The K2 Wildheart is a perfect option for girls who predominantly love their powder but who also love an aggressive day on the pistes. You can really push this stick and the more you do, the more you get back with interest.

It's quite a short board, which could put people off, but there's no need; It's got a long nose and is perfectly light, and with it's directional shape it means there's no fear of getting lost in the powder, and even with it's medium flex it'll make sure to pop you out of any heavy stuff.

The profile shape is quite unusual as it is completely flat, but then rises at the tips with rideable areas. This large contact area gives great stability and control all along the board, harnessing all the power it can muster.

The raised ridable areas at the end give it good float in powder and good fun for presses. K2's Bambooyah base is very durable and K2 are so confident that they even give you a two year warranty on it

But it's not just a board for the backcountry. It's got incredible edge to edge control. It's super responsive for those quick transitions on the piste, which means it's pretty forgiving in it's nature, but maintains all the smooth elements you want at the same time due to that camber bend you have in the centre.
