DESCRIPTION
Designed to ride the entire resort and score an A+ in the turning category, the ALL-NEW K2 Almanac snowboard is writing the newest chapter in Volume Shift™ snowboards. Purpose-engineered to be a daily driver, this snowboard takes inspiration from models like the Party Platter and Excavator, and charts it’s own course.
When choosing the Almanac, you’ll want to size down ~5cm, due to it’s wider than average outline (read: Volume Shift™) - so if you normally ride a 158cm snowboard, you’ll want to get your hands on the 153cm length for lapping your favorite run at the resort.
When it comes to tech, the Almanac does not skimp. Camber under-foot with raised contact points in the tip and tail help make this snowboard comfortable riding the entire resort - enough snap for the feeling of energy in and out of the turn, and a fluid feel when transitioning from edge to edge. From the bottom up, we’ve started with a hard and fast sintered 4000 base, a snappy core consisting of bamboo, aspen, and poplar woods, a bi-axial fiberglass weave, and our tip-to-tail carbon backbone snapping Ollies over slow signs. The Almanac also features an additional set of inserts for the front and back foot, so you can set your bindings back and enjoy a little extra float on the deep days.

TECHNOLOGY
VOLUME SHIFT™: |
| Our Sintered 4000 base absorbs wax deep into the material for relentless glide and unrivaled durability. |
SINTERED 4000 BASE: |
| Our Sintered 4000 base absorbs wax deep into the material for relentless glide and unrivaled durability. |
BAP CORE: |
| A tri-blend wood core harnesses the rebound, strength, and feel of sustainably harvested Bamboo, Aspen, and Paulownia timber species. |
BIAX GLASS: |
| A fiberglass weave intersecting at 90º angles provides the proper torsional flexibility and strength. |
CARBON BACKBONE™: |
|
A pre-cambered carbon inlay centered between the inserts specifically designed to add snap and pop to every ollie and takeoff. |
HYBRIDTECH™ CONSTRUCTION: |
| Backed by years of rigorous testing, Hybritech™ is the lightest weight, most durable snowboard construction on the market. Removing all excess sidewall material in the tip and tail and adding a 3D capped edge to increase the bond strength of the fiberglass and decrease the swing weight of the board is what makes Hybritech so revolutionary. Our boards will spin faster, maneuver easier, and last longer than any other boards on the market. |
