YEARS OF

Serious Fun

K2 started out 50 years ago by two people – who made animal cages - in a garage - on a small island in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. Not high performance alpine equipment made in a mountain village, cages for dogs made on an island. A fitting and eccentric beginning which set the tone for a brand that would remain as unexpected and unconventional as it’s origins for the next half century.

K2 founders and passionate skiers Bill and Don Kirschner (thus the name K-2) could have led a quiet life producing veterinary cages. Instead the brothers Kirschner spat in the face of conventional wisdom and followed their dream to build skis. So they bent steel, shaped cores, applied fiberglass, and through pure commitment, guts and determination built a ski brand out of their garage.

What built the brand then, still exists today. The same degree of commitment, desire, and flat out addiction to skiing and the lifestyle drives K2 and our athletes to keep pushing the limits of our sport. Just as Bill and Don K did 50 years ago, throwing caution to the wind is what we do. Whether it’s developing products that seem a bit far fetched, to not following the status quo in anything, the spirit of K2 will continue to be anything but predictable. Call it predictably unpredictable. What do you expect from a brand that was born in a garage?

It’s been 50 long beautiful years of serious fun that, without you, would not have been possible.

Designed for all ability levels with added versatility and ease in all snow conditions. All-Terrain Rocker features an elevated tip for variable and soft snow performance, as well as camber underfoot for power, energy, and edge-hold in firmer conditions.

Shows cambered and rockered regions of the ski and where the ski contacts the snow. On a rockered ski the new contact point is measured in reference to the tradi-tional contact point of a traditionally cambered ski.

Shows the region of the ski that is in contact with the snow when a skier is standing on the ski. A shorter region in contact with the snow translates into a ski that is easier to initiate in a turn.

Although the 5 Baseline profiles have differing amounts of Rocker, they all engage 100% of their effective edge, between the traditional contact points, once the ski is flexed in a turn. This translates into solid edge hold in the apex of the turn.

Designed for high performance precision and agility on firm snow. This slightly elevated tip and increased tip length provides effort-less initiation and flawless transitions, while camber along the rest of the running surface delivers precision, power, and edge-hold.

Designed to aid developing skiers with confidence, control, and added ease. This elevated tip and tail assures effortless initiation at slow speeds, stability throughout the turn, and a predictable release from the turn.

Jib Rocker is designed for ollies, butters, and predictable perfor-mance. Featuring an elevated tip and tail with zero camber under-foot, Jib Rocker offers the best blend of playfulness for butters and surface tricks combined with enhanced pop for unmatched ollie power.

Powder Rocker is designed for unmatched flotation in deep snow. This tip has the most elevation and longest measurement of Rocker and offers skiers a “surfy” feel with enhanced soft-snow performance. The camber region still exists to ensure edge-hold on firmer conditions.

INTEGRATED HUB TECHNOLOGY Titanal hubs are imbedded into the core of the ski for the most direct transmission of power. The system hubs are functionally wider with a 50mm footprint, which decreases the distance between the binding and the edge of the ski for added performance.

M3 PLATEThe M3 plate is lower, lighter and wider for a more effective transfer of power from the boot to the ski for better control and confidence.

MARKER K2/MX SYSTEM Working in conjunction with the integrated hubs, the Marker K2/MX provides unmatched precision and control on our highest-end A.M.P. models. The system uses Marker’s Inter-Pivot Heel technology and lightweight Triple-Pivot Comfort MX toe. This toe comes with a cross-mounted spring, stainless steel AFD, and backward release function.

HYBRITECH SIDEWALLSHybritech is a unique blend of sidewall and cap constructions. The construction combines the accuracy, power and performance of sidewall underfoot with the lightweight characteristics and smooth turn initiation of cap construction.

The biggest advancement in technology comes in the form of Baseline Technology, the combination of rocker and camber on our All-Mountain skis. The ease of turn initiation combined with the strong secure hold on groomed snow makes it an ideal choice for the entire collection.

All-Terrain Rocker™ Designed for all snow conditions. Features an elevated tip for added performance in variable or soft snow and easier turn initiation, as well as camber underfoot for power, energy, and edge-hold in firm conditions.

Speed Rocker™ Designed for firm snow. This slightly elevated tip provides effortless initiation and flawless transitions between turns, while camber along the rest of the running surface delivers the most precision, power, and edge-hold of any Rocker category.

