The K2 Amp charger is aimed at skiers who enjoy groomed slopes and love to carve their turns at all speeds. They are suited to a wide range of levels, from intermediate right up to expert and they performed particularly well on long radius turns during our 2014 on-snow ski test in Kuhtai, Austria.

Here's a ski that performs right up there at higher speeds yet is easy to turn and fun to ski at slower speeds too.
That's because the K2 AMP Charger is constructed so there's plenty of torsional strength, but the rocker tip really works well, allowing easy initiation of the turn.
You can feel the strength of the skis as you go through the turns, especially at higher speeds as the edge grip is exceptional.
One of our test team commented, 'they feel like GS skis at times but much softer into the turn making them really fun and nice to ski'.
Suitable for skiers looking to improve their carving technique right up to instructors who teach on-piste - the K2 Amp Charger is right up there with the top recreational piste skis we've tested this year.
