K2 Coomba (SC 135mm – 102 mm– 121mm) top These fat boys love the deep, deep powder and so will you. Co-created by Doug Coombs and K2, the Coomba is the next generation powder ski built for adventure.

Movement Spark (SC 121mm-82mm-110mm) top Our superlative all-’rounder! This great ski is consistently one of the favourites in our line. It has a medium flex which makes it a forgiving ski that flatters the skier in all snow conditions and terrain. However, if the expert wants to really start charging, the Spark will respond without compromise. It is the definition of an advanced/experts all-around ski. Available lengths: 173cm, 183cm. Movement Goliath (SC 134mm – 99mm -118mm ) top A ski meant for powder and open terrain where an expert can really open it up. One of its celebrated qualities is that it skis much easier and shorter than the dimensions would suggest. This is due to the core materials; light but superbly balanced with fantastic dampening qualities, facilitating easier release in tighter turns. Available lengths: 184 cm. Movement Black Rose-Women’s (SC 120mm-87mm-109mm) top For women who regularly outski their male counterparts, we designed a very light ski with the same construction features used in the development of the Thunder. It is the ideal ski for expert women skiers who want a powerful ski which skis powder and crud as easily as it carves compact and hard snow. This is THE women’s performance freeride ski. Available lengths: 165cm, 175cm. K2 Phat Luv-Women’s (SC 135mm-102mm-121mm) top Specially designed by women for women, the Phat Luvs are the ultimate deep powder ski. Light and agile, this ski floats effortlessly through untracked snow. Though designed primarily for powder; the blend of "enough" sidecut and a new tip shape, this ski can also handle any condition on the mountain. Available lengths: 163 cm, 173 cm. Snowboards Our rental shop currently offers the fabulous, Canadian-made Prior powder snowboards for rent. Have you ever tried a board designed to float through the powder?
