The K2 A.M.P. Rictor with bindings are high-performance adventure skis that excel on all aspects of the mountain and in all snow conditions.

These skis work well if you're sticking to the groomed runs, but they are ideal if you find yourself switching between groomed runs and off-piste terrain
Aspen-and-paulownia wood core is inherently strong and durable, and it produces a smooth, natural flex
Metal laminate construction alternates layers of fiberglass and titanium above and below the wood core to provide vibration damping and powerful responsiveness
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
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 in hard snow and easy release in crud and powder
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
MX integrated binding system transfers power directly to the ski for unmatched precision and control during aggressive descents
Lightweight Marker Inter-Pivot heel acts over a wide surface area, transferring power directly to ski's edges for excellent carving performance
Imbedded hubs in the core of the ski are 50mm apart, decreasing the distance between the binding and ski edge to enhance performance
Lightweight toe piece offers excellent contact with boots for today's wide skis, and a short profile enhances flex and backwards release
Stainless-steel anti-friction device allows essential boot movement even if your soles are slightly worn or dirty
Binding features DIN 4 - 12 release settings
K2 suggests using the A.M.P. Rictor skis for 50% ungroomed and 50% groomed skiing

Please note: K2 products can only be shipped to U.S. addresses.

I'm glad I stuck with the K2 brand. These skis quickly made me forget about my old pair and I haven't looked back.

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

I demo'd them at Mammoth and bought them that night. I have worn out my K2 Recons and these are the proscribed replacements. I loved my Recons and these are even better. The new "Rocker" design is slated as making the ski turn easier and that it does. I felt I was using a lot less energy to get them to turn. Conditions were hard packed, then 4 inches of fresh, then post new snow crud and the skis performed great in all those conditions. I did the steeps, trees and groomies and had wonderful control, no chatter and seemed to be going really fast. I did not get the "integrated binding" to reduce the weight, and noticed no performance difference from the demo with the integrated binding and they are much lighter when walking across the parking lot.
