Empress 2019
Product not eligible for returnThe Empress by K2 is a freestyle ski for women from the Factory Team range.
The Empress is back this year with a new, very 80s-inspired wacky design. This ski is always popular due to its ease-of-use, manoeuvrability and its highly competitive price.
Its construction is the same as last season, with a resistant wood core, reinforced with lightweight carbon braiding, a well-balanced shape, a lightweight design and optimal flex on the tip and tail. The DuraCap construction results in a ski that is more solid with enhanced durability.
It is also very proficient for on-piste use and offers optimal agility.
As regards the All-Terrain Rocker, this adds a very playful, comfortable feature to the ski, to aid your freestyle progression.
In short, the Empress is a ski for skiers starting out in freestyle or those who are looking for a playful ski that's easy to handle.

Almost symmetrical flex for use on rails and in tail presses, ollies and butters.
Aspen core:
100% aspen core, for lightness and flex.

Ultra facile à prendre en main, l'Empress est un ski joueur, accessible à toutes.
On ne le recommandera pas aux freestyleuses chevronnées, mais les débutantes et skieuses intermédiaires y trouveront leur compte avec de quoi parcourir toute la montagne et progresser en freestyle. En switch comme en front, le ski est bien équilibré et pivote facilement. Et le design est magnifique !
Les plus : accessibilité en prix et niveau / équilibre / maniabilité
Les moins : trouve ses limites aux pieds de skieuses de très bon niveau
