K2 Grateful Dead Qs Freeloader Split Package vs K2 Niseko Pleasures

How they compare

Both boards are designed for freeride riding. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. Both feature camber profiles — arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise. The K2 Grateful Dead Qs Freeloader Split Package is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range.
