  • Powder Rocker

    Powder Rocker

    ROCKER: Easy initiation, versatility, agility
    CAMBER: Control, edge hold, rebound

    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.

    Simply put, Powder Rocker provides unmatched flotation in deep snow.

  • Progressive Sidecut

    Progressive Sidecut

    Progressive sidecut is a combination of two different radii, or sidecuts, that enhance the versatility of wider-waist skis. Standard sidecut theory is based on using a single radius. This works well on narrower skis, but becomes overpowering on wider skis, especially in variable conditions. The use of progressive sidecut on wider-waist skis guarantees improved turn initiation and hard-snow performance.
  • Powder-Specific Tip Design

    Powder-Specific Tip Design

    The widest point of a powder tip is 7cm back from the standard contact point. The design adds stability and predictability while skiing and is less likely to hook or grab in light crusts or variable conditions.
  • BIO Core Tech

    BIO Core Tech

    For backcountry skiers conscious of their caloric and environmental output, our Adventure skis use a blended core of aspen, bamboo, and Paulownia, (a reforestation plantation tree similar to bamboo) that has consistent density, great strength-to-weight ratio, and fast-growth carbon-sequestration. The core is just one component of the ski, but the result is 15% weight savings over our traditional fir/aspen cores and a lessened footprint, reducing the impact of the ski on you and the winter world.
  • Tip and Tail Holes

    Tip and Tail Holes

    Holes in the tip and tail are not only the attachments points for K2 skins, but they also fit the functional needs of a backcountry skier including the ability to build a rescue sled or construct various ski anchors. The holes are equipped with removable plugs.
  • Flat Tails

    Flat Tails

    All Adventure skis come with flat tails, providing backcountry utility by allowing you to plunge the tails easily into firm snow.
  • Skin Clip Arc

    Skin Clip Arc

    The 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.
  • Cap Construction

    Cap Construction

    Durable and lightweight “cap” skis are built by a sophisticated molding process that envelopes the core and internal materials with the top layer of the ski. Used throughout our ski line, cap constructions can be assembled with a variety of different cores. These variations, such as glass and/or metal materials, are the determining factors of the skis’ performance.
  • Triaxial Braiding

    Triaxial Braiding

    Triaxial braiding consists of braiding fiberglass around a wood core to provide torsional rigidity for added control. Developed in 1988 by K2 engineers, the patented triaxial braiding machine interlocks strands of fiberglass around a milled wood core. While flex and torsion vary depending on the wood, Triaxially braided skis share the common traits of ease, forgiveness, responsiveness, and energy in both expert and entry level skis.

      Best used with weight centered, not back.

      God bless Shane and rest his soul, What a great inventor. My Spatculas were great in powder and needed only the added under foot skiability on groomers that Pon2oons have added. Thank you K2.

      Size Chart

      McConkey’s vision continues with the all new K2 Pon2oon Ski in 11/12. Designed with the same philosophy of slaying powder easier, faster and with less effort, the all-new K2 Pon2oon is rockered in the tip and tail and features a redesigned Powder tip and a non twin tip Progressive Powder tail. While this K2 ski has similar pivot performance to its predecessor, it now comes with more predictable turn initiation and added breaking power in the tail. The dimensions on the K2 Pon2oon increase as the ski gets longer in length, maxing out at a whopping 134mm underfoot in the 189cm size.*A percentage of the K2 Pon2oon ski sales will be given to Shane’s family.
