All-Terrain Rocker™ Designed for all snow conditions, featuring an elevated tip for variable and soft snow performance and camber underfoot for power, energy, and edge-hold in firmer conditions.
Powder-Specific Tip Design Less Tip-Hook and Catch The widest point of a powder tip is 7cm back from the standard contact point. The design adds stability and predictability while skiing and is less likely to hook or grab in light crusts or variable conditions.
BIO Core Tech Lighter-Weight Renewable Cores For skiers conscious of their caloric and environmental output, our Adventure skis use a blended core of aspen, bamboo, and paulownia. It has consistent density, great strength-to-weight ratio, and fast-growth carbon-sequestration. The result is 15% weight savings over traditional cores and a decreased carbon footprint, reducing our impact on the winter world.
Hybritech Construction Side Model Specific Sidewall and Cap This construction is built into the wider-waisted Side models and combines the accuracy and power performance of a sidewall underfoot with the lightweight and smooth turn initiation of a cap.
Tip and Tail Holes For Backcountry Uses and Skin Attachments. Holes in the tip and tail are not only the attachments points for K2 skins, but they also fit the functional needs of a backcountry skier including the ability to build a rescue sled or construct various ski anchors. The holes are equipped with removable plugs.
Flat Tails Functional Backcountry Anchors All Adventure skis come with flat tails, providing backcountry utility by allowing you to plunge the tails easily into firm snow.
SnoPhobic Top-Sheets Back Model Specific Snow-Shedding Top-Sheet Snow collecting on a ski can add weight to a climb. Our SnoPhobic tops keep you light with a new snow-repellent topsheet. The running surface along the bottom of a ski is hydrophobic by design, so we’ve developed a thinner version of the same material to use on the BackSide model-specific topsheets. Applying wax to the topsheet increases its snow-shedding performance.
Skin Clip Arc For a Secure Skin The tails of our Adventure skis are designed with a concave notch to ensure that the skin clip, regardless of size or skin brand, stays securely centered on the tail.
Baseline All SIDE skis and most BACK models come with varying degrees of shovel rocker and normal cambered tails. While Powder Rocker accentuates the float in softer snow, All-Terrain Rocker improves the agility of big skis, enabling them to initiate quickly and to easily adjust the turn shape, and Speed Rocker makes the skis even more nimble on firmer conditions. A cambered flat tail makes it easy to scrub speed in powder, and increases versatility and accuracy in hard snow.
