Step away from the rental counter and try your hand at progression with K2’s latest Gateway Snowboard. With a slight, directional shape, a moderate flex, and a balanced ride, the Gateway sports a strikingly friendly profile that delivers everything you need in a beginner-friendly deck with nothing that you don’t.

It’s controlled, maneuverable, intuitive, and precise, with just the right amount of spice to bring both beginner and intermediate riders up to a new level of confidence. Complete with the appropriate set of snowboard boots and bindings, this all-inclusive snowboard package sports everything you need to succeed in a carefully chosen kit offered at a strikingly valuable price.
