Break free from the resort and explore the snow covered nirvana beyond the ropes with the K2 Freeloader Splitboard. Its directional, mildly shape is perfect for riding hard in technical terrain, with K2's Combination Camber profile, a slightly setback stance, and a mid-firm flex. This lightweight, backcountry-ready setup comes with Karakoram Ultra Clips, mounting pucks, and hardware. Grab some skins and head for the hills!
Directional Combination Camber – The best of both worlds. By blending both traditional camber and rocker profiles, Combination Camber gives you all the benefits of both; the pop and precision of camber, and the float and predictability of rocker.
Flex Rating – 7 (1 Soft - 5 Stiff)
Paulownia Tour Lite – Up to 500g lighter than an average core to reduce touring fatigue.
ICG 20 Triax Carbon Glass – Integrating tip-to-tail carbon fiber stringers into fiberglass layups ensures a smooth power release in and out of turns while increasing pop, liveliness, and longevity of the snowboard without adding unnecessary rigidity.
Carbon Infused Sintered 5500 Base – Fast, light, and strong. This base is the cream of the crop. By adding carbon to a sintered base, K2 has increased wax retention and decreased drag for a faster, smoother ride.
SnoPhobic Topsheet – Helps eliminate snow buildup while touring up and riding down.
Karakoram Ultra Clips – USA made tip and tail clips for unmatched security.
Riser, Mounting Pucks, and Hardware Included
Splitrack Inserts – K2's Split Track mounting system opens up a whole new dimension for avid split boarders. No longer are stance's limited by stiff pucks, K2's opened it up to allow any desired stance on earth. Freedom to roam.

The Spark R&D Arc ST Splitboard Bindings have improved dramatically over time, with their ST (Smooth Touring) overmolded design making the bindings super quiet and virtually friction free. Now the Spark R&D Arc ST Pro Splitboard Bindings up the ante with Pebax® (a plastic commonly used in AT ski boots) straps, ladders and adjusters, lighter but equally strong 7075 Aluminum heel loops, and re-designed hardware with Hex head and better anchoring at the heel loop.
Hollow Pivot Pins – Made with stainless steel and hollowed out to be 33% lighter than standard pins
Improved ST (Smooth Touring) Mode – Spark injection molds a proprietary thermoplastic over existing aluminum or steel parts in a process called "overmolding," reducing friction and improving durabillity.
ST Whammy Bars – Overmolded plastic blend where the climbing wire meets the baseplate to eliminate stickiness. (Note: not backward compatible with previous Arc, Surge or other older models)
ST Touring Brackets – Overmolded with low-friction proprietary plastic over and through the bracket holes in the aluminum base - strong, smoother pivoting, and lasts 4 times longer than the old brass bushing.
CNC Machined Baseplates – CNC machined baseplates remain solid for max stiffness and durability. All of the baseplate side windows have been partially filled to increase durability and strength
7075 Aluminum Heel Loops – 7075 Aluminum heel loops are thinner and lighter than our standard heel loops while maintaining the required strength.
Pebax® Pillow Line Straps, Ladders and Adjusters – Pebax® is a plastic commonly used in high-end alpine touring ski boots, It is stiff, tough and 20% lighter than the standard material used.
Proven Burton Buckles
Carbon Reinforced Asym Rip 'N' Flip Highbacks – Asymmetrical design features individual left and right highbacks that slope inward matching the rider’s stance / The upper section is flatter for improved lateral mobility / More material at the base for increased longevity and durability / Higher bottom edge won’t snag on boots with crampon welts or soles that wrap high on the heel
Flippin’ FLAD toggles between your forward lean angle and -13° touring position for easy transitions.
Lateral slots for our BD Touring Strap for greater edge control while skinning.
Tool free micro-adjustable from 0° to 22° for complete customization of your forward lean angle
Made with proprietary custom blended materials for improved strength and durability, while minimizing weight.
Requires Pucks for Mounting in Ride Mode – Spark Canted Pucks recommended (available separately)
7075 Aluminum Hardware – A 65% weight savings is found by replacing 7 stainless steel components with 7075 aluminum hardware, custom made in-house

Ever Dry 3.0 DWR – PFC-Free
Ready2climb – The ready2climb skin can be cut to a specific ski in just two minutes without any special tools. The adjustable loop can be fixed to any type of ski.
Grip – Pomoca uses a combination of materials and weaving techniques to combine glide and durability with gripping power. Proper alignment and the fiber attachment systems make Pomoca skins very stable under all conditions and for the life span of the skin.
Glide – This exclusive process gives ski tourers extra glide with less effort. This treatment, applied at the end of the production process and to to entire length of the fiber, makes the skin glide and resist moisture more effectively. Skins with Glide offer an effective process for the entire life of the skin, and unique anti-glopping performance.
Safer Skin Light – Pomoca has succeeded in making it's classic Safer Skin membrane lighter. Thanks to finer layers in the membrane, Safer Skin Light is 12% lighter (150g / m² less). Safer Skin Light makes each pair 60 - 75g lighter, while remaining 100% waterproof and providing slightly less wear resistance.
