K2 Skypilot Snowboard 2026

Built With Sage Kotsenburg With Exploration on The Mind

The Sky Pilot is built around a slightly-wider than normal footprint, and features a “right in the middle” medium flex. It features K2’s 3DContour in the tip and tail, pulling the contact points up off of the snow, and achieving the “pivotability” that Sage was looking for in deeper snow. This ‘spoon’ in the tip and tail works in harmony with the new Carbon Y-Beam - adding snap and stability in the tail, and sending energy to the contact points in the nose - this means that you’ll get the stability and edge pressure that you want, without the unnecessary torsional rigidity.

Firm believers that everyone should be able to experience how amazing the mountains are, the Sky Pilot was designed with an all-gender approach - with scaled sizing, flex profiles, and waist widths to accommodate a smaller foot. 

PRODUCT FEATURES

• • 3D Base Contour – 3mm of 3D contour (spoon) that gradually blends from the running surface deflects soft snow, eases turn initiation, and remains predictable on hardpack. 

  • Volume Shift™ - We reduce swing weight and toe/heel drag by shifting surface area from the tip and tail to the waist of the snowboard. Downsize from 4-10 cm from your usual snowboard length.

  • Triax Glass - A fiberglass weave intersecting at three angles provides extra torsional stiffness and overall strength.

  • Carbon Y Beam™ - Increased power-transfer from underfoot to the front contact points helps increase edge hold and ensures the nose remain stable when it get's a bit hairy. Dual carbon strips from the back foot helps the Sky Pilot remain back-seat stable.

Base

• Wax Infused Sintered 4001 Base - Built using the hardest and fastest Sintered base material on the market from Crown, the Wax-Infused Sintered 4001 holds wax longer than other Sintered bases for a smoother glide, longer.

Core

• S1 Core - The smooth-flexing cousin to our A1 core, our S1 Core is 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.
