2026 K2 Excavator Snowboard

K2 Excavator – A Powerhouse for Laying Deep Trenches and Displacing Powder

It's all in the name. The K2 Excavator from the Landscape Collection is for the rider looking to lay deep trenches and push powder piles with ease, especially after an epic dump day. With its aggressive directional shape and innovative construction, the Excavator is built to tackle everything from steep descents to powder-filled bowls with confidence. Designed with a wider perimeter and a dual-radius sidecut, its larger profile allows you to size down by 5cm without losing performance. The extra width and 20mm taper are particularly beneficial for riders with bigger feet, helping to reduce toe drag during deep carves and long traverses.

Featuring K2's S1 Core, the Excavator delivers exceptional response and durability, while the ICG™ 10 Biax Carbon Glass offers added snap, stability, and durability. The 3D Contour Nose ensures smooth flotation in powder, and the Recess3D Top Sheet reduces swing weight for a more agile ride. With its Wax Infused Sintered 4001 Base, this board is fast, responsive, and ready to take on any challenge the mountain throws your way.

Specifications:

• Shape: Tapered Directional with Camber
• Flex: Medium-Stiff (7/10)

Key Features:

• Volume Shift™ – By shifting volume from the tips and tails to underfoot, this design creates a shorter, wider board that maintains the float and stability of a traditional shape while enhancing mobility, maneuverability, and performance in the trees.
• S1 Core – A blend of bamboo, aspen, and paulownia for a lightweight yet strong core with excellent snap, durability, and edge-to-edge response, arranged at a 30° angle for optimal energy transfer.
• SpaceGlass™ Tip & Tail Insert – Aerospace-grade fiberglass inserts in the tip and tail that reduce weight, enhance durability, and minimize chatter, delivering better control and stability, particularly at high speeds.
• 3D Contour Nose – An 3mm convex 3D contour (spoon) gradually blended from the running surface into the nose, enhancing flotation in powder and maintaining a predictable feel on hardpack.
• Carbon Power Fork™ – Strategically placed carbon additives in the tail of the board enhance snap and rebound, delivering explosive energy transfer and power when exiting turns.
• Hybritech™ Construction – A unique construction method that blends sidewall and cap construction for optimized durability, reduced weight, and smoother edge transitions.
• ICG™ 10 Biax Carbon Glass – Carbon-infused fiberglass laminate for added snap, stability, and durability while reducing overall weight for a responsive ride.
• Wax Infused Sintered 4001 Base – The hardest and fastest sintered base material on the market, holding wax longer for a smoother glide and increased durability.
