2009-10 K2 Skis Product Copy Ski Categories Adventure Adventure is an entirely new category for K2 in 2009/10. Adventure skis are designed for those skiers who ski off piste. Whether it be just off the side of the trail, a secret stash in bounds, lift access to a high traverse out to your favorite line, a short hike to get above the lifts, a tour into the backcountry to get the goods or, if your lucky enough, a sled, cat, or heli drop to the most remote spots, the adventure category is for you. This category of skis is designed to accommodate any type of binding setup, depending on what the skier wants to do. Alpine binding, telemark or AT setup, the adventure category of skis works for all disciplines from the most serious alpine touring skier to the big mountain powder ripper. These skis come in a variety of widths, weights and constructions designed to make your mountain bigger (no matter how small) and your experience more fun and exhilarating than ever. All-Mountain The term All-Mountain has been loosely used within the ski industry to describe a very wide and diverse range of all terrain skis. At K2 we narrowed down our view to a more focused category of All-Mountain skis that are designed primarily for resort based, in- bounds skiing. If you find yourself needing a ski that can handle a variety of snow conditions that include powder, crud, spring slush, wind affected, granular, man-made, groomers, or rock hard blue ice, these are the skis for you. These skis are specifically designed for men and women with unmatched versatility and performance in mind. Built to excel in just about any terrain that a resort has to offer. Twin-Tips The twin tip segment of the market has been growing steadily over the past 10 years and K2 and its athletes have been at the forefront of this movement since day one. These skis were once considered to be exclusively park oriented skis are now highly specialized for their specific application and function including everything from big mountain lines, backcountry kickers, versatile all-terrain rippers, highly specialized park tools and models to match for women and even the groms. At K2 we have worked tirelessly with our athletes to build fully functional twin tips from backcountry to park with specific designs and technologies that actually improve the performance of our skis in both directions.

BackSide – Designed for Adventure K2 just made your Mountain 50% Bigger by creating the All-New Backside series for your next adventure! Whether you use the lift as a means to access the secret SIDE-stashes at your local mountain or you and your friends start at a trailhead and venture into the BACKcountry, K2 has the right tool for you. Instead of asking whether you are a telemark, alpine or AT skier, we it’s more pertinent to ask: Are you more inclined to flash a 2,000 foot slope in six turns or savor it with a hundred turns? Is uphill speed and efficiency more important than stability on the descent, or are you willing to accept a heavier set-up on the climb, for ultimate downhill performance? Are you typically touring for short distances or weeklong trips? Whichever you chose, there’s a ski in the Backside collection that will satisfy everyone from the lift access backcountry skier to the devoted ski mountaineer, regardless of whether alpine, AT, or telemark bindings are mounted on them. No Mountain Too Small. No Adventure Too Big. The K2 BackSide series would not be complete without a few essentials required for any adventure. New additions to the K2 collection for 09/10 are a K2 touring skin and a unique extendable K2 pole, two pieces of equipment that are fundamental in the BACKcountry, SIDEcountry and anywhere outside the lines. The veteran backcountry skier will appreciate the K2 distinctive skin attachment system, and superb plush and glue. For those skiers who are going out on their first adventure, we’ve simplified our skins designed for the SIDE series skis by laser cutting them so you a get a precise, custom fitted skin right out of the bag with no hassles. If you haven’t taken an adventure on a pair of skins, you should; it will open up an entirely new side of our sport. And if you’re a seasoned mountaineer or backcountry skier, your equipment just got better. BackSide Technology Hybritech Sidewalls Hybritech blends the race room performance of sidewalls underfoot with the ease and forgiveness of cap construction in the tip and tail. Offered exclusively on the Side series, Hybritech makes skis strong, accurate and powerful underfoot, while maintaining smooth initiation and easy exits from turns. Core Tech Our Adventure skis use an Aspen/Paulownia blend core. Lower-density Aspen and even lighter-weight Paulownia allow us to reduce the weight that results from the added surface area of wider skis. In addition, the Bio Core is 15% lighter than the fir/aspen blend traditional in our all-mountain skis.

