2027 K2 Omen 90

The 2027 K2 Omen 90 is a carryover ski for this year, bringing the same construction, shape, profile, and graphics as last year. This is a great option for progressing freestyle skiers and all-mountain skiers who are looking for more of a twin tip style ski for more creative skiing. K2 uses a sturdy build here, so the Omen 90 does punch above its level quite a bit, especially for a ski that (unfortunately for me) tops out at 179 cm length.

K2 uses an aspen microblock wood core in this ski and that makes a lot of sense for blending smoothness with performance. They do a great job of making a ski feel like a higher end product without adding too much material. They do use a carbon braided core, as the carbon stringers get infused with the fiberglass in the wrapping process. K2 uses their Twin Tech Sidewalls here to increase edge grip and durability, giving the ski a stronger overall feel. Tester Nate Sugiyama calls it a “Nice all-mountain ski, easy riding while maintaining torsional rigidity. Intermediate to experienced skiers will enjoy these. All mountain ski, great on groomers and off trail.”

At 90 mm underfoot, this ski has a nice level of versatility to it. While some skiers and testers may not have park desires, it’s at least nice to know that the capacity is there. The ski’s measurements of 119/90/113 generate a 16-meter turn radius in the 169 cm length affording a variety of turn shapes and styles. There’s some rocker here but not a ton. Most modern park skis are a bit more cambered to increase edge grip and precision, and these follow that method. Tester Sam Ferrino states that “The ski felt stiffer but lighter than I expected. It was pretty quick edge to edge and felt stable to ride. This is a good all mountain park ski. It holds up well on jumps and is lightweight but poppy. For me, it’s on the stiffer side of park skis. It’s best for intermediate and advanced skiers. The ski’s stiffness makes it good for skiers who want to go big.”

The design and style of this ski speak to its creativity and usefulness in the terrain park and beyond. The stiffness and precision stands out to our testers, and those who have skied it in the past, and it makes sense for a park ski especially since support is paramount when taking and landing huge airs. In addition, we’ve seen great feedback in terms of the durability of these skis as they will hold up to a lot of use, especially on the feet of aggressive slopestyle skiers.
