This ski does not come with bindings. We recommend a pair of bindings with a brake from 5 up to 10 mm wider than the ski. Please feel free to contact our customer service if you have a question about binding compatibility. If you buy skis and bindings together we can mount them for you free of charge.

K2 Omen Collection
K2 has dominated podiums with its classic models like the Poacher, Midnight & Sight, and now all-new it has consolidated its freestyle line under the Omen Collection. With graphic collaboration from German Artist Julia Schimautz, K2 delivers the Omen Team, Omen 90 and Omen 85. In addition to the all-mountain-freestyle Reckoner collection, K2 is overhauling its park-oriented models. The Omen collection includes various models with different waist widths and technological characteristics. There is a ski for everyone!  The Omen “W” skis feature the same construction as their unisex equivalents, but the women’s versions are available in shorter lengths and feature different graphics. All the skis in the Omen collection feature FSC-certified aspen cores, K2’s BioResin, and a Braided Core construction. K2 brings a fresh vibe to the freestyle scene filling the void left by the Poacher and other historical models.

K2’s Torsion Control Design Triaxally Braided K2-patented process that interlocks strands of fiberglass around a milled core for pronounced torsional strength while retaining the flex patterns inherent in a wood ski.

DuraCap Construction A molding process that envelopes the core and internal materials within the top layer of the ski. DuraCap skis are generally lighter overall, with enhanced durability and forgiveness.

Aspen wood core The core of the ski is there to transfer shear between all the contributing sheets and by experimenting with the proportions, K2 can temper with the balance between stiffness, dampness and flexibility and add or reduce weight. Using different types of wood and finding the right balance between them can produce great results. Different types of wood have different properties to bring to the table. K2 is able to use the properties of several types of wood in its cores, and can more accurately shape a ski's characteristics. This is done to give different strengths, flexes, and weights to different areas of a ski. In this case, Aspen has been chosen to ensure consistency, giving riders the advantage of a proven flex, durability and snap. Choosing the right type of wood and using it on the right area of the core, can make a great ski stand out!