Tip and Tail Holes All Adventure skis come with holes drilled in the tip and tail that facilitate building a quick, solid rescue sled, or the construction of a ski anchor. The holes come with plugs that can be removed with a simple twist of a flat head screwdriver. These holes also function as skin attachment points for our new skins. Skin Clip Arc The tails of our Adventure skis come with a concave notch to ensure the skin clip, regardless of size, stays securely centered on the tail. Flat Tails All of our Adventure skis come with flat tails because they add tremendous utility to a backcountry ski. By allowing you to easily plunge the tails into firm snow, you can build anchors, stake out your tent, or merely secure your skis while retrieving something from your pack, none of which is possible with twin tips or kick tails. Rocker All SIDE skis, and select BACK models come with varying degrees of shovel rocker, but normal cambered tails. Shovel rocker improves the agility of big skis by enabling them to initiate quickly, and easily adjust turn shape. The normal cambered tail makes it easy to scrub speed in powder, and increases versatility by providing better accuracy and hard snow performance than a fully rockered ski. Powder Specific Tip Design The widest point of this tip is the forward contact point as opposed to 7cm in front of it like most of our shaped skis. This design makes the ski more stable and predictable because it won’t hook or grab erratically in windblown snow and other variable conditions that you’re likely to encounter in the backcountry. Skin Technology Thanks to an innovative attachment system, our new BackSide skins are light weight and have superior glide, which translates to greater efficiency with less fatigue. Z Clip Attachment Quick, simple and lightweight, the Z Clip utilizes the hole in the ski tip and eliminates the skin fold-over required with typical D rings. This not only reduces weight, but gets rid of the buildup of snow that accumulates under the fold, which eventually peels your skins off. Tail Strap Clip This adjustable strap interfaces with the tail hole to secure and register the skin to the center of the ski. Unlike most clips which create friction by dragging in the snow every step, this clip sits on top of the ski, thereby improving glide and efficiency.

DarkSide – Bottomless steep & deep ruler The DarkSide boasts the widest dimensions in our Adventure line, and combined with the Hybritech sidewall construction, it will inspire you to hold the throttle wide open while arcing super G turns down an AK face. However, when the terrain chokes down to a tight couloir, rock garden or steep glade, the normal cambered tail allows you to scrub speed on demand and the 10/20 shovel rocker delivers surprising quickness and agility. Dimensions: 156/128/144 Soft Snow 90% Variable Snow 10% Turn Radius: 25m@174 Weight: 2100g@174cm Construction: Hybritech Sidewall Core: Aspen/Paulownia Sizes: 174, 181, 188 Binding Options: Flat Features: 10/20 Tip Rocker Design, 12/11 Progressive Powder Sidecut, Powder Tip, Tip and Tail Attachment Holes, Flat/Notched tail, Triaxial Braiding SideStash – Adventure inside & outside the lines The ideal ski for trashing the obvious lines and hidden secret Stashes on your hit list regardless of it being a powder day at the resort or week old powder just outside the ropes. The SideStash gets this incredible versatility from the metal laminate Hybritech sidewall construction. It gains the power and precision to confidently blast through the fresh and leftovers from the metal, but at the same time its light weight tip and tail and 5/15 shovel rocker add quickness and agility to handle the tightest steeps, trees and chutes. Dimensions: 139/108/127 Soft Snow 80% Variable Snow 20% Turn Radius: 23m@174 Weight: 2050g@174cm Construction: Hybritech Sidewall Metal Laminate Core: Aspen/Paulownia Sizes: 174, 181, 188 Binding Options: Flat Features: 5/15 Tip Rocker Design, 13/12 Progressive Powder Sidecut, Powder tip, Tip and Tail Attachment Holes, Flat/Notched Tail HardSide – Versatile mountain slayer At 98 mm underfoot, the HardSide is the narrowest ski built with the Hybritech sidewall construction. A few short years ago, it would have been considered a powder ski, and it

