As the only women’s-specific park ski in K2’s lineup, it comes as no surprise that the K2 Midnight Women’s Ski is back by popular demand and, aside from a sweet new graphic, will return unchanged for the new season. Though there’s not much competition within its immediate family, the Midnight remains a standout performer amongst the greater freestyle crowd and has enlisted the expertise of K2’s Carbon Boost Braid to achieve this. In stretching longitudinally along the length of the ski, these woven carbon stringers work to stiffen the Midnight’s flex, amplify its pop, and elevate its rebound, resulting in a ride that comes alive in a creative setting. Thus, the Midnight becomes the quintessential freestyle performer that—when combined with an ultra-beefy sidewall—has officially staked its claim as one of the toughest to ever do it. This unmistakable air of durability has earned K2’s park skis many a crown by ensuring that these tricked-out sticks can withstand the relentless beating of rail slides and air stomps, year after year. Though it’s easy to write the Midnight off as a one-trick pony, this 88mm queen is far more than just a park ski and boasts the robust shape required to cruise the entire mountain with ease. As a result, the K2 Midnight Women’s Skis appeal to the summit-to-park freestyler who, like her skis, prefers a balanced ride that excels beyond stylish trickery and into the realm of all-mountain expertise.
