Jones Storm Chaser 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. The Jones Storm Chaser targets expert riders while the K2 Excavator is aimed at advanced riders.
