K2 Cold Shoulder vs K2 Standard

How they compare

the K2 Cold Shoulder leans more powder, while the K2 Standard 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. The K2 Cold Shoulder has a other profile (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile), while the K2 Standard uses flat (neutral base between bindings; predictable, often paired with rocker toward tips/tail). The K2 Cold Shoulder is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range.
