For their 20th anniversary, K2 Snowboarding is letting loose & running with a creepy carnival theme created by artist Mike Shine. This winter’s collection incorporates more of their innovative tech (Baseline, Harshmellow, Tweakback, Conda) that makes K2 stand out in the industry. K2 gives not to their roots in the backcountry by introducing K2 Backside – a line of gear including shovels, packs, probes & the Panoramic Split board that’s been 3 years in the making.
For guaranteed double-takes in the lift line, the K2 Happy Hour is your best bet. The entire 2012 team of riders collaborated to put together this one-of-a-kind board that’s ready to take on the entire mountain. It’s tapered silhouette and awesomely creepy graphics were designed by pro rider Danny Larsen and will definitely get you noticed this season.