certainly won’t disappoint on the deep days. However, it’s designed for skiers who’s off piste playgrounds consist more of cut up crud and firm snow than bottomless powder, so we gave it slight shovel rocker for versatility, and a powerful metal laminate construction for race room precision, stability and edge hold. Dimensions: 131/98/119 Soft Snow 70% Variable Snow 30% Turn Radius: 21m@174 Weight: 1950g@174cm Construction: Hybritech Sidewall Metal Laminate Core: Aspen/Paulownia Sizes: 174, 181, 188 Binding Options: Flat Features: 5/15 Tip Rocker Design, 14/13 Progressive Sidecut, Powder Tip, Tip and Tail Skin Attachment Holes, Flat/Notched Tail Pontoon – No sinking with this Pontoon Like Shane, this McConkey inspired design is in a class by itself. The extra wide shovel and pin tail conspire with full rocker to make it virtually impossible to submerge the tips. Add reverse sidecut in the shovel and tail for unsurpassed predictability, normal sidecut underfoot to get you across the groomers, and you get a ski that provides the confidence to ski as fast as your nerves will allow, and the nimbleness to ski trees so tight that they were previously off limits. Dimensions: 160/130/120 Soft Snow 95% Variable Snow 5% Turn Radius: N/A Weight: 2400g@179cm Construction: Torsion Box Cap Core: Fir/Aspen Sizes: 169, 179, 189 Binding Options: Flat Features: 20/40 Rocker Design, Progressive Powder Sidecut, Powder Tip, Tapered Tail, Triaxial Braiding COOMBAck – A powder ski built for adventurous skiers like Doug Coombs Coombs was the consummate adventure skier. He was equally happy ticking off first descents in the Chugach via helicopter, as he was skinning to the top of Antarctica’s Mt. Vinson. Consequently, he needed skis that delivered solid edge hold and stability at speed, but were also light enough for touring. To accomplish that, K2 retained the powder tip, progressive sidecut and buoyant 102 waist that gave the original Coomba

superior predictability in erratic conditions. Then we added slight shovel rocker to give it quicker initiation and better versatility. We think Doug would be proud. A percentage of all COOMBAck ski sales will be donated to the Coombs family. K2 will also donate a portion of the proceeds to the American Mountain Guide Association’s Chad Vanderham Endowment which is focused on improving guide education and safety.

And the progressive sidecut supplies edgehold and precision in a variety of turn shapes and conditions. Dimensions: 129/92/115 Soft Snow 60% Variable Snow 40% Turn Radius: 19m@174 Weight: 1775g@174cm Construction: Metal Laminate Cap Core: Aspen/Paulownia/Bamboo Sizes: 167, 174, 181 Binding Options: flat Features: 16/14 Progressive Sidecut, Powder Tip, Tip and Tail Attachments Holes, Flat/Notched Tail WayBack – The perfect balance for up and down The WayBack prefers small crowds and rustic huts to busy resorts and grandiose lodges. A super light wood core with an abundance of carbon fiber makes this one of the lightest mid-fats on the market.

