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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf 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.