Catch-Free Rocker™ Designed for developing skiers. This elevated tip and tail assures effortless turn initiation at slow speeds, stability throughout the turn, and ease of release for added confidence and control.

MOD MONIC The Monic is a solid zinc mass that works in conjunction with the Mod structure to focus mass-dampening at a targeted location.

MOD TECHNOLOGY Mod functions by absorbing vibrations and impact loads along the entire ski, providing stronger edge-hold and a higher degree of power and control. Mod is a secondary core that flexes and moves on top of the primary core, allowing the overall ski flex to be unaffected.

MEN’S-SPECIFIC MOD STRUCTUREThe optimum location and thickness of mass differs from men to women. The men’s Mod structure is more X-shaped, distributing mass to the perimeter for increased edge-hold. The thickest part of the Mod structure in the fore body includes a new technology window.

METAL LAMINATE Built with two sheets of lightweight Titanal running the length of the ski, metal-laminate skis are the highest performing and most complex construction available from K2. Built from the base up, a metal laminate construction consists of alternating layers of fiberglass and Titanal above and below the wood core. Metal-laminates provide dampened, accurate, unshakable performance ideal for expert-level skiers.

MARKER K2/M3 SYSTEM The Marker K2/M3 is the ultimate ski/plate/binding system designed for recreational skiers. It utilizes a new Compact Toe and a fixed Compact2 Heel design to generate more power, precision and quickness underfoot in a 20% lighter design. The Marker K2/M3 system’s sleek design is graphically integrated into the look of the A.M.P. Series skis.

CARBON WEBEnveloping the Mod structure with a carbon weave where the strands of carbon are laid at precise angles for an additional level of torsional rigidity on the secondary core. This keeps the ski light but gives you the additional torsional strength where you need it most.

GLASS WEBEnveloping the Mod structure in a secondary glass weave for additional torsional rigidity provides a more forgiving and versatile version of the Carbon Web.

Until RoX, high performance hard snow skis were designed stiff and robust for unshakable hold on the firmest snow conditions. Consequently, the additional stiffness results in a ski that is unforgiving and difficult to initiate into a turn.

By focusing specifically on advantages of Speed Rocker in combination with a specific MOD shape and Carbon Web placement, K2 has developed RoX Technology, a new standard for hard snow ski design creating skis with unshakable hold on the firmest conditions with the added benefit of effortless turn initiation.

CORE: STRENGTH AND STRUCTUREA K2 ski is designed with a primary core and structural layers that determines the flex along the entire length of the ski.

MOD: SUSPENSIONAdded on top of the ski’s primary core is a secondary core, called the MOD Structure that essentially acts on its own as a suspension system quieting the ride of the ski. The key is that this secondary core acts independently from the primary core, so it does not affect the overall flex of the ski.

CARBON WEB: INCREASED EDGE HOLDA raised X-shaped pattern has been added to specific regions of the MOD structure to create a structural shape to support a Carbon Web. This X-shaped carbon support is furthest from the core to increase torsional rigidity for greater edge hold and grip. This X-shaped carbon layer works independently of the primary core so the overall longitudinal flex is unchanged.

SPEED ROCKER: EFFORTLESS INITIATION AND ACCURACYThe final addition of Speed Rocker makes a ski with this much torsion effortless and accurate from turn to turn. Without Speed Rocker, a ski with this much torsional rigidity strength would be nearly impossible to initiate into a turn.

BIO CORE TECH Lighter-Weight Renewable Cores For skiers conscious of their caloric and environmental output, our Adventure skis use a blended core of aspen, bamboo, and paulownia. This results in a 15% weight savings over traditional cores and a decreased carbon footprint, reducing our impact on the winter world.

Lightweight Torsional RigidityCarbon Web pushes the balance between weight and strength gaining downhill performance without adding additional mass. Located in the tail and forebody of the ski, the Carbon Web increases edge grip when you need it most in the backcountry.

TNC CONSTRUCTION Lightweight Metal Construction Weight reduction is paramount in the BackSide model line. We’ve tooled a BackSide specific TNC Metal Laminate Constuction that lessens weight while providing an accurate and responsive feel.

Side Model Specific Sidewall and Cap This construction is built into the wider-waisted Side models and combines the accuracy and powerful performance of a sidewall underfoot with the light weight and smooth turn initiation feeling of a cap.