Apache – Your complete all-mountain collection for men For crud, powder, groomed, and all the variations in between found at your favorite resort, the Apache series is a collection of All Mountain tools designed to conquer any trail on your hill, in any condition. No two mountains or snow conditions are the same, which is why versatility is key. Every K2 ski in the Apache series is targeted at a specific customer, performance level and snow condition, yet each has an enormous amount of versatility to conquer the entire mountain. In addition, all Apache skis are designed and built with K2/Marker exclusive binding systems that work with the ski to maximize the power transfer between the skier and snow. Apache All-Mountain Technology Men’s specific MOD Structure The shape of the secondary elastomeric core has been sculpted to distribute mass in ways that ensure the smoothest ride. Overall the MOD is thickest toward the center of the ski to insulate the skier from vibrations and tapers toward the tip and tail to minimize swing weight making the skis easier to maneuver. The optimum location and thickness of mass differs from men to women reflected in the different MOD shapes for our Apache and T:Nine series of skis. The men’s MOD structure distributes the mass of the secondary core increasing torsional rigidity through its X shape MOD design and perimeter mass for increased edge hold. Men’s specific MOD Monic Although the precise location of the MOD Monic’s strategic mass dampening is consistent between our men and women’s models, the amount of focused mass is different. Through extensive testing with members of our ATD, we have determined the optimal MOD Monic mass on our Apache series that helps dampen vibrations for a smoother ride. The redesigned men’s MOD Monic also has a new X shape that further compliments the X shaped MOD structure. K2/MX System High Performance K2 Ski/Marker Binding System This binding system offers the most direct transmission of power to the ski for unmatched precision and control used exclusively on our high end Apache skis. The K2/MX maximizes the performance of the ski/binding interaction by offering a wider contact to ski for the best delivery of power to the edge. The K2/MX does this in three ways. First, the MX system uses Marker’s Inter-Pivot Heel technology that has a wider footprint extending its contact point closer to the edge of the ski. Second, the system hubs are functionally wider with a 50mm footprint which further decreases the distance between the binding and the edge of the ski for added performance. Finally, the MX system has

Page 11: 2009-10 K2 Skis Product Copy Ski Categories · 2009-08-28 · 2009-10 K2 Skis Product Copy Ski Categories Adventure Adventure is an entirely new category for K2 in 2009/10. Adventure

tighter tolerances between the binding and the surface of the secondary ski core for a more precise feel. The K2/MX system uses a Marker Biometric toe in combination with the inter pivot heel. This toe provides the additional backward releasing safety benefits that are adjusted in conjunction with the DIN setting. The Biometric toe also includes a stainless steel AFD in conjunction with a 4 linkage design for increased centered performance and safety. K2/M2 System Performance K2 Ski/Plate/Marker Binding System The K2/M2 is the ultimate ski/plate/binding system designed for performance and recreational skiers. It utilizes a new Two Linkage Toe and a fixed Compact2 Heel design to generate more power, precision and quickness underfoot. The K2/M2 systems’ sleek design is graphically integrated into the look of the Apache series skis. Catch Free Technology A brand new camber design that slightly raises the standard contact points off the snow for easier transition between turns for an entry level skier. A ski with this technology makes it easier to swivel the ski from left to right without the tip or tail catching on the surface of the snow. This technology is used exclusively in our Men’s and Women’s entry level skis as a learning tool to introduce skiers to the ease of getting down the mountain and quickly teaches newer skiers how to ride an edge without catching one first. Xplorer – The highest performance tool to explore and conquer any condition The Xplorer made its debut in the Apache series last year and because of its versatility became an immediate success. Being the widest ski in the Apache line gives it an advantage in soft snow to help you track out the resort on those deep powder days but enough sidecut to lay down trenches across the corduroy on those groomer days as well. The broad range of versatility and high performance comes from a unique combination of an 84mm waist, metal laminate cap construction and generous 17/16 progressive sidecut that allows it to perform well on both soft and hard conditions. Dimensions: 128/84/112 Ungroomed 60% Groomed 40% Turn Radius: 17m@177 Construction: Metal Laminate Cap Core: Fir/Aspen Sizes: 170, 177, 184 Binding Options: K2/MX 12.0 Features: 17/16 Progressive Sidecut, MOD Monic, MOD Technology

Recon – The most versatile high performance tool Tested and proven time and time again as the ultimate high performance ski for all conditions. The Recon fits right in between the Crossfire and Xplorer in the line with its 78 mm waist width making it the ultimate 50/50 ski for expert skiers. The Recon blends the perfect amount of waist and tip width creating a platform that floats in softer snow and crud and combines a generous sidecut for hard snow performance.

