The K2 Alchemist Snowboard is a directional big gun engineered for full throttle freeriding. A stiff, full camber build ensures tons of power and edge hold, while its setback stance and upturned nose keep you on top of the snow, even in the deepest conditions. K2 has left no stone unturned when it comes to technology. The new S1 Core, Spectral Braid, and SpaceGlass Tip combine for a super powerful and stable ride that will have you outrunning your friends, and its high-grade carbon and fiber glass construction means that it's super light and nimble. From cliff drops to face shots, this is the only board you'll ever need.
Directional Camber Profile – The most responsive camber profile in the line features camber running from in front of the front foot to the tail of the board with slight early rise in the nose. This gives the rider the most precision and control possible in any terrain while still floating effortlessly in the deep stuff.
Flex Rating – 9 (1 Playful - 10 Precise)
S1 Core – The smooth-flexing cousin to the A1 core, K2's new S1 core in designed to be damp underfoot and stronger than hell. Constructed from bamboo, aspen, and paulownia, the S1 core lets each wood do what it's best for. Tip-to-tail bamboo stringers add snap, durability, and dampening underfoot, and are balanced out by lightweight paulownia in the midbody, tip, and tail to help reduce swing weight. Underfoot, aspen and bamboo are placed at 30° angles to increase strength, supercharge edge-to-edge response, and increase pressure distribution along the edge.
Triaxial Glass – A glass laminate with diagonal layers that adds torsional stiffness for increased stability and improved edge hold. The fibers three layers of fibers are woven at 45° , 45° , and 0° . This makes for a more responsive ride longitudinally and torsionally.
Spectral Braid™ – K2’s Patented Spectral Braid is a first-of-its-kind variable angle reinforcement that allows for precision tuned torsion and flex by altering the fiber orientation along the length of the snowboards. This makes snowboards feel lively, energetic, and remarkably composed.
SpaceGlass™ Tip – An American made Aerospace grade precure fiberglass core insert used to provide unmatched structural performance at reduced weight. SpaceGlass™ inserts increase edge hold along contact points, reduce chatter, and provide unequaled durability.
Carbon Power Fork™ – Pre-cambered Carbon Power Fork™ additives are strategically shaped to offer greater response and energy return by increasing the width toward the tail - allowing for more material to be engaged, and more energy to be created the harder the tail is flexed. Adds snap to ollies, increases edge pressure, and gives energy in and out of turns.
recess3d – By reducing the amount of materials in low-stress zones, K2 is able to reduce the swing weight of your snowboard, while also reducing chatter in the tip and tail - all without sacrificing strength.
Wax-Infused Sintered 4001 Base – Built using the hardest and fasted sintered base material on the market, the Wax-Infused Sintered 4001 Base holds wax longer than other sintered bases for smoother, longer lasting glide.
SnoPhobic Topsheet – Helps eliminate snow buildup when it gets deep.

The K2 Program Snowboard Bindings are here to slay deep pow and big lines, not the environment. Dropping in with a stiff, powerful flex built around K2's all new Module™ Chassis, these freeride-ready bindings are engineered with key components derived from sustainable materials like castor beans and sugarcane. Mother Earth approves, and so should you. Get with the program!
Flex Rating – 9 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
Module™ Chassis – Featured on all K2’s new bindings, the Module chassis is composed of a fiberglass infused nylon, and minimizes “dead” board flex zones directly underneath the binding. This in turn allows the rider to feel the flex and response of the entire board length, while providing maximum support, security, comfort, and vibration damping.
3° Sugarcane EVA Canted Harshmellow™ Footbed with Pods – Derived from scrap native sugarcane raised with minimal impact on rainforests, the footbeds on the Module chassis represent a huge leap toward the goal of carbon net-neutrality. Integrated with K2’s proprietary Harshmellow™ technology, these eco-conscious footbeds provide grip, cushion, and performance for all day riding in every condition.
This Grips™ Basepad – K2’s proprietary rubber compound, integrated onto the bottom of the Module chassis, provides vibration damping and cushion between board and binding, reducing fatigue and joint impact.
FR1 Highback – The new FR1 Highback harnesses the strength and sustainability of the castor bean, and represents a huge step toward K2's goal of carbon net-neutrality.
Forward Lean Block
Single Density Ankle Strap – K2’s new single density ankle strap harnesses the strength and sustainability of the castor bean, and represents a huge step toward the goal of carbon net-neutrality.
Single Density Toe Strap – K2’s new single density toe strap harnesses the strength and sustainability of the castor bean, and represents a huge step toward the goal of carbon net-neutrality.
MultiMount™ Ankle Strap Mount Points – Featured on the Module™ Chassis, mulitple mount points for the ankle strap on the Module chassis allow for a fine-tuned, custom fit.
When your riding style shares more in common with a heat seeking missile than a snowboarder, you need boots that can hang. Enter the K2 Thraxis Snowboard Boots. These bad mama jamas top the stiffness scale with a 10/10 flex rating, equipping you with the power and precision needed for hard charging descents. There's a full Boa setup inside and out for a snug, responsive fit, and it's supported by an Intuition Pro Foam liner and a Vibram outsole. Packed with K2 quality and premium construction throughout, these boots are the crème de la crème for furious freeriders and manic meat huckers.
Flex Rating – 10 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
Rubber Reinforced Flex Zone Upper – Abrasion resistant reinforced outsole rubber is placed in areas of high stress to extend the life of the boot and increase durability.
Intuition® Pro Foam 3D Liner with SpaceHeater™ – A liner designed for comfort and warmth, from start to finish. It features reflective heat blanket panels that work to trap heat in and keep cold out. These reflective heat blankets work alongside heat moldable Intuition® foam, internal J-Bars, and 3D molded dual-density EVA insoles to keep your foot comfortable and warm all day long.
Boa® Conda™ Liner Lacing – A patented K2 liner lacing system that uses a urethane harness to gently hug your ankle, creating unrivaled heel hold. Boa® Conda™ allows for adjusting liner tightness and heel hold on the fly from outside of the boot, even with gloves on.
H4 Coiler BOA® Fit System with TX3 Lacing – BOA®’s first textile lace in the snowboarding category, TX3 is constructed from recycled PET with a structural core. This lace provices a softer, more flexible look similar to the characteristics of a traditional lace but the superior closure of a BOA® system.
3D Dual Density Footbed
Vibram® V5 Outsole – Vibram® V5 Outsole features a full EcoStep rubber (30% regrind) with and Harshmellow™ pods under the toe and heel to reduce noise underfoot. The V5 Outsole is the perfect combination of sustainability and performance.
Harshmellow™ – Harshmellow™ is a magical dampening system that replaces industry standard foam dampening materials. Harshmellow™ is strategically placed to dampen vibration underfoot to provide for a more “quiet” feel underfoot, reduce vibration from impact, and reduce fatigue while snowboarding.
Endo™ 2.0 – Endo 2.0 is the most technically advanced boot construction available. An injected heel counter construction adds strength and durability to your boot, giving it the same response season after season. The Endo 2.0 design allows for a more precise and smooth flex with a snappy rebound to power you out of any landing or turn. With an ultra durable TPU construction, the Endo 2.0 provides lasting comfort, response and durability for all styles of riding.
S’Cafe™ Coffee Mesh – With functionality and sustainability in mind, K2 coffee mesh is made from recycled post-consumer coffee grounds that is combined with post consumer recycled polyester. This mesh enhances odor control and moisture management of our standard lining mesh and is made from 95% recycled material with no added chemicals.