SNOPHOBIC TOPSHEET

Back Model Specific Snow-Shedding TopsheetSnow collecting on a ski can add weight to a climb. Our SnoPhobic tops keep your skis light with a new snow-repellent topsheet. The running surface along the bottom of a ski is hydrophobic by design, so we’ve developed a thinner version of the same material to use on the Back model-specific topsheets. Applying wax to the topsheet increases its snow-shedding performance.

The addition of rocker eliminates the need for increased surface area in the tip to create lift and initiate float. K2’s Powder Tip design pulled the widest point of the tip further down the ski, which retains float in soft snow, and also minimizes deflection in adverse snow conditions.

For Secure Skin AttachmentThe tails of our Adventure skis are designed with a concave notch to ensure that the skin clip, regardless of size or skin brand, stays securely centered on the tail.

FLAT TAILS Functional Backcountry Anchors All Adventure skis come with flat tails, providing backcountry utility by allowing you to plunge the tails easily into firm snow.

Backcountry Utility and Skin AttachmentAll Adventure skis come with tip/tail holes that vastly increase the skis’ utility. By allowing you to build a rescue sled or construct various ski anchors, you can carry less weight while increasing your safety margin. These holes also function as attachment points for our skins and come with a removable plug.

Seth continues to evolve as a skier, and the SideSeth—along with its new home in the BackSide collection—reflects his recent focus on more technical big mountain skiing. Though soft snow focused, a stiffer tail with slightly less rocker improves hard snow performance, and transforms the SideSeth into a more versatile, hard-charging plank that’s specialized for big mountain skiing. The slightly raised kick tail retains versatility and forgiveness in narrow, concave couloirs, while it also increases the ski’s utility as a tool.

“I was always scared of Chamonix. The reputation, all the deaths. There’s way more ice, twice the vertical, and way more danger. I mostly ski pow and soft snow, but in Cham, because of avy hazard, you tend to ski the big committing lines when they’re hardpack, so it feels much steeper than Alaska. You can’t fall. Chamonix is intimidating,

but after a while, it just settles in that that’s how it is and you get

comfortable with it. After skiing there, everything else seems

easy. It turns “mini-golf” into “putt-putt”.

The COOMBAck is the first of a three part graphic series, each celebrating a different era of Doug’s ski career. Coombs cut his teeth on the steep, narrow chutes of Bridger bowl, before moving to Jackson Hole to hone his technique. The 102mm waist and All-Terrain Rocker create a balance between float and agility reflective of Doug’s versatility, and make the COOMBAck equally adept making tram laps or climbing the Ford-Stettner route on the Grand Teton.

The Backup is the most efficient, technical ski mountaineering tool in the collection. Two sheets of metal give it a power and dampness not found in its weight class, and when combined with the 82mm waist, it skins hard, bony terrain with complete confidence. The slight, All-Terrain Rocker aids trail breaking, and takes the edge off sastrugi and other demanding backcountry conditions.

Of course fat skis rip in pow, but they’re also heavier, and therefore a pain to drag around the backcountry. Enter the BackDrop. We started with the superlight construction of the WayBack, fattened the waist to 112mm, and increased the shovel rocker. So whether you’re looking for a lightweight, mid-winter touring ski or a quicker, more playful resort powder slayer, the BackDrop is a willing accomplice.

Unlike other categories in the K2 line, our twin tips are designed to perform both forward and switch. The demand for products that perform increasingly well in both directions is now the norm. K2 has exceeded that challenge by developing unique radius and taper angles to maximize the skis’ bi-directional performance.

This horizontal sidewall construction sandwiches a urethane layer in between ABS for shock ABSorption, lessening the impact of harsh landings to the rider. Urethane is used under foot to maximize the dampening but ABS is used toward the tip and tail to maximize performance and edge control. Featured on the Iron Maiden.

TWIN TIP SPECIFIC SKI SHAPES

K2’s tip and tail rivets were developed for durability but have evolved into rivet plates that allow the additional option of attaching a climbing skin onto the ski. Just screw out the center rivet, attach K2 skins and you’re ready for all your backcountry access needs. The skin attachment comes on the HellBent, Pettitor and Kung Fujas. Never go into the backcountry unprepared. Have the right training, tools and company with you.

