Seth Morrison continues to be an innovator in big mountain skiing. His pro model, the K2 Annex 118 Skis are pow-slaying hard chargers that don't take no for an answer. A new tip profile initiates more predictably in variable snow, and the tail rocker/kick tail releases easily - handy in narrow chutes and tight trees. The new design is built with Seth on the brain, to meet his needs for stability and control while flashing the most technical lines. Meet your new best friend, Annex "Speed-Power-Madness" 118.

Product Details

Rocker Type

Powder Rocker – Powder Rocker is designed for unmatched flotation in deep snow. This tip has the most elevation and longest rocker and offers skiers a surfy feel with enhanced soft-snow performance. The camber still exists to ensure edgehold in firmer conditions.

Sidecut

Progressive Sidecut – Progressive sidecut is a combination of two different radii, or sidecuts, that enhance the versatility of wider-waist skis. Standard sidecut theory is based on using a single radius. This works well on narrower skis, but becomes overpowering on wider skis, especially in variable conditions. The use of progressive sidecut on wider waist skis guarantees improved turn initiation and hard-snow performance.

Shape

Powder Tip – Designed to be more predictable in soft snow conditions, these tips are designed to strike the perfect balance of maximizing float while reducing tip deflection. These tips are designed with a gentle arc and transition into the sidecut of the ski.

Directional Taper – A moderately wider tip than tail maximizes the ski’s performance in the forward direction. This means the ski makes a slightly different arc when skiing switch

Kick Tail – A short upturn lets the tail of the ski release in tight situations.

Core

Fir / Aspen / Maple

Laminates

Triaxial Braid – Triaxial braiding consists of braiding fiberglass around a wood core to enhance torsional rigidity and add control. Developed in 1988 by K2 engineers, the patented triaxial braiding machine interlocks strands of fiberglass around a milled wood core. This unique method produces skis with great torsional strength while maintaining the lively flex patterns inherent in wood.

Sidewalls

Hybritech Sidewall – Hybritech is a unique blend of sidewall and cap constructions. This combines the accuracy, power, and performance of sidewall underfoot with the lightweight characteristics and smooth turn initiation of cap construction.

Graphics

Seth loves his artwork. The Annex 118 features some crazy things, interpret for yourself.

Additional Features

K2 Tip Grommets/Skin Clip – The new freeride tip grommet is a low profile, clean and simple design that no longer requires a plug. The durable rubber coating disguises a slit designed to accommodate the Z clip for skin attachments, or to build a rescue sled.

Z-Clip skin compatible
