K2 Almanac vs K2 Passport

How they compare

Both target all mountain and freeride terrain, while the K2 Almanac leans more powder. 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 Passport is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. At $549.95 vs $559.95 MSRP, the K2 Passport is the more budget-friendly option.
