K2 Specialty 2018/19

These two models are two real special models: one is the "244", which is at home on mogul slopes, and the "Fatty", the ultra-short ski. Ultra-short skis already existed in the 70s, always trying to become a trend, the little things are so agile and so easy to transport that they just have to be fun. And the ultra-slim 244 is to 100% on bias and shows itself extremely capable in the hill passages.

Triaxial Braiding

Triaxial Braiding was developed by K2 in 1988 and is still considered the best process for joining fiberglass to a wood core. In this process, a pre-treated wood core is passed through a patented Triaxial Braiding machine, which wraps it with pre-braided fiberglass strands. This unique method produces skis with perfectly tuned torsional stiffness, and a forgiving character, without sacrificing the dynamics and lively flex of the wood core

DuraCap Construction

In this molding process, the topsheet encases the core and internal materials. In general, DuraCap constructions are lighter, live longer and are easier to ride.
