The K2 SideStash skis help you navigate to the leftover stashes others may have missed. Just don't forget to keep your tips up when you enter the white room.
Generiously proportioned 108mm waists create excellent flotation and easy handling in soft snow, and tough laminate construction adds versatility on variable surfaces
Extremely lightweight aspen and paulownia 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 damp, accurate performance
Held base to base, skis bow apart 5mm at the ski-to-snow contact point at the tip; rocker extends 15cm in from the contact points
5/15 tip 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 setting ski anchors, attaching skins (not included) and building a rescue sled; 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
Designed for 80% soft snow and 20% variable snow
Requires bindings with wide brakes
