All-new for 2025, the K2 Reckoner KF is the brainchild of Karl Fostvedt and designed for hitting big jumps. Deep landings, and offers a playful approach to the biggest lines out there. Offering a slightly sturdier construction for more stability and power allows skiers with a playful style to feel confident that you will stomp. Floaty and slashy through deep snow, these are one of the best choices out there for freestylers taking their skills into a big mountain format.

Why we like it:

An almost symmetrical shape makes the Reckoner KF an incredible choice for freestyle skiers who want to take their skillset to the next level in the backcountry. A sturdy but supple flex pattern allows for creativity to flow on any scale.

Who it's for:

Advanced to expert freestyle skiers who seek a ski that performs well in deep snow while allowing park maneuvers and playfulness to come through no matter how deep the snow is.

Highlights:

K2’s Spectral Braid fine-tunes the flex of the skis in specific areas to provide stiffness or suppleness in areas where it is most needed. The forebody and aft sections of the skis have a bit more stiffness for vibration damping and stability on landings while the underfoot zone has more torsional stiffness for edge grip on wind-blown firm snow. Carbon Braided Core wraps around the core to boost energy and pop while also adding overall stiffness to the ski. Uni-Directional Flax contributes to vibration damping. Carbon Boost uses longitudinal carbon stringers woven into K2’s patented Triaxial Braid for pop and rebound. TwinTech Sidewalls are durable, full sidewalls that provide edge grip as well as protection against ski-to-ski impact damage. Bio-Resin adhesives used to hold the ski together is a green approach to construction to lessen the footprint of production.

Things to consider:

The Reckoner KF has an almost symmetrical shape and rocker profile which will likely be tough for more directional skiers to grasp when in deep snow. The more central mountpoint will also make directional skiers feel a bit over the front of the skis. Both of these attributes play into a freestyle skiers style of skiing more centrally over the ski. Even with moving the mount point back, the symmetrical shape will still have directional skier feel unfamiliar.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Skis true to size.
