Product Info
Not a lot of ski companies out there are still making a dedicated mogul ski for the general public. But K2 stays true to what they're about and once again gives you the K2 244 Skis. These things are super stiff, super skinny, and super cambered. It's a shape not often seen in today's freeride dominated ski world, but holy moly is it fun in the bumps. These things bash the moguls with unreal power and quickness. So if you want to feel like Johnny Moseley in his prime, slap a pair of 244's on and go make some lightning quick turns down your local egg carton.
Product Details
Rocker Type
All-Terrain Rocker – Skis with All-Terrain rocker have a gradual rise to the tip for great versatility in all conditions, with a short, low rise in the tail for added control variable snow.
Core
Fir / Aspen Core – Fir for power and impact resistance, with lighter weight Aspen for a lively energetic feel.
Laminates
Triaxial Braid – A K2-patented machine interlocks strands of fiberglass around a milled core for pronounced torsional strength, while retaining the lively flex patterns inherent in a wood ski.
Sidewalls
DuraCap Construction – A molding process that envelopes the core and internal materials within the top layer of the ski. DuraCap skis are generally lighter overall, with enhanced durability and forgiveness.
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Rocker Type:
Camber

Rocker Type
Camber Camber is the traditional profile for skis offering skiers lots of edge hold, especially on harder snow. A cambered ski has a smooth arch underfoot and contact points near the tip and tail when unweighted. Camber skis excel at carving on hard snow; you won’t ever see a ski racer on anything other than cambered skis.
