Catch Free Rocker
ROCKER: Easy initiation, versatility, agility
CAMBER: Control, edge-hold, rebound
This elevated tip and tail assures effortless initiation at slow speeds, stability throughout the turn, and a predictable release from the turn.
Simply put, Catch-free Rocker provides confidence, control, and ease for developing skiers. -
Grom Approved Noodle Technology
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 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. -
Wood Cores
At K2, we use a variety of woods in our cores to achieve the energy, rebound, and life you come to expect from a K2 ski. Fir and aspen, both solid and dense woods, are known for their inherent strength and durability. Paulownia is an eco-friendly, fast-growing renewable wood also acknowledged for its strength and lightweight characteristics. A softer wood, spruce is recognized for being forgiving and lightweight. -
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. -
Torsion Box Technology
Torsion Box construction is the foundation for the widest range of skis designed by K2. Depending on the dimensions of a ski, and the amount of flex and torsion designed into it, one model of a Torsion Box ski can differ greatly from another. The versatility in the construction enables us to build everything from entry-level through expert skis. While there will be significant differences between a DarkSide and a MissConduct, they do share the common traits of ease, forgiveness, responsiveness, and energy that can be found in all Torsion Box skis. -
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.

Comments about K2 Skis Indy:
This is a great ski for kids who are advanced skiers, or becoming advanced skiers. K2 got the shape right, and it doesn't change from year-to-year (just the tops). Kids can slide/steer and carve turns on these skis. When my 9-year old started skiing double diamonds, we switched to the Bad Seed since it offers better floatation and is a bit stiffer. For intermediates to advance kids who spend most of their time on the frontside, stay with the Indy. The bases and edges are of a high quality, and will last several seasons. Keep these waxed and tuned and they will remain a quality ride for younger brothers and sisters.

Comments about K2 Skis Indy:
My son is 9 years old and has been skiing for 3 years. Each year he grows in height and ability, so we started the new season in November with these skis. He already needs new skis because he keeps growing, but anyway, he adapted to these on his very first run. The skis repond well on groomed runs, and my son loves them. He has started skiing down some of the Black Diamond rated runs for the first time, and the skis do alright. He now has the ability and confidence to try some moguls and small jumps on the freestyle runs. He does sink a bit into the powder, which really slows him down and makes turning difficult. Also, the skis lose some of their grip on the ice and hard packed surfaces, but they do okay on the morning frozen crust. This is a good ski for beginner to intermediate levels, and is even okay for kids willing to start taking it up just a notch.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