Two Factory Team skis come with built in inserts allowing super fast mounting of the K2/Marker Griffon or Squire SchizoFrantic binding systems without drilling. Increased surface area of the insert rings provide greater resistance to pullout than standard binding screws. A low stand height and weight of the Squire and Griffon Schizo track and cable system makes it ideal for park, backcountry and the entire mountain. Mount just once and be able to adjust a full 6cm forward for park. The max DIN 12 Griffon comes on the Kung Fujas and the max DIN 10 Squire comes on the Iron Maiden. The 10.0 FREE binding comes as a value-oriented performance offering on the Sight, Domain and the PRESS.

The biggest continued advancement in technology comes in the form of Baseline Profiles, the combination of rocker and camber on our Factory Team skis. The enhanced versatility, the ease of turn initiation combined with the strong secure hold on groomed snow makes it an ideal choice for nearly the entire line.

SYMMETRICAL TAPER:A symmetrical ski has a tip width identical to it’s tail width. This gives equivilent arcs forward and switch. To maximize performance, the only mounting location is the absolute center of the ski. The DOMAIN features symmetrical taper.

DIRECTIONAL TAPER:Moderately wider tip than tail maximizes the ski’s performance in the forward direction. This means the ski makes a slightly different arc when skiing switch.

BI-DIRECTIONAL TAPER: The tip is still wider but closer in width to the tail. This lets the ski perform exceptionally well while skiing in the forward direction, but the taper enables the skier to have similar switch arcs for better and more consistent switch riding.

Factory Team skis use thick, durable 3.5mm steel edges. They are far more resistant to cracking for a more durable, longer lasting ski.

This Twin Tip specific construction increases the durability of K2 sidewall skis. A traditional sidewall construction produces a 90 degree angle where the top material and sidewall meet. The Twin Tech construction actually rolls the top material into the sidewall reducing the angle that is prone to abuse, severely reducing ski to ski impact damage. 51

The original undisputed beast is back and continues to reign the powder skiing underworld. There is no question that the HellBent is the ultimate ski for floating and tricking through bottomless zones, but it’s no longer content with just ruling the deep- the HellBent carries enough camber underfoot to make the whole mountain your playground, even after the resort is tracked out. Don’t like tracks? Add on K2’s pre-cut Climbing Skins for further access to deep snow undertakings.

K2 is honored to unveil Sean Pettit’s first pro model ski, designed specifically to fit his needs as a skier. With almost half his life already devoted to being a pro, Sean has followed in the footsteps of other K2 teammates and redefined the art of skiing and tricking large-scale lines. Now it is Sean’s turn to lead the next evolution of big mountain freeskiing with the development of a ski all his own: The Pettitor. This Pettitor’s habitat is in big mountain powder. It has a keen eye for natural takeoffs and is built stiffer than any other ski in the line for high-speed stability and soaring into stomped landings off oversized cliff bands. Sean also brought the contact points closer together for a more playful ski with reduced swing weight and maneuverability when hunting smaller game in the trees. The tip and tail Powder Rocker preys on deep and variable snow while the 120mm waist not only provides excellent floatation, but also delivers daily versatility thanks to adequate camber underfoot.

The Noodle Ski System is a totally unique technology for the Groms series. The disadvantage in most junior skis is the stiffness of the overall ski due to the minimum thickness required to retain binding screws. With the Noodle Tech binding system, the plate is actually fused to the ski, requiring no screws, so the thinner core provides a smooth-flexing ski. That means better comfort and control for a junior skier and, ultimately, more fun. The Noodle Ski System is offered on the boy’s Indy ski.

80% Aspen and 20% Paulownia Increased performance, strength, and durability

The biggest advancement in technology comes in the form of Baseline Technology, the combination of rocker and camber on our All-Mountain skis. The ease of turn initiation combined with the strong secure hold on groomed snow makes it an ideal choice for nearly the entire line.

Integrated Hub Technology Titanal hubs are imbedded into the core of the ski for most direct transmission of power. The system hubs are functionally wider with a 50mm footprint, which decreases the distance between the binding and the edge of the ski for added performance.

ERS PlateFor 2012/13 the all new Super Models series gets a new ERS plate that is lighter, lower and wider for a more effective transfer of power to the ski resulting in better control and confidence.

