The North Star in the K2 Snowboarding snowboard offering, and the marquee of the Landscape Collection, the Alchemist is a hard-charging, directional freeride board for a skilled rider. Targeted to please the advanced to expert level snowboarder, the Alchemist is packed with functional technology. This snowboard features two unique technologies from the K2 camp; the SpaceGlass™ tip insert and the patented Spectral Braid. SpaceGlass™ is a pre-cured fiberglass insert that helps reduce weight, reduce chatter, and increase edge pressure. Spectral Braid is a technology that allows us to adjust tip-to-tail stiffness independently from the torsional stiffness. This lets us make a torsionally stiffer snowboard in the tip and tail to promote edge hold while keeping it more relaxed between the feet to allow for easy turn initiation.

Designed to ride the entire resort and score an A+ in the turning category, the K2 Almanac snowboard is writing the newest chapter in Volume Shift™ snowboards. Purpose-engineered to be a daily driver, this snowboard takes inspiration from models like the Party Platter and Excavator, and charts its own course.

When choosing the Almanac, you’ll want to size down 5cm, due to it’s wider than average outline (read: Volume Shift™) - so if you normally ride a 158cm snowboard, you’ll want to get your hands on the 153cm length for lapping your favorite run at the resort.

When it comes to tech, the Almanac does not skimp. Camber under-foot with raised contact points in the tip and tail help make this snowboard comfortable riding the entire resort - enough snap for the feeling of energy in and out of the turn, and a fluid feel when transitioning from edge to edge. From the bottom up, we’ve started with a hard and fast sintered 4000 base, a snappy core consisting of bamboo, aspen, and poplar woods, a bi-axial fiberglass weave, and our tip-to-tail carbon backbone snapping Ollies over slow signs. The Almanac also features an additional set of inserts for the front and back foot, so you can set your bindings back and enjoy a little extra float on the deep days.

When K2 introduced the PASSPORT - the feedback from their Team riders, Retail partners, and the conversations we’ve had in the liftlines (Whattup Alpental and Brighton Locals?!) - we knew we had a winner.

The waist width, sidecut, camber profile, and taper were spot on - but some riders we spoke to were looking for something a bit more robust for higher speeds and steeper terrain, and we said…”let’s make some prototypes.” We did, they were okay, so we made some more, and some more, and they f#cking ruled.

The result of proto round #3… the COMMONWEALTH - using the same shape and geometry that has made the Passport successful, with a more “beefed up” feature set for riders looking for something a bit more demanding. Our A1 Core gets wrapped in a heavier weight tri-axial fiberglass, which is then layered in our patented Spectral Braid - a piece of technology that we developed that allows you to fine tune the tip-to-tail flex of the snowboard independently from the torsional flex - it rules, we promise. We topped it all off with a wax infused sintered 4001 base to make sure you’re not getting stuck in the flats.

We believe that everyone should be able to experience the mountains - so the Commonwealth was designed and tested for all-genders. Starting at a 146 and sizing all of the way up to 166W-, this snowboard’s construction, waist width, and flex profile is scaled to meet the needs of the riders for each respective size.

Rocker Type

Have your mind blown by the K2 Excavator. Designed for the new age carver that has to slash every lip insight on the way to the POW stashes. This board is built for fun but also knows when to be serious. The wider profile of the Excavator allows riders to size down 5cm from their usual snowboard size and allows you to get all of the performance out of a longer board without the extra swing weight. This extra width and 20mm of taper benefits riders with wider feet, reducing any “booting out” on those deep corduroy carves and long traverses but don't be afraid of the width, both for male and female riders. Riding is believing!

Like any good exploratory mission, don’t forget to take your Passport with you -- the key to accessing uncharted terrain. Built for the intermediate-to-expert level rider and shaped and sized to be unisex, the Passport is directional in every way but remains switch and fakie friendly.

Slightly-wider-than-average waist width is met with 8mm of taper to ensure easy turning and float in deep snow. It’s complemented by an elongated rocker profile from the front insert pack, throughout the tip. A tighter sidecut radius in the tip and tail allows you to engage turns easily, while a longer radius between the feet makes the turn smooth and predictable progression. We’ve added a new blend of ICG 10™ Triax fiberglass to the Passport, adding tip-to-tail snap with precise edge performance.

This glass layup wraps our lightweight A1 core - which features three species of sustainably harvested timber, and all of it sits atop a fast and durable Sintered 4000 base.

CAMBER

Directional Combination Camber Profile – The best of both worlds. By blending both traditional Camber and Rocker profiles, Combination Camber gives you all the benefits of both: the pop and precision of camber, and the float and predictability of rocker.

SHAPE

The Passport has a directional shape so it wants to ride forwards. It can handle a bit of switch for sure, but riding your natural stance is where it will shine. 

CORE

Backed by years of rigorous testing, Hybritech™ is the lightest weight, most durable snowboard construction on the market. Removing all excess sidewall material in the tip and tail and adding a 3D capped edge to increase the bond strength of the fiberglass and decrease the swing weight of the board is what makes Hybritech so revolutionary. Our boards will spin faster, maneuver easier, and last longer than any other boards on the market.

BASE

Sintered 4000 Base – The sintered 4000 base absorbs wax deep into the material for relentless glide and unrivaled durability.

If your ideal snowboard treats the entire mountain like a terrain park, feelsat home sliding rails and boxes, and ventures into the streets from time to time, look no further than the all-new K2 World Peace. 

Twin in both shape and flex, the World Peace features a smooth flexing single-species core profile that we engineered to lock into presses and butters with ease.  Its core is constructed of 100% Aspen, a lightweight, renewable timber built to absorb shocks and take a beating. We wrap the core in a biax fiberglass--with fibers intersecting at a 90º angle--giving riders the ability to manipulate their tricks and a relaxed feel between features.

Lastly, we gave the World Peace a hard, fast, sintered 4000 base - a material that is genuinely as tough as nails to stand up to the abuse that freestyle snowboarding dishes out. 

Graphically, we worked with K2 Snowboarding Staff Photographer Marc O’Malley to help bring the World Peace some new energy for 2024. A bright, poppy base makes it so that your tricks catch people's attention in the park, and a clean top sheet is the perfect canvas for stickers and maybe even a little bit of illustration yourself.
