K2 Standard Snowboard · 2023
The K2 Standard Snowboard is a great choice for those just getting started in the sport, or for intermediate riders looking to improve their skills on a forgiving, playful deck. It's made with a Catch-Free Rocker Baseline that moves the contact points off the snow for an intuitive and easy-going ride. Combines a soft flex and snappy Aspen wood core. Biaxially woven fiberglass hugs the aspen core and gives the board edge hold needed to handle higher speeds as you progress and explore new terrain. Directional twin, so you can play while moving in either direction as you fine tune your skills. It also uses Rocker Profile, featuring K2s Catch Free tune-that is flat in between the bindings and rockered just outside them as well. This results in easy release and initiation of each toe side or heel side turn. Easier turn release from the turns will equal faster progression. The package is rounded out with an Extruded 2000 base which is forgiving, durable and always ready for more fun.













K2 Raygun Pop Snowboard · 2023
The 2023 K2 Raygun Pop is a very well known intermediate board in the all mountain realm of snowboarding. It can jib, jump, stomp and slash, so in other words it is one of the most versatile decks on the market. It loves resort groomed runs just as much as park laps and coveted stashes of pow. A nice blend of camber and rocker, it gives reliability and stability without being too aggressive. Better yet, it wont break the bank! Intermediate and advanced riders unite!

An award winning all-mountain board comes at a killer price for the quality construction and versatility. Directional twin that has great control, a bit extra pop, yet with a nimble and playful feel suited to those in the beginner-intermediate range. A great board for progression at an even better price.

Groomer-cruisers, freestylers that like to jump and hug rails, any boarder looking for a quiver of one.

K2 Dreamsicle Snowboard · Women's · 2023
Summary: As the name suggests, this snowboard truly rides like a dream! It's suitable for both beginner and intermediate riders and will make your snowboard progress effortless! Seriously, if you're looking to progress on a board that's going to hold up in all sorts of conditions, this is a sweeeeet option!
Top Features:
This board has a "rocker-flat-rocker" profile (profile is the shape of the board when lying flat). This specific profile is extremely forgiving and hard to catch an edge on, meaning it's great for pushing your limits without fear of randomly faceplanting!
This snowboard is a "directional twin" meaning the stance is slightly setback and the nose is a little bigger than the tail. While you can easily ride in either direction, the slightly bigger nose means that this board will easily float through deeper snow/powder!
Why I personally love this snowboard: This is an "all-mountain" snowboard meaning it's meant to be ridden all over the whole resort. This makes it a good investment because you can ride it anywhere on any sort of terrain! Therefore, you won't have to worry about having the right type of board for the right situation and can head out to the mountain with confidence every day!

The K2 Dreamsicle is truely a dream board that turns the entire mountain into your own playground. Featuring a directional twin shape that rides smooth and easy, softer flexing coming in at 4/10, this option from K2 is blast to ride and will leave you lapping the mountain all day long. More designed for beginner to intermediate riders, this board is perfect for progression. Any advanced rider looking for a softer option, this is a great board for you!

K2 Broadcast Snowboard · 2023
This is one of K2's do-it-all workhorses, that is designed for versatility, all mountain riding conditions. Camber profile with rocker to the tip and tail, a classic versatile and fun profile for those who like carving, hitting jumps, buttering around, you name it. Slight taper and set back gives this board extra float in pow. An exceptional choice for the person who riding off piste due to the mid-stiff flex mid section, gives this board tons of stability. Fast sintered base.

K2 Instrument Snowboard · 2023
Directional freeride shape, slightly volume shifted with camber profile with rocker to the nose, creating a floaty surfy feel, and great carving ability. Taper from tip to tail adds more float in pow. Damp underfoot, can handle large jumps and heavy landings, and is very stable at speed. 7/10 flex, a great all mnt flex, offering great stability but still playful when needed

K2 Outline Snowboard · Women's · 2022
K2's number one women's freeride/all-mountain snowboard! Comes in a directional shape with setback camber towards the tail, keeping things super responsive and poppy when the going gets steep and deep, but also has some rocker at the nose to provide plenty of float, especially on low angle runs when it's a little easier to submarine with its stiffer flex being a 8/10. Has a super durable and very resistant Sintered 4000 base so speed will never be an issue, and that rocky chute you've been eyeing all season that looks a little dicey won't phase your base one bit. Need that big mountain machine? Or just wanna go really fast with something a little stiffer? Check the Outline!

K2 Snowboards Flagship Freeride model designed for the hardest charging lady rider! All mountain/powder oriented, this directional snowboard has camber in the center and will feel on the stiffer end but is ideal for fast riding. 8/10 flex will eat up any underfoot chatter while riding fast!

K2 Special Effects Snowboard · 2022
Rocker to Flat directional with a stiffer flex volume shifted shape. 3D contour nose that gradually blends the rocker to flat underfoot. Very stable on hard pack and excels in powder and soft snow.

K2 Niseko Pleasures Snowboard · 2022
Double overhead powder, charging groomers, boosting off natural features, or crushing pillow lines. It's combination camber profile holds an edge fantastically with rocker on the nose and tail that keeps your nose floating above it all. The carbon infused 5500 base is tough, so even when you smash a rock or bottom out over a jagged cliff drop no worries are needed!

Any advanced to expert rider looking for an alt-freeride type of board should be considering this. It can bomb, carve up any groomer, weave through tight trees, and float in the deepest. It is also a very light, fast, and great board!
