K2 is the original American Ski and Snowboard Brand, founded in 1962 in Washington State. It started with a shop. A garage. A barn. An island. It started with an idea. It started with belief. It started with madness and mistakes. From a garage brand to a garage brand gone global. For now and always, K2 continues to thrive with innovation, craftsmanship, and commitment.
