The Poacher is the go-to ski for the K2 Factory Team, equally at home on huge features as gnarly street tests. 96mm underfoot is the kind of width that suits a variety of terrain, matched by a construction that mixes enough flex for the park and a stiffness that works all mountain.The All Terrain Rocker Twin shape suits the 96mm waist and construction. Camber underfoot helps with the pop in the park and adds grip on firm snow; gradual rockers at the tip and tail ease butters and smooth initiation and release, giving the ski the right blend of control and looseness. The Double Barrel core construction uses a dense, tough fir core over the edges for power and impact resistance, with a lighter aspen centre for a lively energetic feel. Carbon Boost Braid adds longitudinal carbon stringers woven in to the Triaxial Braid for better rebound; Twintech sidewalls increase durability, resisting damage from rails and ski-to-ski contact.Point them straight on the groomers and when its time to turn the Poacher has the kind of grip that similar skis cant match, plus it has the power to deal with trickier conditions. But this isnt just stiff all mountain ski with a twin shape, its the real deal in the park with the flex dialled so that it feels soft enough to press, butter and have fun on. It is one of the very best do-it-all freestyle skis that is genuinely comfortable in all terrain or skiing styles.
