K2 Seth Skis

A true, all-conditions ski designed by Seth Morrison as a single tool to attack anything Mother Nature throws at you. The 98mm waist width, mini rocker, and progressive sidecut make it a force to be reckoned with in the softest snow, but the generous sidecut in the tip and all-mountain flex make it ideal for the groomers. Add on a twin tip and you have the most versatile ski in the Factory Series line.

Torsion Box Construction
Torsion Box construction is K2`s most widely used, yet simplest lay-up. This construction is a Triaxially braided wood core ski. Braided torsion Box skis tend to have lively and energetic characteristics that provided a high degree of rebound and performance. A Triaxially Braided wood core ski is still the bench mark and they continue to use it so widely because of it`s versatility and the ability to create so many different kinds of skis depending on the amount of flex and torsion designed into the construction.

Progressive Sidecut
Progressive sidecut provides wider waist skis more versatility to be used in all conditions. Using Progressive Sidecut, K2 has found a way to combine these wider waisted skis, with more aggressive sidecuts. Standard sidecut theory is based on the belief that they were to have a completely radial arc that is to say if you followed the curve of the side of the ski the tip would match the tail. This works well on narrower waisted skis, but becomes overpowering on wider skis, especially in variable conditions. Progressive sidecut has different curve shapes along different parts of the ski. Starting at the tail, as you move up the length of the ski to the tip, sidecut progressively increases. What this results in is the confident, quick initiation we desire for hard snow performance at the tip of the ski through underfoot, but with a more forgiving, less aggressive turn shape from underfoot through the tail, allowing easier release in crud and powder. This ability to respect our history, while keeping an eye on the future, will ensure that KT½ traditions get passed on to future generations.

Triaxial Braided
Developed by K2 in 1988, Triaxial Braiding is still the best known process of applying fiberglass to a wood core. This process consists of sending a milled wood core through the patented Triaxial Braiding machine, where the core is wrapped by interlocking strands of fiberglass. This unique method produces skis that have a great deal of torsional rigidity and strength, while maintaining all the lively characterisitics of a wood core ski.

Tip and Tail Rivets
Added weight in precise locations on the tip and tail of the ski allows for more control and better turning capability.
