Description
2026 K2 Sky Pilot Snowboard
Designed with Sage Kotsenburg for freeride precision and playful versatility, the 2026 K2 Sky Pilot is a directional board that thrives in steep terrain, pillows, and technical tree lines. A slightly wider platform gives it the float of a pow board with the control of something far more nimble. The mid-flex profile strikes a balance between powerful edge hold and smooth tail release, making it ideal for pivoting through tight spots or dropping into natural transitions.
Who is this board best for?
Intermediate to expert freeriders who want a directional board with a mid flex and the ability to handle both deep days and varied terrain.

Camber Profile
-
Directional Combination Camber – Traditional camber underfoot for stability and power with rocker in the nose for float and a catch-free feel in deep snow.
Flex
-
Flex Rating: 6/10 – A balanced flex tuned for freeriding and freestyle, responsive enough to charge, but playful enough to tweak.
Shape
-
Directional Shape – A longer nose and 0.75" setback keep the board floating in powder while driving through carves with power.
Core
-
S1 Core – Bamboo, aspen, and paulownia blended for lightweight performance, snap, and durability in variable terrain.
Laminates
-
Triaxial Glass – Enhances edge control and torsional strength for stable riding across all conditions.
-
Carbon Y-Beam™ – Directs power through the core and tail, boosting energy and responsiveness when carving or popping.
Base
-
Wax-Infused Sintered 4001 – Fast, durable, and wax-absorbent for consistent speed across all snow types.
Binding Compatibility
-
2x4 Insert Pattern – Compatible with most modern bindings and allows flexible stance options.
Additional Features
-
Sage Kotsenburg Pro Model – Designed with Sage for a balanced, mid-flex ride that blends freeride power with freestyle freedom and float.
- 3D Base Contour – A subtle 3mm spoon contour at the tip and tail that helps the board deflect soft snow, initiate turns more smoothly, and stay predictable on hardpack. It enhances float and reduces edge catch in deeper snow or variable terrain.
- Volume Shift™ – A shorter, wider shape that boosts control and float without sacrificing stability. Designed to be ridden slightly shorter than your regular board.
-
5-Year Warranty – Built to last and backed by K2’s most advanced construction.
