12/25/11 -4/15/12) and either a 2 hour group lesson or 2 hour progression session!
K2 Skis have been pioneering backcountry skis suitable for riding in bounds, and these versatile all mountain skis will take you from backcountry exploration to resort charging without flinching
