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

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 don't know much when it comes to snowboard gear and I was really hesitant to to pick out a few specific boards to try and decide between, but josh gave me a Hollar and was able to help me not only give me boards to decide between, but gave me recommendations between all the gear I will need. Josh is absolutely fantastic and deserves a raise.

5 /5
Been looking to get some skis for a long time and I was hesitant to pull the trigger. Eventually, my new company offered me a wellness credit that included fitness and ski reimbursement. I came back to Curated and Jonathan updated my curation for me. Great experience as he was super knowledgeable and friendly.

GREAT all-around experience. Very helpful in helping me determine which route to go for a new board...after snowboarding for 30 years now. Austin was quick to respond throughout the numerous chat messages and he was very knowledgeable in helping me determine what board would accomplish what I was looking for. Thank you, Austin and Curated! Will definitely consider you guys again in the future.

Give Aimee more money!!!
5 /5
I have never heard of curated until I searched it up for the first time and had no idea that they match you with a REAL expert with years of experience. My experience with Aimee was fantastic and i’m not lying for the review. She was very helpful and friendly as I am new to all of it. We came to a conclusion about gear and prices and it all fit perfectly for me. I definitly hope more people get matched with her as she was a great help. Thanks again and I appreciate the great advice.

I had spent time and narrowed down my preferences, hopped on curated and Chris sent me a message almost instantly and he only ever took him a few minutes to respond. He provided me a variety of options that fit exactly with the preferences I had. He was kind and helped me find my perfect first set up within just a day and a half of messaging. He made the purchasing process a breeze, I will be recommending him and Curated to others.

I love that Curated puts you in touch with a real expert. I filled out the profile, quickly heard from Sarah and had a personalized list of snowboards to choose from. Having researched the boards, I found Sarah's comments and suggestions were spot on with what other riders stated about the recommended boards.

This was my first ever time buying ski’s and look guided me through it like he was a city tour guide. You cannot get a better person than Luke on curated. I was able to text him like he was a friend and ask question about certain skis and he would answer always in a great response quickly.
