The Omen Team, the choice of the K2 Factory riders, is equally at home on huge features as it is on street tests. 96mm underfoot is the kind of width that suits a variety of terrain, matched by a construction that mixes enough flex for the park and a stiffness that works for all-mountain, meaning it’s genuinely comfortable with any skiing style or terrain.
Terrain SuitabilityIt's designed for park riding but the shape and the flex make it more than handy skiing all-mountain. It has enough rocker and width to deal with all but the deepest days, and it's definitely happy skiing anything with a bit of pace too. The flex is softer than the Poacher that it replaces in the K2 line-up, but it is still firmer than many park skis. Butters are now even more comfortable, and it retains the pop off the lip that other skis can't match along with a solid feel on the landing.
Skier TypeIf you're skiing a mix of park and all-mountain then it is going to hit the spot as a 1-ski option for most skiers. Only on the deepest days will you be wishing for more waist.
ShapeBased super closely on the Poacher, it keeps the 96mm underfoot which is a good size for a ski like this, it will basically handle everything with zero compromise in the park. 18m (179cm) is long enough to make sure the Poacher is super stable on landings and when skiing all terrain, but not so long it feels slow to turn.
RockerAll-Terrain Twin Rocker is a gradual, extended rise at the tip and tail for added versatility and control in all conditions with twin tip skis. Camber underfoot helps with the pop in the park and adds grip on firm snow; the gradual rocker at the tip and tail ease butters and smooth initiation and release, giving the ski the right blend of control and looseness. The Team uses slightly more rocker than the Omen 90, but less than skis in the Reckoner line.
CoreAspen is lightweight and resilient, a great all-round material for a freestyle ski. This is wrapped using K2's patented process of Tiaxal Braiding for better strength.
ConstructionTwinTech Sidewall construction utilises durable full sidewalls to provide great edge feel and performance, with a cap effect for added top sheet resistance to ski versus ski impact damage.
Sizing DescriptionEye level for the maximum ease of spinning and rail tricks, but you need to go bigger for extra stability or speed and for all-mountain versatility, especially important on the wider models that are designed to spend more time away from the park.
