K2 Standard vs Nidecker Escape

How they compare

Both boards are designed for all mountain riding. The K2 Standard uses a directional twin shape while the Nidecker Escape is directional. The K2 Standard has a flat_rocker profile (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel), while the Nidecker Escape uses hybrid (rocker/camber) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). The Nidecker Escape is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. The K2 Standard targets intermediate riders while the Nidecker Escape is aimed at advanced riders.