All K2 women’s skis use a combination of Aspen, Paulownia and Bamboo stringer in a unique core known as BioFlex. A strong Aspen core underfoot is fused with lightweight Paulownia towards the tip and tail to reduce swing-weight. In 2012/13, we continue to developed three variations of the Bioflex core specifically tuned to a target performance:

MOD MONIC A Focused Mass-Dampener The Monic is a solid zinc mass that works in conjunction with the Mod structure to focus mass-dampening at a targeted location.

WOMEN’S-SPECIFIC MOD STRUCTURE The optimum location and thickness of mass differs from men to women. The aesthetic look of the Mod shape has also been customized with a svelte and more stylized 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 reduced in our women’s version. The women’s Mod Monic is designed to accent the overall look without sacrificing function.

MARKER K2/ERS SYSTEM The lightweight Marker K2/ERS (Energy Response System) is used exclusively on the SuperModel skis. The integrated hubs are closer together from toe to heel to accommodate a smaller boot sole and maintain smooth flexing of the ski. The women’s-specific binding features a Triple-Pivot Comfort Toe and Twin Cam 2 Heel. The Marker K2/ERS system is a full pound lighter than the previous binding system.

MARKER K2/ER3 SYSTEM The Marker K2/ER3 (Energy Response Plate) is designed for advanced and recreational skiers alike. The ER3 is also shorter and less stiff than the men’s system, allowing the ski flex to be smoother and reducing the weight by more than a half pound. This system utilizes a new 20% lighter Compact Toe and a fixed Compact2 Heel design to generate more power, precision and quickness underfoot.

HYBRITECH SIDEWALLSHybritech is a unique blend of sidewall and cap constructions. The construction combines the accuracy, power and performance of sidewall underfoot with the lightweight characteristics and smooth turn initiation of cap construction.

METAL LAMINATEK2 women’s metal laminate skis are built with a thinner strip of titanal than men’s skis. Proportional to lighter weight women skiers, the thinner layer offers overall weight reduction while still providing expert-level skiers the benefits of performance and dampening, consistent with metal laminate construction.

All-Terrain Rocker™ Designed for all snow conditions. Features an elevated tip for added performance in variable or soft snow and easier turn initiation, as well as camber underfoot for power, energy, and edge-hold in firm conditions.

Speed Rocker™ Designed for firm snow. This slightly elevated tip provides effortless initiation and flawless transitions between turns, while camber along the rest of the running surface delivers the most precision, power, and edge-hold of any Rocker category.

Catch-Free Rocker™ Designed for developing skiers. This elevated tip and tail assures effortless turn initiation at slow speeds, stability throughout the turn, and ease of release for added confidence and control.

The addition of rocker eliminates the need for increased surface area in the tip to create lift and initiate float. K2’s Powder Tip design pulled the widest point of the tip further down the ski, which retains float in soft snow, and also minimizes deflection in adverse snow conditions.

ALL-TERRAIN ROCKER™

Designed for all snow conditions, featuring an elevated tip for variable and soft snow performance and camber underfoot for power, energy, and edgehold in firmer conditions.

SPEED ROCKER™

Designed for firmer snow. This slightly elevated tip and increased tip length provide effortless initiation and improved skinning performance, while camber along the remaining running surface delivers precision, power and edgehold.

Nearly all BackSide models feature camber, straight tails, and a varying degree of shovel rocker. Camber/rocker profiles add predictability in varying snow conditions, while excelling in the specific environment they are designed to ski most.

TNC CONSTRUCTION Lightweight Metal Construction Weight reduction is paramount in the BackSide model line. We’ve tooled a BackSide specific TNC Metal Laminate constuction that reduces weight while providing an accurate and responsive feel.

Lightweight Torsional RigidityCarbon Web pushes the balance between weight and strength gaining downhill performance without adding additional mass. Located in the tail and forebody of the ski, the Carbon Web increases edge grip when you need it most in the backcountry.

Side Model Specific Sidewall and Cap This construction is built into the wider-waisted Side models and combines the accuracy and powerful performance of a sidewall underfoot with the light weight and smooth turn initiation feeling of a cap.

SNOPHOBIC TOPSHEET

Back Model Specific Snow-Shedding TopsheetSnow collecting on a ski can add weight to a climb. Our SnoPhobic tops keep your skis light with a new snow-repellent topsheet. The running surface along the bottom of a ski is hydrophobic by design, so we’ve developed a thinner version of the same material to use on the Back model-specific topsheets. Applying wax to the topsheet increases its snow-shedding performance.

