K2 Gateway Pop 2027 – All Mountain Snowboard

Description

The K2 Gateway Pop 2027 is a directional twin all-mountain snowboard built for intermediate to advanced riders who want one board capable of handling everything the resort throws at them — open groomers, powder stashes, tree lines, and park features alike.

Built on a combination camber profile with camber between the inserts, the Gateway Pop delivers the pop on takeoffs and high-speed carving stability that its flat or rocker counterparts can't match. Its traditional directional shape pairs with a mid-flex aspen core for snappy edge changes without sacrificing control in variable snow. K2's ICG™ 10 Biax fiberglass layup integrates tip-to-tail carbon stringers for added snap and edge hold in choppy conditions, while the Extruded 2000 base keeps maintenance simple and glide consistent.

Who it's for

If you're an intermediate rider ready to stop second-guessing your gear, the Gateway Pop gives you the confidence of a proven shape with the performance boost of added camber. Advanced riders who want a versatile daily driver — equally at home threading trees or hitting a kicker — will appreciate how much tech K2 packed into this price point.

FAQ

• What's the difference between the Gateway Pop and the standard Gateway? K2 added camber between the inserts on the Gateway Pop, which increases pop off jumps and carving precision at speed compared to the original Gateway's profile.
• Is the Extruded 2000 base hard to maintain? No — extruded bases are among the easiest to care for and repair, making the Gateway Pop a low-hassle choice for riders who'd rather spend time on snow than in the wax room.
