Everyone’s favorite fatty, the beloved 2008 K2 Apache Pontoon Ski is back in your face for more freakishly fun action. The brainchild of freeriding legend Shane McConkey, the K2 Apache Pontoon is designed for flotation, but with an innovative blueprint that challenges conventional thinking behind ski engineering. With its massive dimensions, surf-inspired rocker, and powder-specific sidecut that tapers toward the tail, the 2008 Apache Pontoon is the same—an easy-to-ski powder weapon. An imposing tip width of 160mm combined with an equally impressive waist width of 130mm ensures the tip of the K2 Apache Pontoon will stay above surface at all times. And while technically a powder ski, the Pontoon delivers sidecut where you need it most—right underfoot—for maneuverability on firmer conditions or just to get back to the lifts for a second lap. The ultimate high-performing powder tool, the 2008 K2 Apache Pontoon Ski is built to plane…and win popularity contests.
