The most notable feature of the new K2 Catamaran is its asymmetric tip profile. As the Catamaran is a twin-tip, naturally the tail is likewise asymmetric. In action, the uphill ski engages less with the snow. The asymmetric effect is somewhat mitigated by the Caramaran’s full Powder rocker that keeps its ends off the snow.

Less obvious than the asymmetric tip shape but probably a bigger contributor to its best attributes is the Catamaran’s core. Fashioned from fir and aspen and reinforced with carbon stringers, the heart of the Catamaran is what gives it an injection of energy at the end of the turn. The extra boost off the tail is what gives the Catamaran its special, spicy flavor and makes the transition to the next turn all but automatic.
