The Curated Take

By the Expert Community

Who would LOVE the 2023 K2 Poachers? Any skier looking for a dialed ski for both in and outside the park. If you want a high-speed carver that's stable at speeds, these are not the skis for you. If you want a forgiving, playful ski that is just as fun outside the park as it is in the park, these are for you! I love these for both skiing jumps and rails, as well as ripping around the resorts both on and off the groomers. The wood core build and carbon fiber throughout the skis keep them lightweight and forgiving. The rocker camber rocker shape is why they are so fun both in and out of the park. The camber underfoot gives these an insane amount of pop. The low swing weight will help you progress and learn more tricks. The slight early rise in the tip and tail helps these 96mm waist skis handle a few inches of tracked pow. Now, anything more than 1-2 inches, I will want a K2 Reckoner 102 or something with a little more width to help with off-trail and powder performance.

Ideal for
  • These are a high end park ski
  • Great for skiing around the resorts both in and out of the park
  • Anyone looking for a more forgiving than stable at speeds skis
Not ideal for
  • These are not stable at high speeds
  • Not good in powder

The K2 Poacher is known as one of the most durable park skis out there. The core of this ski keeps it stable, solid, stiff, and ready to attack what challenges are going to be thrown its way. Known best as a versatile park ski, the Poacher is at home in the air, terrain park, halfpipe, and all around the mountain.

Key Features:

  • All Terrain Twin Rocker – Equal extended rise at the tip and tail prevents snagging when riding switch and allows for added versatility and control.
  • Double Barrel Core – It combines a denser fir wood core around the edges for power and impact resistance and a lighter-weight aspen wood core in the center for a livelier and energetic feel.
  • Twintech Sidewalls – The ski has durable sidewalls that are specifically built to make the top edges more resistant to ski impact damage.

Matthew was a lifesaver
5 /5
Matthew was super helpful. He asked a lot of questions and provided incredibly valuable insight. He made the entire process stress-free. Without his help it would have taken hours of research to figure out which skis to buy for my son. This was a great experience. Matthew went above and beyond to help me find the perfect skis.

Soren is awesome!
5 /5
He was very helpful and replied fairly quickly! It made the shopping process way easier. I am a totally knew to skiing. So his help was greatly appreciated. The only thing that may have made my decision making process easier would be if Soren provided some background on the suggested brands when he made the recommendations. I was just so new that I didn’t know what I was looking at

Johnny was such a great help!
5 /5
I was new the Curated experience, but Johnny was SO helpful! He had answers to every single question I had and was very open to hearing more when I had a concern. I feel like I was set up with the best board, boot, and binding bundle. I could not have done that on my own. I look forward to using this site, as well as Johnny's expertise for any other future snowboarding purchases I make.

Amazing to have a rider recommend proper gear
5 /5
Sarah took all my concerns and made sure that each piece of equipment was exactly what I wanted. Even though I had an idea of what I wanted, it was nice to have someone give feedback on most of the pieces. This professional is NOT money motivated and will not make you spend on the highest piece of equipment if they don't see it fitting your needs. Glad to have Sarah get me fitted for this season and especially grateful for the board set up tips! Also the conversations don't feel like a support chat. It's almost like being in a small snow shop with someone that actually wants to help and wants to see you enjoy what you're spending on.
