Curated's Verified Product ReviewersCurated's Verified Product ReviewersWho would love these
The K2 Poacher Skis are perfect for skiers who love the park but also want to explore the whole mountain. They're ideal for intermediate to advanced skiers who enjoy a playful ride and want a ski that can handle jumps, rails, and varied terrain. If you're someone who values durability and versatility in a ski, the Poacher is a great match. However, if you're looking for a ski specifically for deep powder or high-speed carving, you might want to consider other options.
Why I recommend these
Durable and versatile
Lively and energetic
Great for park and all-mountain
Expert verdict
The K2 Poacher Skis are a dream for park enthusiasts and all-mountain adventurers alike. What I love most is their durability and versatility. Whether you're hitting jumps in the park or cruising down groomers, these skis deliver a lively and energetic feel thanks to their unique core design. The twin tip design makes switch riding a breeze, and the added stability is perfect for those looking to push their limits. While they might not be the best for deep powder or high-speed carving, they shine in almost every other scenario. If you're after a reliable, fun, and playful ski, the Poacher is a fantastic choice.
Videos
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.

If you want a forgiving, playful ski that is just as fun outside the park as it is in the park, these... Read more

Chris Grant owns this product
This ski is one of my favorite park skis I have ever ridden. It is very stable on big landings, and backseat washouts just don’t happen. This ski is snappy with its carbon braided stringers and is very fun to butter and pop. As much energy as you can put into the ski, you get back out making Ollie’s and... Read more

The K2 Poacher is an excellent one ski quiver for anyone who is in the terrain park daily but still wants to be able to keep up with their ski crew on the rest of the mountain. These skis are park/freestyle skis at their core, but they are so much more than that. They are obviously incredible on any terrain... Read more
Ideal for
- Full sidewall makes these super durable and stable
- Very nimble and fun to ski everywhere but especially in the park
- Insanely durable
Not ideal for

- Could have a bit better energy transfer groomers
- Might be too flexible for heavier/advanced high speed skiers

Super sick skis, 1 issue
Originally posted at k2snow.com on May 11, 2018Definitely the best skis I ever had for park. Super poppy and reactive. Although I had an issue (and some of my friends with the same skis): The bindings were popping out of the skis easily, maybe a problem with the core or something, but I had to remount them a few times too much. :(

Erik was great!
5 /5
Erik was very helpful in assisting me to pick out my first pair of skis and ski bindings! I am an intermediate-level skier but have always used rental skis, so when looking to buy my own, I didn't have much of a knowledge-base. Erik was very helpful in answering my questions and with narrowing down which skis would be a good fit for me, taking into consideration my height/weight, skill level, skiing strengths and weaknesses, and price range. Thank you very much, Erik!

This was my first time buying snow sport gear of any kind. Tyler used the information I gave him to give me some really great choices and get me all set up with a board, bindings, and a helmet. He was very responsive to my questions and had recommendations for sizes and settings that I would not have been able to figure out on my own. He was great!

Brandon was awesome! He helped me choose the perfect snowboard gear, a Burton Cartographer with boots and bindings. He made sure everything fit perfectly and even scored me a great deal. Super pumped with my setup, the setup worked perfect for Midwest and East coast riding! Thanks, Brandon!

5 /5
Tyler made great recommendations and really took the time to understand where my skill level is at and where I intend to ski. Ultimately, I was uncomfortable making the investment without trying the skis first, so I ended up buying a pair that I had rented several times and really liked. I had so many questions and came very close to purchasing skis a few months ago but now I that I have nearly finished this season I have a better idea of what I was looking for!

Nico helped me decide what length Atomic Mavens to get and bindings. He helped me decide that these skis will work on East Coast ice and Jackson Hole powder. I wish Curated was sticking around because it's such a great service. My cousin bought skis bindings and boots last year with curated and is stoked.

Tyler helped to reassure me on the board I have been eying, while also suggesting the best options for boots and bindings; he never tried to push the most expensive option, but rather gave me a number of choices to consider for myself (and in fact, recommended a cheaper boot option than the one I went with!). He was a great help and I feel confident that he helped me make a solid purchase.

Additional Board

I was looking at updating my board and was just looking around. After a quick chat with John to narrow down which board to pick, he made it easier than going into a store. He helped out with an additional discount that no other website could beat. Too hard to pass up a great deal, I bought the board and bindings. Cheers to debuting it before the season ends!

She knew exactly what I was looking for...
5 /5
I already knew what skis I was trying to find, based on the conditions I wanted to ski and also based on my skill level. Not only did she recommend the exact skis that I had been looking for, but she also recommended a better set of bindings than the ones I had previously thought were a good fit. I love that she's a neighbor over in VT while I'm in NH, so she knows East Coast (Ice Coast) skiing like I do. I'm so excited for the deal I just landed on brand new 2025 skis, and I have Shannon to thank for helping me narrow down the perfect fit. I'm just so sad to hear this amazing company is closing its doors, but while the deals are good and before they go, I will be recommending them to everyone I know! Thanks again, Shannon! Happy skiing!

Noah helped me tremendously. I kind of knew what I wanted but by asking the right questions, he helped point me in the best direction for my changing skill level and age and kind of terrain I'd be skiing more since moving to a different state. He took everything into account. He gave me choices for each item I wanted---skis, bindings, poles---and put together a perfect curation! I'm super stoked to be able to take advantage of the discounts of course, but I never would've been able to do that or even find such great equipment without Noah's help!
