Hola Amigos,
With all the new gear out there this year and the word of the year being “rocker” it’s time for us to help you get a grip on this “new deal” is both ski and board equipment! Today’s gear is quite cool to say the least. I personally have taken to fancy the new rocker revolution!
So let’s start working your way through this gear. 1st where can I try it? At my K2 @ Burton Demo center located in the Village Plaza (209) 258-7547! We have everything we carry in Kirkwood Mountain Sports!

I am putting the Aftershock for the Men’s pick today due to the mixed conditions, cold in the am and warming towards mid-day. A go anywhere ski, quiver of one. From Montes, to the Wall, Thunder Saddle to Ski School this ski can handle it all. The cool piece here, I was able to test it in Termas a season ago. All Terrain Rocker and stable, forgiving bur rock solid!
