In the late 80`s K2 defined a movement by releasing a ski called the Extreme, an incredibly versatile high performance all mountain performer with an innovative graphic and style. You asked for it and we brought it back. Just like it`s predecessor, this ski has the torsional strength and durability to withstand the toughest of landings, and the confidence and stability to rip any terrain, but its twin tip enables you to ride and land switch with ease. The Extreme is absolutely the most functional in bounds twin tip available today. Features: - K2`s Factory Team Specific Construction

Factory Team Specific Construction - ABS/Urethane Hybrid Sidewalls
This sidewall construction uses a softer durometer urethane for shock absorption which lessens the impact of harsh landing and blows to the rider. The Urethane is used under foot to absorb impact loads while ABS is used towards the tip and tail to maximize performance and control. - Stealth Black Rivets
K2 introduced tip and tail rivets nearly 6 years ago on the Factory Series skis. The rivets were functionally developed for additional protection to add reinforcement in the tip and tail of the ski. Although function is still the primary purpose, K2 has evolved the rivets into plates that still reinforce the ski while giving it a unique aesthetic. - 3.5 mm Edges
Most of our Factory Series skis come with a thicker more durable steel edge to prolong the life of the ski. Normal thickness of an edge is around 2.5 mm whereas the Factory Series skis use a 3.5 mm edge to withstand the added abuse. This thicker edge is more resistant to impact, grinding and cracking for a more durable ski.
Triaxial Braiding Triaxial Braiding was developed by K2 in 1988 and is still the best way to apply fiberglass to a wood core. This process consists of sending a milled wood core through the patented Triaxial Braiding machine, where interlocking strands of fiberglass wrap the core. This unique method produces skis that have a great deal of torsional or twist rigidity and strength, while maintaining the lively innate flex characteristics of its wood core.
