have absolutely nothing
to do with designing skis,
So liste n up ! ! Not all skis are K2’s. Sturgis ain’t the Alps & the Alp
Not all motorcycles are Choppers.
s ain’t Sturgis.
Sure, there is a lot that separates the two but having one or the other tells you about the person, who they are, what they’re about and whether you should pass them, stay clear or ride with them. K2 skis, like choppers, come in all shapes and size s and our ‘08-09 line up is a full throttle collecti on of all-mountain skis designed with you in min d. K2 skis are also fully fabricated by hand usin g the same state-of- the-art technologies as wor ld famous chop shops. Both require a team of creative and dedicated people to get them built and mos t importantly you gotta love the rush of cold air in your face and be a little crazy to do either.
That’s exactly why K2 headed to...

With limited time for inspiratio n and a fear of flying, the Apache crew set their sights on designing the first ever Jet Ski as a reflection of the Apache series. Will the design direction for this aggressive theme ski reflect the legendar y versatilit y of the Apache series? How will the crew represen t the ski as the ultimate all mountain wingman ? Which will run out first, the duct tape or the propane? Will the sleek and aggressive design lines that feature the new K2 MX binding system be reflected in the final build? Or will McConke y decide to eject one of the Crist brother’s after a dodgebal l game to blow off steam goes horribly wrong? Everythin g is on the line and the clock is ticking as the ultimate Apache all mountain series is transform ed at superson ic speed.

POLES GRIPS
on
STICKS
Wrap your hands around the leather and chrome and don’t forget to hold on. K2 redefines the look and feel of conventional pole’s and our ‘08-09 line up reflects all the style and performance you expect from K2. Our poles are pretty much the only thing in our line designed to “chop.”
TECHNOLOGY Carbon Fiber
Synthetic fiber with extremely strong, lightweight characteristics. Up to 2.5 times the strength of aluminum at half the weight.
Exo Technology
Developed exclusively by K2, Exo Technology is the controlled process of mechanically stringing carbon fiber strands around the outermost circumference of the pole shaft. Adding carbon fiber in separate layers, rather than in a fiberglass mix, allows for a higher ratio of carbon fiber to glass, translating into the best strength to weight balance possible.
Exo 12 Technology
Highest level of Exo technology available. 12 strings of carbon fiber mechanically applied to length of pole shaft. Provides lightweight benefits of carbon fiber, with durability previously found only in aluminum poles.
Exo 10 Technology
Same controlled application process as Exo12, but constructed with 10 strings of carbon. High strength, lightweight, and a great value.
Composite
Composite construction consisting of 100% synthetic fiberglass.
Aluminum
High strength 6061 aircraft Aluminum seamless tubing shaft for a durable and less expensive alternative to our composite shafts.
Powder Basket
Larger surface area of the Powder Basket allows it to effectively float higher atop deeper snow.
Hard Snow Basket
Smaller, more aerodynamic basket. Lightweight option that is great in any condition.
