Skis
K2 has produced quality products under the moniker "55" for generations, but even those may need to take a back seat to the new 5.5. Combining revolutionary Mod Technology with an advanced 18mm sidecut and an agile 69mm platform, the Omni 5.5 delivers high levels of performance and value. The Omni 5.5 is K2's best bang for the buck in the Intermediate to Expert All Mountain category. The K2 Omni 5.5 performance all-mountain ski has changed from a radial sidecut to a progressive sidecut.
Progressive sidecut has different curve shapes along different parts of the ski. Starting at the tail, as you move up the length of the ski to the tip, sidecut progressively increases. What this results in is the confident, quick initiation we desire for hard snow performance at the tip of the ski through underfoot, but with more forgiving, less aggressive turn shape from underfoot through the tail, allowing easier release in crud and powder.
Bindings
This ski comes complete with the Marker IBC 11 binding system. The all new innovative Marker / K2 collaboration has produced the IBC System. The IBC interface is designed to provide smoother overall ski flex for enhanced control and performance. Engineered as a complete systems solution, IBC offers state-of-the-art technology. Marker IBC 11 Binding that's ideally suited to beginning and intermediate skiers. Unlike many binding designs that use a slick plastic or Teflon AFD toe plate, the Marker AFD plate on the IBC 11 binding has a gliding, stainless steel construction that facilitates boot exit during backward twisting falls. The stainless steel design has a clear advantage: It resists dirt, abrasion and temperature changes far better than Teflon and plastic AFD bindings over the long haul for consistent performance that lasts through multiple seasons.
