K2 Sidestash Skis (183 cm) - Dimensions 139 - 108- 127
All-Terrain Rocker™ and a generous waist width combine to create the ultimate, all-around go-getter. The K2 SideStash Skis are the perfect width for on and off-piste, enabling you to still get the best of tight chutes that have been overlooked several days after a storm. Meanwhile, the metal laminate sidewall construction delivers a damp, powerful platform for slicing through the week-old chop in the runout, or laying trenches on the groomers on your way back to the lift.
SHAPE
All-Terrain Rocker™ – Designed for all snow conditions, featuring an elevated tip for variable and soft snow performance and camber underfoot for power, energy, and edgehold in firmer conditions.
Powder Tip – Pulls the widest point of the tip further down the ski, which retains float in soft snow, and also minimizes deflection in adverse snow conditions.
CONSTRUCTION
Aspen/Paulownia/Maple Core – Aspen is known for its inherent strength and durability, while the Paulownia is eco-friendly and lightweight. Maple adds durability and power.
TNC Metal Laminate Construction – Weight reduction is paramount in the BackSide series. The BackSide specific TNC metal laminate lessens weight while providing an accurate and responsive feel.
Hybritech Sidewall Construction – Built into the wider waisted Side models and combines the accuracy and powerful performance of a sidewall underfoot with the lightweight and smooth turn initiation feeling of a cap.
SIDECUT
Progressive Sidecut – A combination of two different radii that enhance the versatility of wider-waist skis guaranteeing improved turn initiation and hard-snow performance
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Tip/Tail Hardware – Vastly increases the skis’ utility: By allowing you to build a rescue sled or construct various ski anchors, you can carry less weight while increasing your safety margin. These holes also function as attachment points for K2 Pre-Cut Skins and come with a removable plug.
Skin Clip Arc – The tails are designed with a concave notch to ensure that the skin clip, regardless of size or skin brand, stays securely centered on the tail.
