Pontoon

Everyone’s favorite fatty, the beloved 2009 K2 Apache Pontoon Ski is back in your face for more freakishly fun action. The brainchild of freeriding legend Shane McConkey, the K2 Apache Pontoon is designed for flotation, but with an innovative blueprint that challenges conventional thinking behind ski engineering. With its massive dimensions, surf-inspired rocker, and powder-specific sidecut that tapers toward the tail, the 2009 Apache Pontoon is the same—an easy-to-ski powder weapon. An imposing tip width of 160mm combined with an equally impressive waist width of 130mm ensures the tip of the K2 Apache Pontoon will stay above surface at all times. And while technically a powder ski, the Pontoon delivers sidecut where you need it most—right underfoot—for maneuverability on firmer conditions or just to get back to the lifts for a second lap. The ultimate high-performing powder tool, the 2009 K2 Apache Pontoon Ski is built to plane…and win popularity contests.

Khyber - 

The Khyber, Priors go to powder and tree board, has a wide nose, generous sidecut, and plenty of taper; these features provide excellent float and manoeuvrability in powder conditions and trees. Amazingly, the Khyber will still perform on hardpack, groomers and variable snow pack thanks to its mellow rocker camber combination profile which gives you the confidence to ride the board back to the lifts or on variable snow days. The Khyber makes riding tight trees and critical sections easier than you’ve ever dreamed possible.

Spearhead

The Spearhead provides perhaps the most versatile freeride performance in the Prior powder board lineup. Big alpine bowls to trees, the Spearhead handles it all.

Its moderate sidecut, taper and cambered tail gives enhanced performance and drive, especially when powering off the back foot.

It’s an ideal ride for anyone looking for powder performance, straight-line stability and decent edge grip in variable snow.
