The K2 Cold Shoulder Snowboard is so named for the frosty reception the rest of your quiver is doomed to endure. Blending stable high-speed performance with playful maneuverability at slower speeds, the Cold Shoulder is the ideal all-mountain board, and one that you'll want to take out in any conditions. With a directional freeride shape, it's a warm friend to the steep and deep, but a smooth medium flex and combination camber profile make it surprisingly easy to ride for a wide variety of riders. Whether you're dressing it up for a day in the park or taking it off trail for some powder, the Cold Shoulder is the perfect choice for any rider looking to shred with confidence.
Directional Combination Camber Profile – The best of both worlds. By blending both traditional Camber and Rocker profiles, Combination Camber gives you all the benefits of both: the pop and precision of camber, and the float and predictability of rocker.
Flex Rating – 5 (1 Playful - 10 Precise)
Rhythm Core – Uniquely shaped and designed to complement the mechanics, geometry, and riding style of female snowboarders, this core relies heavily on aspen to make it snappy and agile, while placing lightweight paulownia in the tip and tail to reduce swing weight and ease turn initiation.
ICG™ 10 Biaxial Carbon Glass – Integrating tip-to-tail carbon fiber stringers into fiberglass layups ensures a smooth power release in and out of turns while increasing pop, liveliness, and longevity of the snowboard without adding unnecessary rigidity.
Sintered 4000 Base – The sintered 4000 base absorbs wax deep into the material for relentless glide and unrivaled durability.

Sustainable snowboarding is the new hotness, and K2 are leading the charge. The all new K2 Network Snowboard Bindings lean hard into sustainable manufacturing processes. Think highbacks and straps made from castor beans, and footbeds made from scrap sugarcane. That would be awesome enough, but the fact that they absolutely rip, too? Say no more. Keep both Mother Earth and your conscience clean as a whistle with the K2 Network Snowboard Bindings.
Flex Rating – 7 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
Module™ Chassis – Featured on all K2’s new bindings, the Module chassis is composed of a fiberglass infused nylon, and minimizes “dead” board flex zones directly underneath the binding. This in turn allows the rider to feel the flex and response of the entire board length, while providing maximum support, security, comfort, and vibration damping.
3° Sugarcane EVA Canted Harshmellow™ Footbed with Pods – Derived from scrap native sugarcane raised with minimal impact on rainforests, the footbeds on the Module chassis represent a huge leap toward the goal of carbon net-neutrality. Integrated with K2’s proprietary Harshmellow™ technology, these eco-conscious footbeds provide grip, cushion, and performance for all day riding in every condition.
This Grips™ Basepad – K2’s proprietary rubber compound, integrated onto the bottom of the Module chassis, provides vibration damping and cushion between board and binding, reducing fatigue and joint impact.
Team Highback – K2’s new Team Highback harnesses the strength and sustainability of the castor bean, and represents a huge step toward the goal of carbon net-neutrality.
Forward Lean Block
Single Density Ankle Strap – K2’s new single density ankle strap harnesses the strength and sustainability of the castor bean, and represents a huge step toward the goal of carbon net-neutrality.
Single Density Toe Strap – K2’s new single density toe strap harnesses the strength and sustainability of the castor bean, and represents a huge step toward the goal of carbon net-neutrality.
MultiMount™ Ankle Strap Mount Points – Featured on the Module™ Chassis, mulitple mount points for the ankle strap on the Module chassis allow for a fine-tuned, custom fit.
Look after your feet and your feet will look after you. The K2 Kinsley Snowboard Boots bring comfort, performance, and fit together in a toasty blend that will have your piglets singing from the mountain tops. They're tuned with a medium flex for all mountain freestyle riding, and crafted with durable materials to keep you on the hill shredding your heart out all winter long.
