K2 AMP 80 The K2 AMP 80 is designed for all mountain use but performs best within the marked runs in-resort. We enjoyed their versatility and forgiving nature during our 2013 on snow ski test in Kuhtai, Austria.

Despite this, they do perform well on-piste and enjoy the variety of conditions that skiers might find without straying from the marked boundaries. Whether that’s hard-pack, softer snow or moguls, the skis are versatile enough to enjoy the whole mountain, but just not off-piste. For an intermediate to advanced skier who’s perhaps looking to purchase their first ski after previously renting, they would make an excellent choice and a combination of tip rocker for easy turn initiation and high torsional stiffness make them both simple to use whilst also responsive and lively.
