The K2 Pontoon skis are designed to give performance on downhill and powder snow trails. There is a rocker built into the ski, which gives it a bowed up tip and tail. This allows you to control your speed in the powder like no other ski and the quickness of these skis is incredible. It is easier for the skier to maintain balance on any surface condition for maximum control.
The tip has a width of 160mm and the waist is of 130mm. This makes the tip stay above snow surface on the trails. You cannot bury the tip no matter how hard you try. This gives a feeling of flotation for which the K2 Pontoon is best known. There's a side cut right under the foot, which makes it easy to maneuver, especially on firmer trails or get back to the lifts for another round.
Despite the 130mm waist, they are quick enough to turn. K2 Pontoon skis are not designed to race, but if you are going to fast, you can slow down easily by sliding sideways. You cannot only use them on power dump trails but also on low descents. You will easily float around trees and sail smoothly through loosely packed moguls.
The tips and tails of the skis do not grab and this makes it easy to pivot your feet to make a turn. Very little effort and speed is required to make turns. They have a good swing weight. You can ski for a much longer period of time without getting tired on the Pontoons. The core material used is Fir or Aspen wood. Though recommended for experts, even intermediate skiers will find them easy to handle as they take their skiing experience to a higher level.
