K2’s all-new 2010-11 A.M.P. Aftershock is the widest and most versatile, expert all-mountain ski in the A.M.P series. Taking over where the award winning Apache Xplorer ski left off, the Aftershock ski increases in width and includes All-Terrain Rocker for added versatility in softer snow conditions. Despite growing in width, you will be shocked by its precision and accuracy on firmer snow conditions due to the Metal Laminate Hybritech Sidewall construction. If you want one high performance ski for soft snow and firmer resort conditions, look no further than the K2 Aftershock.
