Hop on the expert-level K2 A.M.P. Shockwave skis with bindings and switch seamlessly from hardpack to powder without sacrificing performance.

  • These skis really excel when you're sticking just to the groomers, and if you find yourself going off-piste, they won't disappoint
  • Fir-and-aspen wood core produces a natural flex, allowing the ski to achieve full contact with the snow throughout the turn
  • Torsion box design uses a Triaxial-braided wood core to create a high degree of rebound and performance
  • Triaxial braiding wraps an interlocking fiberglass weave around the wood core providing torsional stiffness, responsive turning and high sensitivity
  • Cap construction envelops the core and internal materials with the top layer of the ski, keeping overall weight light and durability high
  • A shock-absorbent secondary core works as a high-performance damping system, and a precisely placed zinc insert helps further reduce unwanted vibrations
  • 5/15 tip rocker initiates turns easily and offers agile performance, and normal camber underfoot offers responsive power and tenacious edge hold on firm snow
  • Marker M2 11.0 TC integrated binding features a floating toe and fixed heel to generate excellent power, precision and quickness
  • Integrated binding systems allows the skis to flex naturally and fully from tip to tail for smooth turn initiation, hold and release
  • Binding features DIN 3 - 11 release settings
  • K2 suggests using the A.M.P. Shockwave skis for 40% ungroomed and 60% groomed skiing
  • Base or topsheet color may vary from online photo

    Comments about K2 A.M.P. Shockwave Skis with Bindings - Men's - 2010/2011:

    I am a senior with 6 decades of skiing under my belt. I purchased these ski's for the rocker technology which I understood made it easier to carve turns and easier for off piste conditions.
    They have truly delivered. The skis were easy to get used to and have performed way behond my epectations!
