K2 SideKick (2013)
Tester's Review
At heart, the SideKick has but one mission: find pow. But it's also a realist that understands a measure of hardpack performance is critical. Part of K2's Backside Adventure series, it uses a lightweight, tour-friendly construction that some testers found a hair soft. Others appreciated its forgiveness. With moderate tip rocker and a flat tail, the SideKick is an ideal first powder-specific or sidecountry ski.
PRICE (MSRP): $880.00
