Product Info
K2 Pontoon Skis 2011: Inspired by innovative thinker Shane McConkey, the K2 Pontoon Skis have revolutionized the ski industry. Tip and tail rocker combined with a pintail design give it a very “surfy” turn shape, and make it virtually impossible to submerge the tips. Further, it planes immediately and turns on a dime, allowing you to ski tight trees at slow speeds or straight line 60mph powder runs with confidence. As such, it boasts the broadest performance range of any ski K2 has ever known; it can turn an intermediate into a powder addict in one short run, and satiate hard charging skiers like McConkey all season long.
Product Details
Shape
The tapered tail combines with a shape that is designed for those who ski off-piste, these skis are shaped to work for all disciplines from the most serious alpine touring skier to the big mountain powder ripper
Powder Rocker: 50% Camber, 50% Rocker. The powder rocker is designed for deep snow. The tip has the most elevation and longest measurement of rocker and offers skiers a “surfy” feel with enhanced soft-snow performance. The camber region still exists to ensure edge-hold on firmer conditions
Flat/notched tail
Construction
These skis use Torsion Box Cap construction which means they are built by a sophisticated molding process that envelopes the core and internal materials with the top layer of the ski.
Flex
Use: Variable snow: 5%, Soft snow: 95%
The Fir and Aspen core is Triaxial braided which 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. This unique method produces skis with great torsional strength, while maintaining the lively flex patterns of the wood core.

Terrain
Big Mountain Big mountain skis are designed for charging big lines with high speeds and big airs. These skis varry in width from wide, powder-oriented skis for skiing Alaska spines to narrower, mixed condition skis for ripping the beat up headwall at your local mountain. Skis in this category tend to be on the stiffer side, often with more rocker in the tip and less in the tail. Powder These skis are for the deep days. If you like to find powder stashes at your local resort, go on backcountry missions for the freshest of fresh or heli ski trips to BC, powder skis are what you need to stay afloat. Skis in the powder category are wide and most often have some form of rocker or early rise plus a relatively soft flex. Many powder skis today are versatile enough to handle mixed conditions and harder snow.

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Camber/Rocker
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/Rocker skis have the playfulness and float of a rockered ski as well as the added edge hold of a cambered ski. The contact points on skis with this profile are closer towards the middle of the ski than a fully cambered ski, but still not underfoot. The cambered midsection provides a longer effective edge on hardpack, increasing edge hold and stability, while the rockered tip and tail provide floatation in deeper snow and allow the ski to initiate and release from turns easier.
- Core/Laminates: Wood

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.
