High-Performance Park Skis
Poacher/Midnight

K2’s premium park offerings have taken their fair share of podiums, respectively. While they may be sporting some fancy new topsheets, these freestyle skis have withstood the test of time– with roots tracing back to classics like the Missconduct.

There are some slight discrepancies between the men’s Poacher and the women’s Midnight, but those can be chalked up to averaging out size differences. Both of these models slay features, and have the record to prove it.

Sitting at modest sizes underfoot, with a good amount of camber and a rockered twin-tip build- there’s nothing crazy about the design of these park skis. They’re more than capable of sliding rails and stomping landings consistently and predictably, and are no slouch when it comes to hooking your edges into groomers either.

Notable Features

Double Barrel Core (Poacher Only): An aspen core is sandwiched between two fir rails. The aspen keeps weight down while fir adds stability and impact resistance.

Carbon Boost Braid: Normal fiberglass stringers found in K2 park skis are supplemented with carbon, giving the skis even more pop.
