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

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.

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 performance. 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.

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 re-gion still exists to ensure edge-hold on 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 traditional contact point.

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 Baseline profiles have differing amounts of Rocker, they 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.

K2 Baseline™ Profiles blend the ease of rocker with the control of camber.

Skis engineered for resort based, in-bounds skiing. Skis in the All-Mountain category encounter the broadest range of snow conditions. To cover such a diverse range of conditions and skier types, All-Mountain skis include technologies and binding systems designed to quiet the ride and maximize control. Each ski is designed with the “perfect turn” in mind, so the construction, shape, and profile is specifically engineered to match the skier type and condition. The result is more perfect turns with less effort every time you hit the slopes.

Skis built as fully functional twin tips for the resort and big mountain. These bi-directional tools are designed with specific terrain, function, attitude, and image in mind. If you find yourself charging big mountain lines, hitting backcountry kickers, shredding the natural features inbounds, dialing in your ultimate comp run, hiking the pipe, or taking on the burliest urban rail, our athletes have designed a specific twin tip tool for you. At K2, the athletes push the development agenda of our product to ensure that K2 continues to lead with innovative designs and technologies that improve performance and durability wherever you ride.

Skis created for kids who look at the resort as their playground. No mountain is too big, and no skier is too small for this category. If you find your little ripper frequently in the park, the powder, skiing the double blacks, blues or even just riding the magic carpet on the bunny run, we have a product designed to fit their needs. These skis have specific youth inspired shapes and integrated binding systems to make skiing easier and more enjoyable regardless of experience or ability. The Groms series is dedicated to supporting the next generation of skiers and ensuring they have the right tools (just like their parents) to ski all over the mountain.

Skis designed for those who ski off piste. Whether it’s just off the side of the trail, a secret stash in bounds, a short hike to get above the lifts, a tour into the backcountry, or if you’re lucky enough, a sled, cat, or heli drop to the most remote spots, the adventure category is for you. Alpine binding, telemark, or AT setup, the adventure category of skis works for all disciplines from the most serious alpine touring skier to the big mountain powder ripper. These skis come in a variety of widths, weights, and constructions designed to make your mountain bigger (no matter how small).

Sidewall Construction Unlike cap construction, the contents of a sidewall-constructed ski are sealed and protected by vertical material on the edges of the ski. Extra sidewall material is placed directly above the edge of the ski for additional strength and support. Due to the vertical nature of the construction process, sidewall construction provides extremely high transmission of power and pop.

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.

BioFlex CoreAll of our women’s skis use a combination of aspen, paulownia, and bamboo in a unique core known as BioFlex, a process where a dense aspen core underfoot is fused with lightweight paulownia at the tip and tail to reduce swing-weight. With the Alliance’s involvement, K2 developed this technology specifically for women: lightweight and easy to maneuver, yet sturdy and high-performance.

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 damping, consistent with metal laminate construction.

Forward Shifted SidecutsOur women’s skis are built with the sidecut shifted two centimeters forward relative to that of a men’s ski. This accommodates the anatomical fact that the center of mass for a woman is generally much lower than that of a man. Shifting the sidecut forward places the skiers center of mass in an optimum position over the ski for more control and easier turn initiation.

WOMEn’S SPECiFiC TEChnOLOGy

Wood Cores 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 that is incredibly strong and lightweight. A softer wood, bamboo is recognized for being forgiving and lightweight.

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 braid interlocks strands of fiberglass around a milled wood core. Triaxially braided skis are incredibly energetic and responsive, while maintaining a level of ease in both expert and entry level skis.

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.

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.

K2 ConstructionEvery ski in the 2011/12 K2 collection combines tried and true construction with a host of innovative features designed to maximize performance in any snow condition. Features like BASELINE® profiles have redefined how we look at ski construction. yet many of the successful components responsible for the lively and playful feel of a K2 remain at the ‘core’ of every ski we make.

Scheduled for their second major tour this winter, A.M.P. set the industry on fi re last year with hit new releases like Aftershock and

Rictor, as well as Rockering out the entire All-Mountain album. Never before has a rock brand made such a statement, and

thanks to the technical innovation of Baseline profi les, the hits will just keep on coming for A.M.P in the 2011/12 season.

A.M.P. Men’s All-Mountain Performance

Before any A.M.P. ski is brought to market it undergoes a rigorous 9 month on-snow testing process to fi ne tune the performance of every ski in the line. To ensure each A.M.P. Ski is targeted for specifi c ability levels and terrain found at any resort, we have a global test and development team of 5 skiers from all parts of the globe. Each member brings a wealth of knowledge and experience from coaching, teaching and racing backgrounds to ensure we have the most versatile line of resort-focused 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.

The biggest advancements in technology come 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.

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 and increased tip length provide 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.

hybritech 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.

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.