For Secure Skin AttachmentThe tails of our Adventure skis are designed with a concave notch to ensure that the skin clip, regardless of size or skin brand, stays securely centered on the tail.

FLAT TAILS Backcountry FunctionAll Adventure skis come with flat tails, providing backcountry utility by allowing you to plunge the tails easily into firm snow.

Backcountry Utility and Skin AttachmentAll Adventure skis come with tip/tail holes that vastly increase the skis’ utility. By allowing you to build a rescue sled or construct various ski anchors, you can carry less weight while increasing your safety margin. These holes also function as attachment points for our skins and come with a removable plug.

The GotBack has somewhat of a split personality—both of them equally likeable. Mounted with AT bindings, its lightweight cap design and All-Terrain Rocker make a perfect companion for trail breaking and dancing through backcountry glades. But mounted with alpine bindings, it’s equally adept at slicing through cut-up crud at the resort. Think of the GotBack as your two best friends.

The TalkBack is the most efficient backcountry ski in the collection. All-Terrain Rocker with an ultra-light core and an abundance of carbon fiber make ascending effortless. And a moderate 88mm waist provides enough float to track north facing powder all morning and harvest south facing corn on your way back to the car.

The ShesBack features the narrowest waist and curviest sidecut in the Women’s Adventure collection. As a result, it’s not only the quickest , but boasts the best hard snow performance due to the metal laminate construction. The addition of Speed Rocker this year makes initiation effortless and improves trail breaking for tele or AT skiers who choose it as a high performance ski mountaineering tool.

Unlike other categories in the K2 line, our twin tips are designed to perform both forward and switch. The demand for products that perform increasingly well in both directions is now the norm. K2 has exceeded that challenge by developing unique radius and taper angles to maximize the skis’ bi-directional performance.

This horizontal sidewall construction sandwiches a urethane layer in between ABS for shock ABSorption, lessening the impact of harsh landings to the rider. Urethane is used under foot to maximize the dampening but ABS is used toward the tip and tail to maximize performance and edge control. ABSorb is used exclusevly on the MissDemeanor in the Factory Team women’s collection.

TWIN TIP SPECIFIC SKI SHAPES

K2 tip and tail rivet plates were originally developed for durability. Now they have been modified to provide the additional option of attatching a K2 Climbing Skin onto the ski. Simply screw out the center rivet, attach K2 skins and you’re ready for all your backcountry access needs. The skin system comes on the MissDirected and MissBehaved. Never go into the backcountry unprepared. K2 recommends proper training, the right tools and trusted partners.

Some select Women’s Factory Team skis come with the option of the Marker 10.0 Free binding, a lightweight, max DIN 10 system with custom K2 toe and heel graphics.

Continued advancement in K2 ski technology comes in the form of Baseline Profiles, the combination of rocker and camber on our Factory Team skis. The enhanced versatility and ease of turn initiation combined with the strong secure hold on groomed snow makes it an ideal choice for nearly the entire line.

This Twin Tip specific construction increases the durability of sidewall skis. A traditional sidewall construction produces a 90 degree angle where the top material and sidewall meet. The Twin Tech construction actually rolls the top material into the sidewall, reducing the angle that is prone to abuse.

DIRECTIONAL TAPER:Moderately wider tip than tail maximizes the ski’s performance in the forward direction. This means the ski makes a slightly different arc when skiing switch.

BI-DIRECTIONAL TAPER: The tip is still wider but closer in width to the tail. This lets the ski perform exceptionally well while skiing in the forward direction, but the taper enables the skier to have similar switch arcs for better and more consistent switch riding.

Factory Team skis use thick, durable 3.5mm steel edges. They are far more resistant to cracking for a more durable, longer lasting ski.

JIB Rocker Designed for the terrain park, this elevated tip and tail and zero camber underfoot offers the best blend of playfulness for butters and surface tricks combined with increased pop for unmatched ollie power.

ALL-TERRAIN RockerThis is most versatile Baseline available. Featuring an elevated tip and tail for superior variable and soft snow performance and camber underfoot for power, energy and edgehold in firmer conditions.

POWDER RockerDesigned for deep snow, the tip with the most elevation and longest measurement of Rocker offers skiers a “surfy” feel with enhanced soft snow performance. The reduced camber region still exists underfoot to ensure edge hold on firm snow.