T:Nine – All-Mountain Series for women women’s market is due in no K2’s impact on the women’s market is due in no small part to the K2 Alliance’s level of involvement in every aspect of the collection including on-hill testing, graphics, and marketing. This unique group of women from different backgrounds and ages has created a collection of both high performance and recreational All Mountain skis for female skiers everywhere. Versatility is the key ingredient in an all mountain ski, and every T:Nine skis in the collection has plenty of it. The introduction of the state of the art K2/Marker ERS and ERP systems are the industries first women’s specific bindings which maximize the performance of all T:Nine skis in 2009/10. Aside from technical superiority, this years’ peacock inspired graphic designs came to fruition after the red wine started flowing at a post ski test debrief with our women’s crew As shown by the pink ribbon on their bases, K2 Sports is proud to donate to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation on behalf of Ski, Skate and Snowboards. K2 is focused on improving women’s health through recreation and sports, and with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation partnership, K2 is also putting some much-needed money into improving women’s quality of life. K2 has donated over $1,000,000 to this great cause and other breast cancer research organizations worldwide. T:Nine Technology Bioflex Core Working with the Alliance Team to further develop our line of women’s specific skis has lead to the Bioflex core, a breakthrough multi-wood core technology. Used on our T:Nine series of skis, the combination of two distinctly different woods, fir and spruce, provides a blend of stability and forgiveness in our women’s skis. Not just different layers of wood, but completely different cores fused together at the tip and tail. Spruce, a light, soft wood is used in the extremities of the tip and tail and fir, a more solid, dense wood is used underfoot. The Spruce provides easy turn initiation, lightweight characteristics, and overall ease that T:Nine skis have come to be known for. The Fir underfoot provides a new level of confidence inspiring control, predictability and stability. The 2009/10 core incorporates a bamboo stringer that runs down the center of the entire core for added strength. The beauty of the Bioflex core is that it produces a lighter weight core which translates into skis that are easier to maneuver and causes less fatigue than a comparable men’s size and model. The Bioflex core can also be tuned to the performance level of the ski. The Burnin’ Luv and True Luv both share a Bioflex core, but the flex and performance levels differs dramatically. K2/ERS System High Performance Women’s Specific K2 Ski/Marker Binding System This all new women’s specific K2/ERS (Energy Response System) binding system was developed with Marker and used exclusively on the T:Nine skis. The integrated hubs are

wider than last year for better, more effective power transfer and the hubs are closer together to accommodate a smaller boot sole and maintain smooth flexing of the ski. The women’s specific binding features a smaller feminine aesthetic with a totally new Triple Pivot Comfort Toe and redesigned Twin Cam 2 Heel for ease of entry and exit. One key feature of the new K2/ERS system is its light weight. This new binding is a full pound lighter than the previous M1 binding system. With a floating toe and fixed heel, this non-plated, fully integrated binding system provides women unparalleled quickness, precision, and the ultimate in all mountain performance. With the width of the ERS system it is much easier and quicker to get today’s wide skis up on edge making them perform more like a narrower waisted ski. K2/ERP System Women’s Specific Performance Ski/Plate/Binding System The all new women’s specific K2/ERP (Energy Response Plate) is a ski/ plate/binding designed for advanced and recreational skiers alike. The ERP is shorter making it less stiff resulting in a smoother flexing ski that is a half pound lighter. This system utilizes a Two Linkage Toe and a fixed Compact2 Heel design to generate more power, precision and quickness underfoot. The ERP systems’ sleek design is graphically coordinated into the look of the ski models in the T:Nine series. Green Bamboo and Paulownia stringers are used to add lightweight strength to the ski cores. These wood species are fast growing and locally sourced making them a better renewable choice than traditional cores. Metal Laminate Skis Our women’s skis use a thinner layer of Titanal compared to the Apache line which further reduces the overall weight of our women’s skis while still providing the dampening characteristics produced by a metal laminate ski construction Forward Mounting Position All T:Nine skis are built with the midsole of the ski 2 cm forward relative to the standard midsole point for a men’s ski. This accommodates the anatomical fact that the center of mass for a woman is generally much lower than that of a man. By moving the midsole forward, it places the center of mass of the average woman in the optimum position over the ski, allowing for more control and easier turn initiation. Women’s specific MOD Structure The shape of the MOD structure is sculpted to distribute mass in ways that ensure the smoothest ride. In both men’s and women’s skis the MOD is thickest toward the center of the ski to insulate the skier from vibrations and tapers toward the tip and tail to minimize weight making the skis easier to maneuver. The optimum location and thickness of mass differs from men to women so we introduced different MOD shapes for our T:Nine skis. The aesthetic look of the MOD shape has also been customized with a softened, more shaped appearance that graphically ties into the design of the skis.

