Product Info
The 2009 K2 Apache Recon is the latest installment in the series; the Godfather II to your Godfather. Just like Coppola, the kind folks at K2 have seen fit to improve an industry standard for the benefit of humankind. The K2 Recon blends the perfect amount of waist and tip width, married with a generous sidecut, to create a platform that gives you exceptional control on firm snow. Its Titanium Laminate Cap makes the Recon Skis powerful, durable and lightweight, while the MOD technology absorbs shock like a luxury vehicle. The ski of choice for the quiver of one.
Product Details
MOD TECHNOLOGY
The ultimate in modern ski design. MOD combines an elastomeric secondary core that works as a high-performance suspension system and mass damper to provide the highest degree of ease, power, forgiveness and performance.
Men’s specific MOD Monic
By embedding the solid 25 gram zinc mass into the Men’s Apache series, test teams found skis had a smoother ride because vibrations were lessened.
Titan Metal Laminate Cap
Metal construction creates a damp and powerful ride. Two sheets of lightweight titanium alloy run the length of the ski, offering K2’s most complex and highest performing constructions. The Titan metal laminate cap consists of alternating fiberglass and titanium above and below the wood core.

Terrain
All-Mountain All-mountain skis are designed to handle anything you throw at them including powder, ice, groomers, steeps, heavy snow, and everything in between, but they aren’t necessarily a master of any one terrain. If you’re only going to own one ski to do it all, this is what you want. All-mountain skis generally have what we call mid-fat waists that range from 80-110 mm.
- Skis: No Bindings

Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

Rocker Type:
Camber
More
Rocker Type
Camber Camber is the traditional profile for skis offering skiers lots of edge hold, especially on harder snow. A cambered ski has a smooth arch underfoot and contact points near the tip and tail when unweighted. Camber skis excel at carving on hard snow; you won’t ever see a ski racer on anything other than cambered skis.

Tail Type:
Flat

Tail Type
Flat This is your traditional tail, designed to have edge contact all the way through the tail, and only designed for skiing forward. This is also preferred for alpine touring, as you can stick the tails of your skis in the snow.
