"Inspired by one of the world's ultimate powder and groomer destinations, the K2 Niseko Pleasures takes its name from the Niseko region of Hokkaido, Japan. Tweaked, and tested, and-and-approved, by long-time K2 Snowboarding Team Rider Yo Amagai, we've tapped into the locals' knowledge to develop the best possible tool for riding powder and groomers.
The Niseko Pleasures is built for the advanced-to-expert snowboarder, features our smooth-flexing Bambooyahâ„¢ Pro Core, biaxial fiberglass lay-up, fast Carbon Infused 5500 Sintered Race Base, waxable P-Tex sidewalls, and a snow-shedding SnoPhobicâ„¢ top sheet. Its tapered directional shape helps the tail sink while easing turn initiation and exit for effortless edge changes on any terrain.
The tip and tail shape, a wider-than-normal waist width, and 20mm of taper work perfectly to glide through powder and keep the nose well above the snow for easy navigation and maneuverability. The mid-wide shape allows riders to downsize ~5cm from their standard snowboard length without sacrificing float."
