The Marksman is, first and foremost, an incredibly unique-looking ski that’ll catch your eye—thanks to an asymmetrical build and groovy topsheet graphic. And, fortunately, it performs just as great as it looks. Taper on the outside edge supplies a supremely surfy and floaty ride; aspen wood keeps things light and snappy; and fir wood delivers serious stability. Rockered tips, camber underfoot, a versatile width profile and K2’s esteemed double-barrel construction (denser core over the edges and lighter materials in the center for a reduction in swing weight) make it
a great fit for those with a knack for playful skiing. “Super great shape!” gushed one tester. “Crushes turns of any size without objection and also smears with the best of ‘em, providing a super natural-feeling ride.”
