K2 Hardside Alpine Ski - 2009 BCS
Available Colors / Styles
With a mid-fat width, powerful metal laminate construction, and slightly rockered tip, the K2 Hardside Alpine Ski holds its own in powder and lays the smackdown on crud and thick snow. This is the ski for those who seek out bottomless days as often as possible but who often get stuck dicing through chunder grits. Cruise when it’s soft and easy—then turn into a showoff when conditions get difficult.
- Backcountry-friendly features include tip and tail holes for easy K2 skin attachment, flat tails, and tail notches to secure any type of skin clip
- Hybritech Construction with Titanium laminate blends the performance of sidewall, the give of cap construction, and powerful precision
- Aspen and Paulownia blended wood core weighs very little but is still durable and responsive
- Powder-specific tip design means the ski contacts the snow at the widest tip point, which keeps tips stable in variable conditions
- Progressive sidecut allows for aggressive turn initiation and easy tail release
- Gradual rockered tip sails in the soft snow
Bottom Line: This is no fair-weather backcountry ski. It’s an all-condition snow-slaying machine.

I have just started to ski the 174 Hardside with Dynafits and am really liking them. Versatile. Good on the steeps, vertical sidewall and fairly stiff. Good in the crud and pow with a 98mm waist and a slight rocker that doesn't flap around at speed. Truly a do everything ski and not that heavy.

the kids in Chainpur couldn't stop talking about how quick the hardsides were edge to edge and how well the rocker plowed through the crud, they would know!
Change me.

I haven't skied a sub 100mm waist in a few years let alone a straight tail. I found these skis to be a good driver. The metal gives the ski a damp more...
