Product Info
Swiss Guide and owner of Pro Guiding Service, Martin Volken, approached K2 about building a randonnee ski for serious ski mountaineering. It needed to be lightweight for blitzing the routes he was pioneering in Washington's Cascades, but also rock solid for tackling imposing first descents such as Arachnophobia on Spider Mountain. So K2 built him a ski: two sheets of metal, stout flex, lightweight, and extremely versatile.

Terrain
Alpine Touring Also known as backcountry skis, alpine touring (AT) skis are designed for going uphill as well as downhill. These skis are typically light for their width and many feature fittings that accept climbing skins. AT skis vary in width and weight, with the wider heavier versions usually used for winter/deep snow touring and the skinnier, lighter skis usually used for spring/summer/long distance touring.

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.
