Tougher than your average backcountry skis, the descent-focused K2 SideStash skis navigate deep powder, slice through crud and blast back down to the lifts.
- K2 recommends using the SideStash skis for 70% soft snow and 20% variable snow
- Generously proportioned 108mm waists create excellent flotation and easy handling in soft snow, and tough laminate construction adds versatility on variable surfaces
- Lightweight aspen, paulownia and maple wood core produces a natural flex, allowing the ski to achieve full contact with the snow throughout the turn
- Metal laminate construction alternates layers of fiberglass and titanium above and below the wood core to provide vibration damping and powerful responsiveness
- Elongated All-Terrain Rocker initiates turns easily and offers agility in the chutes, and normally cambered tails increase speed in powder and enhance maneuverability
- Progressive sidecut has different curve shapes along different parts of the ski—more aggressive in the tip, less aggressive in the tail
- The progressive sidecut results in confident, quick turn initiation and easy release in crud and powder
- Powder tip places the widest point of the ski further back than on other K2 skis, resulting in predictable performance in variable backcountry conditions
- Hybridtech sidewalls blend the performance characteristics of sidewalls with the forgiving flex of cap construction in the tip and tail
- Hybridtech offers responsiveness and power underfoot and maintains smooth initiation and easy exits from turns
- Includes tip and tail holes that facilitate attaching skins (sold separately) and building rescue sleds; remove plugs from skis with a flathead screwdriver
- Flat tails make it easy to set a ski anchor, and notches in tails help skin clips stay centered
- Requires bindings with wide brakes
- Base or topsheet color may vary from online photo
