Burton Family Tree Hometown Hero vs K2 Excavator

How they compare

Both target freeride and powder terrain, while the K2 Excavator leans more all mountain. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. Both feature hybrid (rocker/camber) profiles — mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile. The K2 Excavator is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range.
