Product Info
Big, bigger, biggest. Now add 10 millimeters and stand back. POW. The K2 Powabunga Skis tip the Width-O-Meter like no ski before. While not exactly an all-rounder, the Powabunga is surprisingly nimble on the groomed and in tight spaces, making it an excellent tree ski on those über-deep days. What's more, no one will lose sight of you with those day-glo green topsheets and bases. K2 historians take note of the subliminal Hellbent graphics just under the topsheet surface. You know what we're talkin' about, this ski's got roots.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Powder Rocker – High and long rise in the tip and tail to maximize float in softer snow.
Flex
Medium Flex
Shape
Tapered Tip/Tail – A design feature that shifts the contact points with the snow towards the midsole of the ski, reducing deflection in the tip and easing turn release in the tail.
Powder Tip – Designed to be more predictable in soft snow conditions, these tips are designed to strike the perfect balance of maximizing float while reducing tip deflection. These tips are designed with a gentle arc and transition into the sidecut of the ski.
W----I---D---E, fat, immense
Core
Aspen / Paulownia / Bamboo – The solid strength of Aspen and the incomparable lightness of Paulownia, with bamboo stringers for extra pop and flavor.
Laminates
Triaxial Braid – A K2-patented machine interlocks strands of fiberglass around a milled core for pronounced torsional strength, while retaining the lively flex patterns inherent in a wood ski.
Sidewalls
TwinTech Sidewalls – A durable sidewall construction used on twin tip skis that makes the top sheet more to resistant to ski vs. ski impact damage.
Base
Swap Base – K2 maximizes base material usage by alternating the contrasting die cut pieces - your base may be the reverse of what you see pictured.
Additional Features
K2 Skin Grommets – Built in tip and tail attachments for K2 skins give you the lightest and cleanest skin system available.
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Terrain
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.

Tail Type:
Full Twin Tip

Tail Type
Full Twin Tip Desinged to allow you to ski backwards, full twin tips are found primarily on park & pipe skis and freestyle powder skis. More and more, we are seeing twin tips on all-mountain skis of all abilities, as it makes it a little easier to get around, and for the most part does not inhibit forward skiing.
