K2 snowboards marks their 22nd year of designing some of snowboarding’s best snowboards, boots, and bindings. For a company thats been representing shred since the grassroots days of ah inspiring neon outerwear to new found revival of the Gyrator; K2 snowboards knows what the true meaning of snowboarding is all about. Fun! One word that has a home to us all, and defines those glorious days bearing the pain of lacing your boots in freezing temperatures only to await the sounding click of your bindings and the gliding slice of your snowboard as you rail your first turn. As much as K2 enjoys making quality snowboards, boots and bindings; the Trusnow team actively awaits the arrival of the new K2 product to share with you. Well, the season is just around the corner and the 2008 K2 Snowboard Product is here for the shredding! The latest and greatest tools to get your shred on.

The K2 Zeppelin Snowboard comes fully loaded with our New! Multi Superlight Core and New! Sintered 40% Carbon Base, making it faster and lighter than ever. This season’s K2 WWW snowboard took the already perfect jib board and made it even better. Our New! Hybritaper Tip and Tail reduces the swing weight even more for effortless spinning. The K2 Darkstar snowboard has been reshaped to be a true twin-tip with Hyper Progressive Sidecut and centered stance, giving you the versatility to progress in any situation.  The Gyrator combines legendary K2 performance with Rocker technology for those ready to go where no rider has gone before.  Effortless float replaces any and all leg burn while a slightly stiffer nose and tail increase pop and provide stability whether you’re dropping a pillow line or sticking a 60 foot tabletop.

Timberline Lodge and Vitamin Water host a free day of fun shredding for the price of an empty water bottle? Sounds like a good time to me. The day was calm, with sunny sky’s and surprisingly a little snow dusting as well. We were fortunate enough to play hookie and enjoy some free shred action on Vitamin Water’s dime. All we had to do was turn in an empty bottle of water and magically it was transformed into a full day lift ticket of joy. The scene was packed with snowboard enthusiasts wanting a taste of the “spring like” corduroy and freshly cut park and pipe. We teamed up with K2’s most awesome rep BJ and tested out some K2 snowboards, K2 boots and K2 bindings. I jumped on the K2 Darkstar and Courtney on the K2 Duchess. We were stoked to get out on the hill.

The free shred day was well worth the trip, we rode with the sun on our backs and smiles on our faces and not a dime out of our pockets. Another day in the life of being a snowboarder, a shop kid, a TruSnower! Life is good.
