BioFlex Core
All of our women’s skis use a combination of fir and spruce in a unique core known as BioFlex, a process where a dense fir core underfoot is fused with lightweight spruce at the tip and tail to reduce swing-weight. With the Alliance’s involvement, K2 developed this technology specifically for women: lightweight and easy to maneuver, yet sturdy and high-performance. -
Powder-Specific Tip Design
The widest point of a powder tip is 7cm back from the standard contact point. The design adds stability and predictability while skiing and is less likely to hook or grab in light crusts or variable conditions. -
Progressive Sidecut
Progressive sidecut is a combination of two different radii, or sidecuts, that enhance the versatility of wider-waist skis. Standard sidecut theory is based on using a single radius. This works well on narrower skis, but becomes overpowering on wider skis, especially in variable conditions. The use of progressive sidecut on wider-waist skis guarantees improved turn initiation and hard-snow performance. -
Tip and Tail Holes
Holes in the tip and tail are not only the attachments points for K2 skins, but they also fit the functional needs of a backcountry skier including the ability to build a rescue sled or construct various ski anchors. The holes are equipped with removable plugs. -
Twin Tip Specific Ski Shapes
Unlike other categories in the K2 line, our twin tips are designed to ski in both directions. The demand for products that perform increasingly well either way is now the norm. K2 has exceeded that challenge by developing unique radius and taper angles to maximize the skis’ bi-directional performance. -
Twin Tech Sidewalls
This new Twin Tip specific construction process increases the durability of sidewall skis. A traditional sidewall construction produces a 90-degree angle where the top material and sidewall meet. The Twin Tech construction actually rolls the top material into the sidewall reducing the angle that is prone to abuse. -

Triaxial Braiding
Triaxial braiding consists of braiding fiberglass around a wood core to provide torsional rigidity for added control. Developed in 1988 by K2 engineers, the patented triaxial braiding machine interlocks strands of fiberglass around a milled wood core. While flex and torsion vary depending on the wood, Triaxially braided skis share the common traits of ease, forgiveness, responsiveness, and energy in both expert and entry level skis.

Best Uses
Comments about K2 Skis MissDirected:
I had to simply stand up and trust the ski. The day before I had fallen on an ice rink, subluxed a rib, and could not roll over in bed or lift my right arm above my head, but NO WAY would I miss a heli day. I could not afford to fall, but if I sat back my legs (at age 58) would be toast. Almost 30,000 vertical feet later (and maximal ibuprofen), in mostly good snow (some face shots), with bits of heavier wet stuff, I was still standing (and smiling!) The skis calmly handled everything they encountered, and kept me from taking any headers.
Pros
- Awesome powder ski
- Great for Big powder days
- Light and responsive
- Very playful
Cons
- I had to give them back
- They were not mine
Best Uses
- Big fat powder days
- Highland bowl days
- Silverton days

This is the best ski i have tried this season. Took them to Silverton for a 24" powder day and lead the pack. They are so playful yet aggressive when needed. Love the graphics too - couldn't stop smiling the days I have been on these ski's - THEY ROCKED MY WORLD!
