K2 Grateful Dead Qs Freeloader Split Package vs K2 Parker Szumowski Broadcast Pro Ltd

How they compare

the K2 Grateful Dead Qs Freeloader Split Package leans more freeride, while the K2 Parker Szumowski Broadcast Pro Ltd leans more all mountain.

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 stiff range.
