In the midst of providing a wide margin for user error, The Empress solidly grips hard snow and ice, meeting the demands of steep, east coast faces. This is a great ski for girls to get on as their first pair of adult skis too!

Construction

Cap Construction - A lightweight durable construction that makes the Women's Empress easy to turn and control.

Triaxial Braid - An exclusive K2 technology that interlocks fiberglass strands around the ski's wood core, resulting in phenomenal torsional rigidity without effecting the skis flex pattern.

Core

BioFlex 2 - 70% Aspen / 30% Paulownia - This women's specific core incorporates a softer wood in the tip and tail, with a stiffer wood under binding. The softer wood allows the skis to easily enter and exit turns, while the stiffer wood provides energy and stability. The blend of these particular woods, give the Empress reduced swing weight for added control.

Shape

Jib Rocker - 20% Rocker / 80% Flat - A playful rocker shape that incorporates a rockered tip and tail with a flat zone under binding. The flat zone provides solid edge hold on hard snow, while the rockered areas are ideal for freestyle presses, butters and added float when conditions soften up.

Additional Awesomeness

Tip and Tail Hardware - Tip and tail protectors that help prevent against de-laming and tip/tail separation, from harsh terrain park abuse.

Park Flex-Pattern

Binding

The women's K2 Empress does not come with a binding. We recommend you use a binding that will accommodate your skiing needs (backcountry, touring, all-mountain, freestyle etc.). Be sure the brake width and release settings will work for your particular activity. Questions about what's best for you, contact an expert at TheSkiMonster.com.
