K2 touring skis are high-quality pieces of kit for off-piste use that you can rely on

Thanks to their width, shape and light weight, K2 touring skis are designed to perfectly meet the skier’s needs during both ascents and descents in the backcountry.

K2 touring skis optimised for performance, for the ultimate mountain experience

For this tour, you need a ski that can handle a variety of snow conditions. The ski must perform well in all terrain, whether in waist-deep powder, frozen crust or heavy, wet slush: all of these conditions can occur in a single descent. It is also a great advantage if the ski is lightweight to save energy on the ascent. K2 touring skis offer the right characteristics for the full ski touring experience.

The width of the ski beneath the binding provides the necessary float, whilst the all-terrain rocker ensures that the ski does not dig in, even in sudden patches of hard-packed snow or snow drifts. The ski is tapered at the tip and tail, which compensates for minor errors by the skier and makes the ski forgiving. Sophisticated technologies also make the ski ideal for touring: a carbon mesh construction ensures stability whilst keeping the weight low, and a snow-repellent surface (Snophobic topsheet) ensures that snow sticking to the ski does not weigh it down.

If you’re looking for a ski that’s easy to handle, offers good stability on turns and helps you conserve energy on the ascent thanks to its light weight, a K2 touring ski is an excellent choice. You won’t have to compromise on the hard-earned descent, as the ski also delivers excellent performance.
