Product Features

• The 2018 K2 Empress Women’s skis are a testament to the fact that a park and pipe ski can be an awesome all-mountain ski as well. With a wood core, triaxial braided fiberglass reinforcement, and cap construction, the Empress is built for the long haul-a great combination of finesse and power that skiers of many ability levels will be able to enjoy. While created with park and pipe in mind, the Empress is a very versatile tool.
• The ski is built for fun–plain and simple-and the construction, profile, and shape are all tightly wound together to perpetrate that intent. With a wood core and fiberglass weave, the Empress is a stable performer. It doesn’t get bounced around like a composite ski would. The cap construction holds the ski together and makes it fell like a cohesive unit.
• These aspects of the construction give the ski a fun and playful feel. With a Jib Rocker profile, the ski has camber underfoot and rocker in the tips and tails. The camber gives good snap and pop in the turns, while the rocker allows the ski to float through snow without hooking up in the tips and tails. Again, the end result is “fun.” With a shape of 111/86/106, the 2018 K2 Empress is a well-rounded ski that performs in pretty much any snow conditions.
