K2 BrightSide Skis - Women's

In her own way, the BrightSide is as irritatingly likable as the SideKick. Does she always smile like that? Hard not to when you can't find a slope or condition you can't tame. Quicker and more energetic than her SideKick, the BrightSide is 90mm underfoot and has two sheets of metal that give her a smooth, supple accuracy.

Features:

• All-terrain rocker
• Cores combine aspen, paulownia and bamboo woods to create skis that are stable and predictable underfoot and light and soft in the tips and tails
• Metal laminate construction alternates layers of fiberglass and metal above and below the wood cores to provide damp, accurate performance
• Combination of sidewall and cap constructions gives the skis the power and pop of sidewall underfoot and the light, smooth handling of cap in the tips and tails
• Progressive sidecut produces different curve shapes along different parts of the skis—more aggressive in the tips, less aggressive in the tails
• The progressive sidecut results in confident, quick turn initiation in hard snow and easy release in crud and powder
• Top sheets feature a hydrophobic material similar to what is used on the bases to prevent snow from sticking and building up while you're skinning
• Adventure-series skis feature flat tails so you can easily plunge your skis into firm snow when building anchors or staking out a tent
• Holes drilled in the tips and tails facilitate building a rescue sled or constructing a ski anchor
• Holes come with plugs that can be easily removed with a flat head screwdriver; holes also function as skin attachment points for K2 skins (sold separately)
• Concave notches in the tails of the K2 BrightSide skis keep non-K2-brand skins securely centered on the tails
