K2 Almanac Unisex Snowboard 2026

The K2 Almanac Unisex Snowboard 2026 is a directional, Volume Shift™ all-mountain charger that blends a wider, shorter outline, Combination Camber profile, and carbon-reinforced BAP core to turn the entire resort—groomers, trees, pow, and side hits—into your favorite run.

Precision Turns, Shorter Length, Bigger Fun

• Volume Shift™ shape: Extra width through the waist lets you size down about 4–10 cm from your usual length while keeping the same stability and float. Less board, quicker turns, more fun—without sacrificing control.
• Directional Combination Camber: Camber underfoot with subtly raised contact points in the tip and tail gives you real edge bite and pop, with a smoother, more forgiving feel when transitioning edge-to-edge and in variable snow.
• Intermediate–advanced daily driver: Built as a one-board quiver for riders who want to carve hard, lap pow, and still duck into freestyle terrain without switching setups.
• Sintered 4000 base: A hard, fast sintered base that absorbs wax deep into the material for long-lasting glide and excellent durability, day after day, lap after lap.
• BAP wood core: K2’s tri-blend BAP core—bamboo, aspen, and paulownia—delivers a lively, damp ride that’s lightweight, strong, and smooth in chunder.
• Biax fiberglass: A bi-axial glass layup keeps the flex predictable and playful enough to feather turns, slash, and smear, while maintaining plenty of torsional support.
• Carbon Backbone™ pop: A pre-cambered carbon inlay centered between the inserts adds snap, rebound, and response so every ollie, slash, and carve exit feels powerful.
• Hybritech™ construction: Sidewalls underfoot blend into 3D-capped tips and tails, reducing swing weight and boosting durability so the board feels quick to pivot and built to last.
• Extra insert pack for deep days: An additional set of front-binding inserts lets you step your stance back for more nose float when it really dumps.

Who It’s For

The Almanac is for intermediate and advanced riders who want a directional, all-mountain board that absolutely loves to turn. If you like the idea of sizing down for agility, ripping clean carves, surfing pow, and still having one board that handles park laps and natural features, this Volume Shift™ shape is your new daily driver.
