K2 Potion Freeride
K2 is the brand among the major ski brands that especially successfully handles the theme of "fun on the mountain", so it is strong in the segments of all-mountain, freeride and touring. The two Potion Freeride models for women provide high stability and good control when skiing in deep snow. The long rocker on the shovel and the low upturn at the end of the ski, in addition to the high-quality construction, ensure these driving characteristics.

Potion 98Ti
All terrain rocker
As the name suggests, this type of rocker from K2 stands for use in all types of terrain. The All-Terrain Rocker™ has a slightly raised shovel for optimum performance in variable and soft snow and enough preload under the binding for plenty of precision and edge grip on icy slopes and hard snow.
Metal laminate
The ski has a lightweight titanium alloy that runs along the entire length of the ski above and below the core. Only the highest quality ski models from K2 are equipped with this most complex structure. Starting from the base, this construction consists of alternating layers of fiberglass and titanium wrapped around the wood core. Metal laminate provides superior damping, stability, torsional stiffness and precise and uncompromising performance for sporty all-mountain skiers.
MOD structure
The technology developed by K2 stands for damping and smoothness. The MOD structure absorbs vibrations and shocks over the entire length of the ski for better edge grip and smoother running. It is a second elastomer core that moves independently of the actual wood core of the ski, so that the bending line or flex of the ski remains unaffected.
Hybritech sidewall
Hybritech is the unique combination of a sidewall and a cap construction. It combines the precision, power and performance of a sidewall under the binding with the lightness and smooth turn initiation of a cap construction.
Skin Grommets
All Adventure Skis have multifunctional holes in the shovel and ski end. In addition to the possibility of attaching skins, the holes serve as attachment points when building rescue sleds or various snow anchors. This saves material and therefore weight and gives additional safety in the terrain.
