The K2 Excavator Snowboard is perfect for advanced riders who crave deep powder days and aggressive carving on groomers. It's ideal for those who love tight tree runs and need a board that offers stability across all terrains. If you have larger feet, the wider profile will be a game-changer, allowing you to size down without sacrificing performance. This board is for those who want a fun, surfy ride while still being able to tear up the mountain with precision and power.
Why I recommend these
Excellent powder floatation
Stable carving ability
Volume-shifted design
Versatile all-mountain use
Expert verdict
The K2 Excavator Snowboard is a game-changer for those who love carving deep trenches and floating effortlessly in powder. Its wider profile means you can size down without losing performance, making it perfect for those with larger feet. The board's unique design, featuring Carbon Power Forks™, gives you an energetic boost in turns and spontaneous ollies. While it excels in powder, it's also versatile enough for all-mountain riding. However, beginners might find its advanced features a bit overwhelming. Overall, it's a fantastic choice for experienced riders looking for a playful yet powerful ride.

Named for its intended use, the K2 Excavator specializes in digging deep trenches on groomers and displacing powder after a storm cycle.
Built around a wider perimeter, with a dual radius sidecut, the Excavator is unisex in approach. The Excavator’s wider profile allows riders to size down around 5cm from their usual length without sacrificing performance, and it’s extra width and 20mm taper benefits riders with larger feet, reducing toe drag on deep carves and long traverses.
A combination of a smooth-flexing S1 core and tail to tail ICG™ 10 Biax Glass keeps the Excavator responsive and damp underfoot. We’ve also added our pre-cambered Carbon Power Forks™ to allow for an energy boost in and out of turns and those spontaneous “Slow Sign” ollies. The Excavator is packed with tech to keep you playful and floaty when powder is on the forecast.

The K2 Excavator has quickly become one of my favorites in the quiver. This volume-shifted snowboard is surprisingly daily driver-friendly, as it has versatility pretty much everywhere except the park. This board is designed to be ridden 5-8cm shorter than your typical board. I personally did not size down when I purchased board, and what I have is an absolute... Read more
Ideal for
- Some seeking deep powder days and just as deep groomer trenches
- Advanced freeriders
- The aggressive rider who finds themselves on the groomers, between the trees, and floating on top of pow.
Not ideal for
- Not as playful in pow as other rocker dominant profiles.
- Difficult to size correctly

I was looking for something fun to add to the quiver, and I didn’t realize how much fun I was adding. East Coast excavating some of the worst conditions, and it’s a blast no matter what. Plenty of float even when it looks like the baby board of the quiver. I went down 8cm from my daily ride to keep... Read more
Ideal for
- Downsizing
- Deep pow or soft slush
- Laying into toe and heel side carves
Not ideal for
- Can be a little jumpy in cruddy terrain
- Might turn too quick for some
- Finding the perfect size can be difficult

Quiver killer
Originally posted at k2snow.com on Mar 10, 2025Quiver killer without a doubt. Ive tried out a handful of different boards since the end of last season searching for my new setup(s) mainly for freeriding mixed with groomers, bit of side hit freestyle and park. and all of them felt like they compromised somewhere. This is the first board I've ever ridden that does not feel like a compromise on anything and Ive never felt this confident after riding only a few days on this thing. Hauling ass and carving groomers, great float in powder even at reference stance, stable while plowing through chunder, and poppy and lightweight enough to have a ton of fun on side hits and terrain park. Could not be happier with this board.
I got the 150cm, am 170 lbs w size 10 boot and 5'6".

after finally destroying a 22-23 excavator , i’ve come back for more hehe , First off this board ripss but it rips in a nice controlled manner. even with the wider waist width it turns super fast and tight . i rode a 154 for trees , and steeps and it was perfect although when it got deep (14in+) i had to use more back leg to stay afloat , i’d recommend this board to anyone who’s interested in something that can rip through trees ,groomers(best powder carving board around ) and powder

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.

Great help.

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
5 /5
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!