MOD Technology high-Performance Suspension SystemMOD 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.

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

Men’s-Specific MOD Monic Although the precise location of the MOD Monic is consistent between our men’s and women’s models, the measured amount of focused mass is different. The men’s MOD Monic is slightly heavier and X-shaped to further complement the MOD structure form.

Marker/K2 M3

Marker/K2 MX 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.

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.

All K2 women’s skis use a combination of Aspen, Paulownia and Bamboo in a unique core known as BioFlex, a process where a dense Aspen core underfoot is fused with lightweight Paulownia at the tip and tail to reduce swing-weight. For 2011/12, we have developed three variations of the Bioflex core specifically tuned to a target performance:

Marker/K2 ERS System High-Performance Women’s-Specific System The lightweight Marker/K2 ERS (Energy Response System) is used exclusively on the Super Model 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 Women’s-Specific Performance System The all-new 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.

Prison wasn’t as hard as people say it is, and by the time the brand was released in the late 90’s, the industry was ready for

change, and Denver police had all but forgotten about the minor sewer explosion caused by the factory team during the urban

photoshoot gone awry. Always resilient and ever indestructible, The Factory Team has been on a mission ever since and has

vowed to it’s followers to produce the most innovative and game changing twin tips available. Known for their hard charging

techniques, the brand members continue to push the envelope of style, design, and performance, making sure every hit they

have is as pure as the backcountry pow landings they bomb and the parks that they thrash.

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 newRecoil and the MissDemeanor.

TWIN TIP SPECIFIC SKI SHAPES

K2 tip and tail rivet plates were developed for durability but have now been modified to allow the additional option of a pre-cut 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 attachment comes on the HellBent, obSETHed, Kung Fujas, MissDirected and MissBehaved. Never go into the backcountry unprepared. Have the proper training, tools and company with you.

Some select Factory Team skis come with built in inserts. These allow for super fast mounting of the K2/Marker Griffon and new Squire SchizoFrantic binding system without drilling. The increased surface area of the insert rings provide greater resistance to pullout than standard binding screws. The low stand height and weight of the Squire and Griffon Schizo track and cable system makes it ideal for park, backcountry or the entire mountain. The ability to mount once and adjust a full 6cm is where this binding system seperates itself from the rest. Offered on the HellBent, obSETHed, Kung Fujas and Recoil.

The biggest advancement in 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.

FACTORY TEAM

SymmETrICAl TAPEr:A symmetrical ski has a tip width that is identical to it’s tail width. This gives equivilent arcs forward and switch. To maximize performance, the mounting location is in the absolute center of the ski.

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.

Designed primarily for deep snow, this tallest and longest measurement of Rocker benefits our widest powder skis by providing additional lift for enhanced soft snow performance in the tip and a “surfy” feel. A reduced camber region is still present underfoot for a confident edge hold in firmer conditions.

More than ever before, Groms are stepping their skiing up to the next level and starting at even younger ages. For 2011/2012, K2 continues to build skis specifically designed for lightweight rippers. Kids can feel these K2 skis flex properly due to K2’s unique Noodle Technology. Now kids will have even more control and agility whether in the powder, park, or all mountain terrain.

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.

This is most versatile Baseline™ available. This features an elevated tip for variable and soft snow performance and camber under underfoot for power, energy and edgehold for all the firmer conditions.

Designed for developing skiers. This elevated tip and tail assures effortless initiation at slow speeds, stability throughout the turn, and ease of release for added confidence and control on the mountain.

of BackSideBackSide stormed the off piste scene 3 years ago to much fanfare and excitement from adventuresome rockers. Their “off the beaten path” approach has been praised by magazine critics far and wide, and the band of athletes that produces the albums keeps creating hit after hit. 2012 will be no different, and the BackSide crew will release new singles like “Screw That Chopper, i’m Walkin’” and “These Skins Were Made for Climbin’”, which pay tribute to backcountry touring aficionados and sidecountry powder slayers alike. The band’s instruments have been praised for their versatility, due in no small part to Baseline profiles, as well as their ability to accept any binding setup and to double as useful backcountry tools as a tribute to the genre’s functionality.

The “BACK” skis are more backcountry focused–the most efficient skis in the collection. These are characterized by lighter weights and Snophobic cap constructions that help shed snow and maintain lightness.

The “SiDE” skis are geared towards the sidecountry. As such, they are more robust, more powerful, sidewall constructed skis with generally wider surface area and more rocker.

Snow collecting on a ski can add weight to a climb. Our SnoPhobic tops keep you 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-specifi c topsheets. Applying wax to the topsheet increases its snow-shedding performance.

helis, cats, skinning or lifts, Doug Coombs* did it all. The COOMBAck ski is equally versatile, balancing the lightweight attributes of a Back model with the confi dence and performance characterized by many Side models. This is a ski you will fi nd a myriad of bindings on: alpine, tele, super light touring and more descent focused touring. For 11/12 the addition of a Carbon Web creates an added level of responsiveness without increasing weight.

