Guided by proven ingenuity and modern technology, three years in the making, K2 launches its first splitboard this season, the Panoramic. With more and more of us looking beyond ski area boundaries for our turns, splitboarding has taken off in recent years. And for good reason –a day on your splits amounts to more than just ripping untouched lines, full immersion in all of the feelings that snowboarding can bring you; blood, sweat and tears (of joy) are included.

With the Panoramic’s Hyper Progressive Shape and All Terrain Rocker centered around K2’s Babooyah core, slaying powder will be a snap. When transformed into touring mode, handy tip and tail skin attachments are available for the top of the skis (a new design in splitboard tech). The skins themselves and all necessary backcountry accessories are also available from the same K2 retailers or online shops that sell the Panoramic. No more excuses, this is all you need to get out, get down and get after those dream lines you’ve been eyeing for years.
