2027 K2 Gateway Pop Snowboard
The 2027 K2 Gateway Pop is an approachable all-mountain snowboard built for riders looking to progress across everything the resort has to offer. Its Directional shape and Directional Rocker Profile provide smooth turn initiation, dependable stability, and easy float in softer snow, while the Aspen Core keeps the ride lively, predictable, and easy to maneuver. ICG™ 10 Biax Glass integrates tip-to-tail carbon stringers for added snap and response without making the board unnecessarily rigid, and Hybritech™ Construction reduces excess material in the tip and tail for lower swing weight and a durable ride. Finished with a low-maintenance Extruded 2000 Base, the Gateway Pop delivers versatile performance for groomers, powder, trees, and everyday resort riding.