All K2 women’s skis use a combination of Aspen and Paulownia wood and Bamboo stringers in a unique core known as BioFlex. A strong Aspen core underfoot is fused with lightweight Paulownia towards the tip and tail to reduce swing-weight. For 2012/13, we continue to develop three variations of the Bioflex core tuned to a specific target performance. The Women’s Factory Team series uses 2 of the 3 core constructions.

80% Aspen and 20% Paulownia Increased performance, strength, and durability

A ski that strikes the perfect balance between a charging powder ski and an all mountain destroyer thanks to its versatile waist width and All-Terrain Rocker. Whether you like to find first-chair freshies, crank through crud, or even harvest spring sidecountry corn, the MissBehaved will behave itself properly in any terrain on the mountain.

The perfect blend of playfulness, floatation and stability for bagging big lines or bouncing off pillows in anything from the driest champagne powder to the heaviest mashed potatoes. Skiers will be impressed by the ski’s lightweight and nimble feel, yet surprised at how well it holds an edge on variable and even firmer snow thanks to its distinct camber underfoot.

Tools For Adventure For 15 years, K2 has driven innovation in the backcountry market, and your trust in our performance and durability has made K2 the leading backcountry ski manufacturer. Now we’re bringing the same innovative focus and attention to detail to the backcountry tools you need to get further out there. And because returning home safely to family and friends is our number one goal for every adventure, we’ve designed our K2 BackSide products to be reliable and multi-functional.

ReliabilityNo one likes carrying a heavy pack, but if you go through the trouble of carrying something to make you safer, make sure it’s not going to fail. Our ski break strength tests exceed industry standards, our probes are among the stiffest and strongest available, and our shovels are big enough to be effective, strong enough to withstand rigorous use, yet among the smallest available when disassembled.

Multi-FunctionalToo much gear can drag you down. Not enough gear can leave you in a precarious situation. Gear that fulfills more than one purpose, like a shovel that transforms your skis into an emergency sled, or skis that can be used as anchors, lets you leave one-dimensional products at home, reduces your pack weight, and increases your safety margin. All of our BackSide products are designed with an eye towards multiple uses.

K2’s All-New BackSide Tools. Rescue Shovel Plus, Avalanche Probe Carbon 300, Avalanche Probe Alu 300, Rescue Shovel, Pilchuck Backcountry Kit, K2 Climbing Skins, LockJaw Carbon/Carbon pole.

Shorter or flexible probes are adequate for collecting snow-pit data and identifying crevasses, and we hope that’s the only time you ever need your probe. But when it’s time to locate a buried avalanche victim, saving a few grams on a shorter, more flexible or fragile model could be a fatal mistake. So even though our probes are as light as anything you’ll find on the market, we’re most proud of the fact that they’re among the strongest and stiffest available.

Rescue Shovel / Rescue Shovel Plus

Pilchuck Kit The Pilchuck is a no-nonsense minimalist pack that’s thin enough to wear while riding lifts, but equipped with all necessary features for short excursions beyond the ropes. The kit comes complete with the Rescue Shovel and the Avalanche Probe Alu 300.

Avalanche Probe Carbon 300 Avalanche Probe Alu 300

You’ll probably use your shovel most for digging snow pits, building tent platforms or even digging out your car. And most shovels will do an adequate job for these tasks. Unfortunately, because avalanche debris sets up so hard, a frighteningly large number of shovels fail when called upon for their most critical function of excavating a buried friend. This is why our shovels are designed for durability and utility. The K2 Rescue Shovel can also construct an emergency sled, build a dead man anchor, or provide a flat platform for your stove.

Plush: Glide vs. Traction Our skins feature a new plush material that will confidently climb a steeper track than any reasonable track setter would make. For this reason, we focused our attention on improving glide efficiency. The low angle at which our skin fibers exit the backing material gives our skins a glide coefficient close to mohair.

These precision cut skins are designed to work with all K2 Backside models and the following Factory Team models: Hellbent, Obsethed, Kung Fujas, MissDirected, and MissBehaved. Choose the skin for your ski model and length.

Available in 125mm width, these come equipped with our patented Z-Clip for use with skis with tip and tail holes. Our Offset Skin Cutter makes trimming skins a quick 5-minute exercise.

