The Alchemist is K2’s North Star in the Landscape Collection — a hard-charging freeride rocket for advanced to expert riders. Crafted for steep lines, deep powder, and full-throttle speeds, the Alchemist offers aggressive precision, rock-solid stability, and next-level performance when everything’s on the line.
At its core, you'll find the S1 Core, blending bamboo, aspen, and paulownia for lightweight strength, edge-to-edge response, and swing-weight savings. The Spectral Braid carbon weave gives torsional rigidity where you need it (tip/tail), while staying relaxed between the feet for easier turn initiation. The SpaceGlass™ tip insert, a cured aerospace-grade fibreglass, cuts weight, dampens chatter, and increases edge hold.
Additional premium tech includes Recess3D shaping (reducing swing weight and chatter in low-stress zones), Carbon Power Fork™ inserts for added snap and tail response, a Wax-Infused Sintered 4001 Base for unmatched glide, and a SnoPhobic™ topsheet to shed snow on deep days.
In short: this is your big mountain missile — punishing in the best way, built for riders who demand precision, float, and power in every aggressive descent.
