K2 Gateway Wide - Men's snowboard

The K2 Gateway combines a classic directional twin shape and a progressive Rocker Profile that takes on all comers and is the perfect ally for ripping down open powder fields, perfectly spaced tree runs, or your favorite line in the park.

K2 uses its ICG™ 10 Biax Fiberglass with tip-to-tail carbon stringers for edge hold through choppy terrain and at high speeds and added an Extruded 2000 base to provide a smooth and durable feel that’ll have you leading your crew to the next secret stash. The all-mountain Gateway packs premium tech into an affordable package for leveling up your skill-set on any terrain the resort has to offer.
