K2 Poacher 177 Skis

​A durable freestyle player both in the park and beyond - the K2 Poacher

The K2 Poacher is the go-to all-mountain freestyle ski for many K2 athletes. The flagship tool of choice to shred the streets, icy parks, or spring slush. K2's 'Carbon Boost Braid' carbon stringers and a stiff flex profile provide the responsiveness you need for difficult obstacles and tricks.

Riding Style
All-mountain freestyle/park ski for intermediate to advanced level skiers. The wider twin tip shape makes this ski perfect for every terrain. From the park, groomers to the backcountry, you can ride this ski anywhere.

Shape
This ski comes with a directional twin shape, the nose is a few millimetres wider than the tail with a central binding position. Thus, the ski offers the same riding characteristics forward and switch. However, due to the slightly wider nose, you get a bit more float in the soft snow. ​

Profile
The All-Terrain Twin Rocker™ profile is perfect for any terrain. The profile features a classic camber under the binding with an even rocker in tip and tail. This means precision and pop for park and groomers, with a good float in powder.

Construction
The Double Barrel core combines a dense, Fir core over the edges for power and impact resistance, with a lighter Aspen centre core for a lively energetic feel. K2's 'Carbon Boost Braid' are longitudinal carbon stringers woven into the patented Triaxial glass for added pop and rebound. The TwinTech Sidewall is a durable full sidewall construction providing great edge feel and performance with added top sheet resistance.

Freeskis are usually delivered ready-to-ride with a waxed base and sharpened edges. However, this so-called factory-tuning is not very durable and your new skis should be properly waxed after a few days and maintained on a regular basis.
