2025 K2 Omen 90

The new twin tip lineup from K2 takes the Omen name and brings the brand into the next generation. The 2025 K2 Omen 90 is a competition-oriented ski that brings modern tech and shaping and puts it on the feet of competitive slopestyle skiers. This ski could be compared to the outgoing K2 Sight, but that ski had reached the limit of its age. Omen 90 takes the general philosophy of that ski and adds a new twist. It could be argued that the K2 Omen Team is the flagship model of this line, but the Omen 90 might find its way onto more skiers’ feet. This shape is generally more useful for park progression and improvement while the Omen Team at 96 mm underfoot is best when used by skiers who know they want a wider platform to stand on. Additionally, the 96 may offer more versatility in an all-mountain function while the 90 fits more interestingly into the terrain park.

K2 uses their aspen micro block wood core for a nice mix of light weight and high energy. This is a tried-and-true method of ski building, and it pairs well with the use of a triaxial braided core. They have been doing this for years, wrapping their wood cores in a triaxial fiberglass laminate to add stiffness and boost responsiveness. In addition, they incorporate carbon stringers into this braid to make it quicker and more agile. Most of K2’s new skis in the Reckoner and Omen lines use their new TwinTech sidewalls, and this Omen 90 is no different. By extending the vertical portion of the sidewall into the tips and tails of the skis, the durability is increased while the stability is also boosted. While there was never really an issue with the outgoing Sight in terms of durability, this TwinTech construction mixes the mobility of the Reckoner with the strength of the Sight.

At 90 mm underfoot, the Omen is highly useful for both all-mountain and park, but with the new build and intent, it does seem to want to wander more to the slopestyle avenue. With a bit more of a move towards symmetry, the Omen 90 has measurements of 119/90/113. This drop of 6 mm is closer to what we see in the wider Reckoners, making it more likely to be balanced both in the air and on the ground. This also means that the ski will create clean and round arcs of 16-meters at the 169 cm length. Another thing we love about this new 90 is the sizing range. It goes from a paltry 149 all the way up to a 185. This makes sense as park skiers tend to cross over many lines in their own sizing. Even though he’s not a park skier, per se, tester Grant Weiler notes that the Omen 90 is “Very responsive and fun all mountain twin tip. Expert skiers will find the speed limit on the ski a limiter. It’s a fantastic all-mountain on-piste and park ski.” That’s the blend we’re looking for, even from more of an all-mountain skier like Grant.

With the advent of the Omen line, K2 is making a move with their twins. This comes on the heels of years of Poacher/Sight ski construction and technology. While those skis still did their job and had their place, it’s time for some modern updates that take skiers into the next generation of freestyle skis. The smoother flex and lower profile in the tips and tails are the big culprits of the move here, taking these Omen 90’s and placing them at the top of the twin tip category.