* K2 will donate a percentage of all COOMBAck ski sales to Doug’s family, and another portion of the proceeds will fund the American Mountain Guide Association’s Chad Vanderham Endowment, which is focused on improving guide education and safety.

The WayBack prefers an adventure to a rustic hut over the crowds of busy resorts. A superlight wood core with a Carbon Web makes this adventure ski one of the lightest mid-fats on the market. it excels at long approaches and pays increasingly greater dividends the farther one ventures into the mountains. The All-Terrain shovel rocker combined with the shallow, progressive sidecut makes it ultra-predictable in high-alpine conditions, with the added benefi t of rocker that also makes trail-breaking easier.

The BackLite is designed for the ski tourer focused on effi ciency. Our lightweight wood core has clear weight advantages when climbing, but unlike featherweight rando race skis, it provides more power and precision when skiing frozen corn or diffi cult windblown.

The 11-12 BackUp is the ideal ski mountaineering tool. Built with Speed Rocker™ to take on all snow conditions, the BackUp is equally happy making laps as a resort telemark ski. Two sheets of metal with an ultra-lightweight wood core provide exceptional edgehold, as well as a damp, supple feel typically not commonly found in skis this light. its 82mm waist is narrow enough to excel whether descending refrozen corn or skinning in hard, bony conditions, but wide enough to handle variable snow with ease and predictability.

you know the type: powerful, smooth, playful and confi dent. The SideKick is 108mm at the waist and damn proud of it. And with a booty that big, you expect her to be powerful and confi dent on the deep days. But the girl is quick too. Credit the All-Terrain Rocker™ that’s drawn back towards the binding for her ability to fl oat through the trees with carefree agility. her rare blend of power and nimbleness results in a super friendly, inviting demeanor that’s hard not to like.

if you thought big waists weren’t sexy, think again. The GotBack packs 102mm under her belt and is proud of every millimeter. Though no longer the biggest gal in the neighborhood, the GotBack is clearly the most versatile. Lighter and more playful, she’s just as happy going for long walks in the backcountry as she is painting smooth arcs in an open bowl or dancing through tight trees at the resort. She’s says it’s due to her All-Terrain shovel rocker and Biofl ex core, but I think she’s just being modest.

Tired of the scene at resorts, the TalkBack is happiest when she’s out walking. not sure if it’s the ultralight core and carbon fi ber diet that keeps her waist at a moderate 88mm and allows her to climb with such ease. But it’s clear that her All-Terrain shovel rocker breaks trail easier, and enables her to descend confi dently through diffi cult backcountry snow with the same effortlessness with which she ascends.

With the narrowest waist and curviest sidecut in the women’s Adventure collection, the She’sBack also has the enviable qualities of being the quickest and lightest. Two sheets of metal give her a smooth, supple feel and positive edgehold, and the addition of Speed Rocker™ makes her even more forgiving. She’s also one of those girls who’s equally adept as a playful and agile resort ski, or a pure ski mountaineering tool regardless of whether she’s dropping a knee or locking her stiletto’s.

This girl just wants to walk, and it’s no wonder why. her narrow waist (74mm) gives her solid grip when skinning, and thanks to her triaxial braided core and high carbon fi ber diet she tips the scales at a mere 1200g even though she’s 160cm tall. however, her slight build belies the fact that she’s more solid and confi dent when descending than many of her touring partners. She also tends to be more of a traditionalist, eschewing rocker for that tried and true feeling of full camber.

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 fl exible 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 fl exible or fragile model could be a fatal mistake. So even though our probes are as light as anything you’ll fi nd on the market, we’re most proud of the fact that they’re among the strongest and stiffest available.

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.

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 fl at platform for your stove.

Plush: Glide vs. Traction Our skins feature a new plush material that will confi dently climb a steeper track than any reasonable track setter would make. For this reason, we focused our attention on improving glide effi ciency. The low angle at which our skin fi bers exit the backing material gives our skins a glide coeffi cient 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 effi ciency.

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

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-fi t. 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 fl awlessly 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 refl ects 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 Adjustable 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 fi bers at a 60 degree angle around the outside of the shaft. The external TRIAX fi bers reinforce and control the uni-directional fi bers 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 fi ber 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 fi bers in an orientation of optimal strength and durability.

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 profi le 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 specifi c contour and diameter for best possible fi t and comfort.

this? K2 was fortunate to be invited to La Parva, Valle Nevado, and El Colorado

resorts to get some summertime ‘testing’ on the massive slopes of the Chilean

Andes. Deep into their winter, the BackSide and Factory Teams spent two

sidecountry.To the friends and businesses that helped make this trip possible,
