'08 K2 Shuksan Telemark Skis

Developed in conjunction with Swiss Guide and Pro Guiding Service owner Martin Volken as a high-performance ski mountaineering ski, the Shuksan returns as the staple of the AT line. It still incorporates two sheets of metal, a stout flex, and extremely versatile 16.0 sidecut, but we’ve updated the tip for better edge hold and quicker initiation. Light enough for multi-day tours, its overriding quality has confidence-instilling performance when conditions or terrain won’t forgive a mistake.

CONDITIONS: 50% hard snow, 50% soft snow
