K2 Alchemist Snowboard 2027

The Alchemist heads up K2's Landscape Collection: a directional freeride board for strong riders who want precision and stability at speed. For 2027 it gains the new S1 Pro Core and Recess3D shaping, cutting weight and swing weight while keeping the calm, damp ride it's known for.

Who it's for: advanced and expert riders who spend their days on big-mountain lines, fast groomers and deep powder.

Key features

• S1 Pro Core – 78 hand-assembled wood pieces: paulownia in the tip and tail to lighten swing weight, bamboo stringers for damping and aspen underfoot for snap
• Recess3D – CNC-machined recesses in the tip and tail strip out weight from low-stress zones, reducing chatter while keeping the mid-body stiff for control
• Spectral Braid™ – K2's patented variable-angle reinforcement, tuned so torsional and lengthwise flex behave exactly where they're needed
• SpaceGlass™ – US-made aerospace-grade pre-cured fibreglass insert that adds structure without adding weight
• HyperWeave™ – Full carbon biax weave for a big step up in pop and response
• Hybritech™ Construction – K2's light, hard-wearing build with trimmed sidewalls in the tip and tail
• Wax-Infused Sintered 4001 Base – Crown's hardest, fastest sintered base, which holds wax for longer for sustained glide
• Directional Camber – Camber profile with a directional set-up for edge hold and stability when charging