Women’s specific MOD Monic Although the location for this targeted mass dampening is consistent between our men’s and women’s models, the amount of focused mass is different between the two lines of skis. Through extensive testing with the members of our Alliance team, we have selected the optimal MOD Monic mass for each model to dampen vibrations and provide a smoother ride. The women’s MOD Monic is designed to accent the overall look without sacrificing function. Lotta Luv – Designed for a whole lotta conditions The addition of the all new women’s specific ERS binding option allows this ski to get a whole lot wider, expanding to 82mm under foot while still keeping the performance characteristics of a narrower waisted ski.

Factory Team – Twin tip skis From remote big mountain heli trips to the make shift rails set up in your own backyard, our Factory Team offering is the most diverse athlete inspired twin tip collection built to date, specifically designed with your attitude and pursuits in mind. It takes a rock solid team of the top Pros in the sport dedicated to advancing the future of skiing to test, create and legitimize our latest innovations and offerings. 12 years ago when we made the Poacher twin tip, skiing was pretty much one directional (unless you consider those hot doggin ballet skiers from the 70’s skiing switch). Within the last decade our athletes have helped inspire and create products that made switch skiing and more importantly switch landings possible, pushing the limits of what can be done on a pair of skis. Skiing continues to progress at light speed, and these K2 athlete inspired products help our team lead the charge Factory Team Technology Twin tip specific ski shapes Unlike other categories in the K2 line, our twin tips are designed to ride forward and switch. As switch skiing rapidly becomes the norm, so does the demand for a product that performs increasingly well in both directions. K2 has developed unique radius and taper angels to maximize the bi-directional performance. Directional Taper Moderately wider tip than tail maximizes directional performance and helps the ski perform optimally in the forward direction. This means the ski makes a different art when skiing switch. Bi-directional Taper The tip is still wider than the tail but the difference between the two is less than a directional ski. This lets the ski perform exceptionally while skiing in the forward direction but allows the skier to gain switch potential. This taper enable the skier to have better and more consistent switch riding that is more similar to the arc and performance in the forward direction. Symmetrical Taper Equal width of tip and tail. This ski is designed to ski forward and switch identically. A symmetrical ski has a switch arc that is equivalent to its forward arc. To maximize performance, the mounting location is in the absolute center of the ski. Twin Tips and Tails When twin tips were first being developed; the tails were designed totally different than the tips. The tails were shorter, lower and often had an abrupt curvature. These tails worked then but as the sport rapidly progresses, skiers are attempting to ski any terrain

backwards and demands have changed. The tails on our newest skis are balanced in the length, height and curvature of our tips for optimal riding in both directions. Sidewall Construction Sidewall skis give the most precise performance with direct transfer of power through the ski. They also offer a level of added durability. These skis have a tendency to be more resistant to impact because the vertical sidewall supports and reinforces the edge from above ABS Sidewalls ABS is a polymeric material used in sidewall construction that primarily functions to protect the core. K2 uses ABS because of its dense characteristics and impact toughness that not only aid in the direct transmission of power but also make it very durable and resistant to moisture. ABSorb – ABS/Urethane Hybrid Sidewalls This horizontal sidewall construction sandwiches a urethane layer in between ABS for shock ABSorption, lessening the impact of harsh landings and blows to the rider. The urethane is only used under foot to maximize the dampening but ABS is used toward the tip and tail to maximize performance and control. 3.5mm Edges Most of our factory series skis come standard with a thicker more durable steel edge to prolong the life of the ski. Normal thickness of edges is around 2.5mm whereas the Factory Series skis’ use a 3.5mm edge to withstand the added abuse. This thicker edge is far more resistant to crackingand grinding for a more durable, longer lasting ski. Tip and Tail Plates and Rivets K2 introduced tip and tail rivets 7 years ago on the Factory Series skis. They were functionally developed for additional protection, reinforcing the tip and tail of the ski against delamination. Although function is still the primary purpose, K2 has evolved the rivets and plates into stylized components. K2 SchizoFrantic Inserts The K2 SchizoFrantic inserts allow for super fast mounting of the new K2/Maker Griffon SchizoFrantic binding system without the need for any drilling. The Schzio binding itself uses the tested and proven Triple Pivot Elite toe and Inter Pivot Heel with an ultra lightweight, low stand height track and cable system that enable you to mount once and adjust a full 6 cm along the ski. The insert patterns allow you to ski at the ‘core center’ mark for the optimal park and switch performance, or all the way back at a more traditional mounting location for powder of softer snow conditions. The increased surface area of the insert rings provides twice the pullout strength of standard binding screws.The new system will be offered on HellBent, obSETHed, Kung Fujas and Extreme skis.

