K2
K2 is one of the most iconic names in the ski world. The story began on Vashon Island in the USA where brothers Bill and Don Kirschner experimented with fiberglass. The result was a lighter and more lively ski that changed the industry. Already in the late 60s, K2 was on the World Cup podium and they quickly continued to grow.

Over the years, they have maintained a clear identity. They like to challenge norms and create products that are fun to ski on. Their skis have always had their own attitude. They blend technology and playfulness in a way that has inspired generations of skiers.
Technology that drives development forward
K2 has left its mark on several major leaps in skiing throughout history. They developed the first commercially successful fiberglass skis. They launched wrap-around steel edges. They developed "smart" skis that reduced vibrations.
They were also early in shaping skis for women through their Womens Alliance. And when rocker technology broke through, K2 was one of the first to make it accessible to all skiers. Much of today's park skiing also owes a debt to K2 and their early twin-tip models.