The innovative, minimalist design of the Z-Clip provides secure hold, reduced weight, and a quick transition on the ascent. The adjustable tail straps center the skin and sit on top of the ski, eliminating drag and friction for improved glide and efficiency.

Bubble Inclinometer: For quick measurement of slope angle. *Available on the LockJaw Carbon/Carbon, LockJaw Carbon/Alu, and 3-Piece Adjustable models (Patent Pending)

Entire LockJaw Model Line on page 97

Snow Depth Ruler: Allows you to quickly measure ski penetration, boot penetration, or the depth of a snow layer you’re concerned about.

LockJaw Clamp: Revolutionary over-center cam design provides effortless length adjust-ments while delivering greater clamping power and easier release than similar clamps.

Integrated K2 Climbing Skins come pre-cut, or trim-to-fit. A lightweight multi-purpose backcountry tool

BackSide Carbon and LockJaw Aluminum models feature the Geometric Inclinometer graphic for quick slope-angle assessment.

You expect Backcountry poles to adjust flawlessly and not slip, and our patent-pending over-center LockJaw clamp won’t disappoint. But it’s the things you don’t expect from poles that make K2 LockJaw poles uniquely valuable. They provide important information about terrain and snowpack to help you assess avalanche hazard. The inclinometer provides insight about the most critical component of terrain: steepness. And by using the Snow Depth Ruler to measure ski or boot penetration, you can gain clues about the density of the surface snow and how much is available for wind transport. Probing with the handle can also reveal information about the depth, thickness and hardness of various layers. All this data helps you assess whether or not it is safe to ski a particular slope.

Our 2011/12 pole offering reflects the style and

performance you’ve come to expect from every

K2 product. It’s the performance and the details

that set our pole collection apart visually and

functionally from our competitors’. For 2011/12 we

have re-invented our entire line to ensure you have

the best, most functional gear on the hill. So grip

it and rip it.

Party Pole Reverse Adj. SystemThis unique pole length adjustment system uses a smaller diameter shaft for the upper and a larger diameter for the lower (opposite of all other adjustment systems) which is perfect for performance in big mountain and park situations. This design also allows the LockJaw clamp mechanism to be cleverly hidden below the grip when the pole is in short (Park/Pipe) model.

Schizo Binding Location Adjust This new Tool Tip design allows for quick and easy adjustment of the Marker Schizo binding forward and aft on the ski. Allowing for quick and easy adjustments between powder runs and laps in the park, without the need of a tool.

Slope MeterThis new, Patent Pending, design integrates a bubble vial inclinometer into the shaft/grip of the ski pole. This allows for quick accurate slope measurements without having to use an extra tool. Simply point the tip of the pole directly up the fall line and read the measurement below the grip.

TRIAX Carbon Technology Developed exclusively by K2, Triax Technology is the controlled process of winding 100% carbon unidirectional fibers at a 60 degree angle around the outside of the shaft. The external TRIAX fibers reinforce and control the uni-directional fibers of the pole, to create a more durable/Stiff shaft. This allows poles built with Triax Technology to feature a thinner (14mm) shaft that is stiffer and lighter then any pole we have ever produced.

Exo 10 Technology Exo 10 Technology utilizes ten rows of carbon fiber that are applied with a K2 patented composite shaft process. By focusing the carbon only on the exterior of the shaft we create a pole that has the stiffness and response of a carbon shaft with the durability and toughness of a full composite construction.

CompositeA full composite construction created using a patented shaft production process. This unique process aligns all fibers in an orientation of optimal strength and duability.

AluminumThe High-strength 7075 and 6061 aircraft aluminum creates a seamless tubing shaft for a durable alternative to our composite shafts.

Sprout Pole- the pole that growsThis revolutionary pole adjustment creates a pole that grows with a young skier. A twisting adjustment mechanism under the grip also

allows for use of shorter than usual poles when learning new skills, then adding length when the skills are mastered.

New Grips & Straps Design Style & Men’s SeriesThis unique dual injection grip design creates a small profile core that is over molded with a thicker, softer outer layer that allows for a comfortable secure feel. The top of the grip features a dome shaped urethane badge that remains comfortable when top palming the grip. An easy to adjust strap system uses a internal cam lock, that adjusts by simply pulling on the top strap to loosen and pulling on the lower strap tail to tighten. This design also comes in a women’s specific contour and diameter for best possible fit and comfort.