Rocker Design You used to only think about what length of the ski you wanted. Then skis got fatter and shorter. Then even fatter. Then McConkey had some wacky ideas and skis started bending the opposite directions. After a veritable ton of prototypes and input from the team, we brought to market the first fat rockered twin with the HellBent and haven’t looked back since. Rocker design will change the way you look at skis and the mountains forever. It gives you total domination in deep powder, allowing you to plane up to the surface of the snow and stomp landings forward and switch as if you are skiing in the part. Initially designed for pow, we quickly discovered varying levels of Rocker to be highly beneficial and insanely fun in assorted snow conditions as well. Skis with more rocker translate to better floatation with more of a surfy and forgiving feel. Skis with less rocker have a more traditional feel on firmer snow but get the added benefit of floatation in softer snow. We quantify Rocker with three specific characteristics.

1. The region where the rocker is located. Tip Rocker allows the ski to plane up easier for floatation. Rocker in the tail works the exact same way while skiing switch. When skiing in a forward direction it also functionally allows the tail of the ski to sit deeper in the snow bringing the tip up easier than a traditionally cambered ski. All Factory Team skis with this technology feature both tip and tail rocker.

2. The height (mm) of the rocker off the snow. This measurement is taken at the location of the traditional contact points on the snow for a cambered ski. Rocker height varies per model based on a specific level of soft snow intention for a ski. The more soft snow focused, the more elevation. Raising the tip and tail higher off the snow means less effective running surface on firmer snow.

3. The length (cm) of the rockered region. This length is measured in centimeters from the traditional running surface contact points of a non-rockered ski. Longer length of Rocker makes the ski nimble and agile in soft snow. Conversely, with longer Rocker, you have less effective edge in contact on firm snow, so these skis feel and ski shorter. Longer Rocker shines in the deep stuff, while shorter, shallower Rocker gains versatility on all terrain.

The HellBent is built mainly with soft snow in mind so it has the most in the tip and tail. We call it 20/40 Rocker. The tip and tail are off the snow 20 mm up and 40 cm in from the ends of the ski for maximum float. The ski is flat underfoot with zero camber. The obSETHed has a Tip and Tail 10/20 Rocker. Tip and tail sit 10 mm off the snow and the ski contacts snow 20 cm in from the tip while sitting flat. The traditional camber underfoot gives the ski better versatility in all different snow conditions, especially firmer snow. The MissBehaved and Kung Fujas have Tip and Tail 5/30 Rocker. 5 mm up, 30 cm in. This gives the skis increased advantage in pow and crud over their traditional counterparts. Camber underfoot ensures adaptability on all terrain.

Pep Fujas wanted a ski to charge every type of terrain and he worked with us to develop a ski that was wide enough to float and endure lines in the backcountry, yet nimble and poppy enough to shred the park. He added a new 5/30 mini-rocker to the tip and tail to enhance it’s performance in soft snow, and bi-directional taper for better switch carving. The result is the the only ski that is truly a quiver of one. Believe in the teachings of the Kung Fujas.
