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

- Deep pow or soft slush

East coast Shred stick
Originally posted at k2snow.com on Feb 1, 2024This board is unreal. Ive been riding a burton custom 162w for the last decade and finally found the board that matches my riding stlye. If you love ripping groomers, surfing powder stashes, and bobbing through the trees, this is your board. It carves better than I could ever dream of, so surfy, lets you do such nice drawn out carves, the tail is so maneuverable it is effortless. Don't ever stop making this board! Also I chose the 158 and felt it was the perfect size for me at 195 lb 6’3.

I'd been skiing on some ancient secondhand skis that finally bit it last season, and Ethan was a great help in getting me outfitted with new gear for this year! He gave good consideration to my skill level and input, and the reasoning behind his recommendations were easy to understand and much appreciated.

I've ordered from curated before and had a phenomenal experience. I've been looking to upgrade my gear to increase my skills and David helped find the perfect match of what i'm looking for. He answered any and all questions with not just information about the ski's themselves, but personal opinion which I really appreciated. Looking forward to riding this setup this upcoming season.

Working with Kat was great! She made the decision process super easy. She made videos of her recommendations and explained the reason behind each recommendation. It was clear that she has the experience to back up her recommendations, and this made me feel comfortable knowing that I was getting the right equipment. we were able to select a new snowboard, bindings and boots that my wife will be getting for Christmas… Thank you, Kat!

Leo was fantastic!
5 /5
Leo curated the appropriate gear for my needs. He provided 2-4 options of skis, boots, bindings, and poles, which allowed me to choose. He was knowledgeable in comparisons and answering my many questions. He made purchasing gear easy, no pressure, and stress free, which buying the right gear for the right price usually is overwhelming for me. Curated was affordable and better priced then other online competitors, I like the return policy, and Leo's willingness to work with me throughout the process to ensure the best set up of gear. I would definitely recommend Leo and curated! I can't wait for some pow to test out the gear.

Kat was so much fun to talk to, and offered amazing advice. She even gave a video explaining everything she selected and why. Answered my questions, and even watched the items I wanted until I could decide I really wanted them! This was a great experience and I will definitely come back to Kat if I need help in the future.

Better than shopping in a store!
5 /5
I have been looking for skis for this upcoming winter, but honestly, i'm a rookie & had some (alot) of questions. I wanted to learn a little about what gear was recommended to me, and why it was selected- not because I didn't trust it- but, because I like to understand the thought process that goes into it! It's just the way I process things. But, Thomas was patient & happily explained everything to me. I also am horribly inconsistent with my response times, and regardless of when I messaged, he always responded in a matter of minutes. I feel like sometimes when I go shopping in person and someone is helping me, I feel pressured to take their recommendation, and like I have to buy something- so using curated was a lot more appealing to me, and I cannot recommend it enough!
