  • Jib Rocker

    Jib Rocker

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

    Featuring an elevated tip and tail with zero camber underfoot, Jib Rocker offers the best blend of playfulness for butters and surface tricks combined with enhanced pop for unmatched ollie power.

    Simply put, Jib Rocker is designed for ollies, butters, and predictable pop.
  • Directional Taper

    Directional Taper

    Moderately wider tip than tail maximizes the skis performance in the forward direction. This means the ski makes a slightly different arc when skiing switch.
  • Plates and Rivets

    Plates and Rivets

    K2 tip and tail rivets have evolved to allow the addition of a pre-cut climbing skin onto the ski for all your backcountry access needs.
  • 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.

        Comments about K2 Skis Press:

        The K2 Press Rocker's are a great ski in the park and ride great on the rest of the mountain. The skis are extremely durable and can handle almost any jump and give you top quality performance. The K2 Press's ski the same at the end of the season as the day you put them on for the first time. The skis are light weight and allow you to do any sort of jib or spin. The skis have great weight distribution which allow you to butter with ease. You probably aren't going to find another ski that preforms like the K2 Press Rockers for the same price. I would highly recommend these skis to anyone who is into riding in the park.
