K2 Poacher Skis

While the Poacher is built for freestyle dominance, its 96mm waist and All-Terrain Twin Rocker profile make it surprisingly capable across the entire mountain. It handles groomers and side hits well, though it is definitely tuned more for playful, aggressive riding than for carving deep trenches on hardpack.

With an 8/10 flex rating, these are on the stiffer, more responsive side of the freestyle spectrum. They provide the stability needed for big landings and high-speed maneuvers, but they aren't 'noodle-soft'—you'll need to be an active skier to get the most out of them.

The Double Barrel core uses a blend of dense fir and lighter aspen wood to balance durability with weight. This specific layup is designed to withstand the heavy impact of rail sessions and deep landings while keeping the ski lively and energetic underfoot.

Yes, they are specifically engineered for that. The TwinTech full sidewall construction is designed to protect the top sheet from edge impacts, which is essential for longevity when you are sliding rails or hitting urban features.

The recommended mounting point is designed for a balanced, freestyle-oriented swing weight. If you are primarily riding park and switch, stick to the factory recommended line; if you plan on using them more for all-mountain freeriding, some skiers prefer to mount them slightly further back.

This ski is best for intermediate to advanced riders who prioritize freestyle progression. If you spend your days hitting jumps, rails, and side hits, and you want a ski that won't fold under pressure, this is a top-tier choice.
