K2 Ladies TNine Skye Ski (Discontinued)

Female athletes of all sports use equipment designed specifically for them. This equipment is designed to enhance their physical attributes and differences. K2 believes that skiing should be no different.

The Skye is the perfect learning tool for developing skiers. The Skye features MOD technology combined with a wide 70mm waist and 14mm sidecut, creating the perfect learning platform to improve rapidly. A very forgiving ski that is perfect for those new to the sport of skiing. This ski will definitely make for an enjoyable day on the slopes.

THE K2 ALLIANCE The K2 Alliance reflects a fresh, new approach to developing the world’s most effective women-specific ski equipment. K2 chose a team of women to represent a wide spectrum of experience, passion and understanding of the unique needs of women in skiing. These women serve as the backbone of product development, challenging K2 on all assumptions about what women want and need. In an industry first, K2 armed these women with unprecedented control, empowering them to direct K2 engineers and product managers in every aspect of ski development, product design, performance, graphic design and marketing.

The K2 Alliance represents a diverse range of the women’s market: from a ski mom, to a young career professional, to a world-extreme ski champion. The five women of the K2 Alliance have spent more than 18 months building a series of skis for each ability level, integrating design and development ideas from extensive on-snow testing into the process. Taking its name from the historic legislation that instituted equality for women in sports, Title IX, the T: Nine Series is the first complete collection of women-specific skis designed by five women for all women.

WOMEN`S SPECIFIC DESIGN K2 women`s skis have been designed specifically for women, by women, and incorporate a number of unique aspects that make them significantly different than men`s skis.

* Softer flex to match women`s strength to weight ratio for an easier more forgiving feel.

* Forward mounting position for optimum body alignment for maximum efficiency.

* Lightweight spruce core combined with MOD technology for mass damping and a smooth ride.

MOD TECHNOLOGY In Y2K, K2 launched their award-winning, revolutionary MOD Technology. This technology integrates an elastomeric secondary core which works as a high performance suspension system and mass damper to provide the highest degree of ease, power, forgiveness and performance available in skis today. Praised by magazine tests and validated by skiers around the world, MOD technology has proven to be the state of the art in ski design today.

TORSION BOX CONSTRUCTION K2`s Torsion Box Construction is their 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 benchmark and K2 continues to use it so widely because of its versatility and the ability to create so many different kinds of skis depending on the amount of flex and torsion designed into the construction.

TRIAXIAL BRAIDING Triaxial Braiding was introduced by K2 in 1988 and has withstood the test of time to rise to the top as the best torsion box construction process available. The patented and proprietary technology wraps an interlocking fiberglass weave around the ski`s wood core at a 38 degree angle to provide a strong, lightweight ski with optimum torsional stiffness. The end result is a ski with greater sensitivity and better turn response with less effort.

SHAPED SKI DESIGN K2 is leading the way in the shaped ski revolution. Their advanced shaped ski design delivers tremendous turning power, versatility and forgiveness in all types of snow. Carving is now easier than ever before. So, it`s no longer a question of whether to buy a shaped ski, but what shape to get.

BREAST CANCER RESEARCH FOUNDATION K2 will donate a portion of the sale proceeds from all T:Nine series skis to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF). Based in New York City, the BCRF is the largest national nonprofit organization dedicated solely to clinical and genetic research in breast cancer.
