The Poacher is K2's answer for skiers looking for a twin tip ski that can mix it up in the terrain park, carve a decent turn on a groomer, and go wiggle through some trees. While a lot of twin tip skis tend to be very soft in terms of flex, the Poacher is actually somewhat stiff, due to an aspen/fir wood core backed up by carbon stringers. This results in a twin tip that feels stable at speed and holds a much stronger edge than most other twin tips. Make no mistake, the Poacher is hardly limited to just the terrain park—this ski arcs a clean turn and is very maneuverable through trees and moguls due to the rockered tip and tail. With a 96 mm waist, it's not the best tool for powder, and if you want an incredibly damp ski for carving high speed turns, there are better options. But for skiers wanting a park ski that isn't just a park ski, look to the Poacher.
