What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "The Gateway is my go-to board for showing friends around the resort. It’s forgiving enough for intermediate riders but still holds its edge when you're charging. Super fun in trees, the park, and even handles powder surprisingly well."When we’re ready to level up our riding across the whole mountain, we grab the K2 Gateway Snowboard. This directional twin is built to boost confidence and progression, with a mid-flex profile that strikes the perfect balance between playful and powerful. Whether we’re threading tree lines, laying carves on corduroy, or dialing in butters on park features, the Gateway gives us the stability and response we need to push further. A snappy aspen wood core delivers reliable flex and energy, while the ICG 10 Biax fiberglass and tip-to-tail carbon stringers add edge control without stiffening the ride. The Directional Rocker profile keeps the nose afloat in powder and the tail reactive for confident landings. With an Extruded 2000 base and stone finish for smooth glide and durability, the Gateway brings premium tech into a ride-anything shape, perfect for exploring every inch of the resort.
