The K2 Marksman 2018 is a good all mountain ski that shines off the beaten track. Its freeride design and 106mm waist size makes it very enjoyable for the adventurous skier.

The Marksman skis reasonably well all over the mountain. While it is not the most versatile of the skis we tested this year, it has a lot of plus points, in particular its off-piste performance.

This ski is a LOT of fun on varying terrain off piste. It is playful and very adventurous, its freeride design perfect for those looking to have a good time across all areas of the mountain. It is also stable on landings, allowing you to feel confident in improving and developing your skills.

Additionally, the K2 Marksman cuts really nicely through powder. Its 106mm waist proves a fantastic choice for floating across the soft stuff and conquering deep snow, whilst still being incredibly manageable in the turns.

The K2 Marksman a great choice for advanced skiers looking for a fun, durable, reliable ski to support them on their adventures across terrains.
