Description

ATTENTION: The manufacturer reuses the scrap material for the soles of these skis. The colours of the soles are random and beyond our control. They can be either black or white, or one black and one white.  

The K2 Empress has a bispatulated shape typical of freestyle skis, as it allows you to ski backwards without difficulty and therefore offers maximum options for tricks. OK, we're starting out strong by telling you about switches and tricks but don't worry, this ski is really easy to handle even when you're still a beginner!  

What is the programme for the K2 Empress ski?  

From learning the basics on the easiest slopes, to the first detours on the bumps on the edges of the piste to the first real freestyle session in the snowpark, the K2 Empress women's ski will follow you in your progress. Right from the start, you will benefit from the playability and accessibility of this ski, which is very easy to handle thanks to its double rocker. Entering and exiting curves is easy, and it is almost instinctive to pivot and turn short. Rather reassuring for those who are afraid of not being able to turn or stop. Once you're comfortable, you can set the pace by taking advantage of the grip offered by the classic camber, or pass by the edges of the piste to have fun with soft snow or small powder. Finally, for your future sessions in the park, know that the DuraCap construction is very robust and protects your ski against impact. 

Who is the K2 Empress ski for?  

This model will be perfect for intermediate skiers or beginners who are a bit sporty. If you have an affinity with snow sports and thrills and are looking to learn to ski or progress in freestyle, the K2 Empress is for you!

Tips and advice

How to choose the length of your skis?

How to choose the size of your piste and all-mountain skis?
On glisshop.co.uk, you may feel overwhelmed by the amount of products we sell. How can you find the right skis, which ones can suit your level, your style or your budget?

Your options: 

1. The advanced search engine: You'll find it everywhere on our website, as a sidebar on our listing pages. It allows you to select conditions and refine your selection: brand, level, style, etc. When you select them, only the relevant products will show. 

2. You can contact us on the 020 3129 3301: skis feature fine technologies and affect your safety. It is important to make sure that the skis you've selected will suit you. Call our landline and get in touch with our team for any questions regarding these products. 

During the process or your order, we'll ask you to complete a form about the mounting of your bindings. With these details, we will be able to mount the bindings with the correct settings. The release value of the bindings is set by a professional skiman, and according to the norm AFNOR FD S 52-748.

If you don't have your own ski boots when you order, the bindings will be pre-mounted. The final settings can be done :

- by a shop if you are renting your ski boots

- by our skiman : you can call us for any technical questions. Our skiman will do the final settings for you. Telephone : 020 3129 3301

All skis you purchase on our website are factory-waxed and tuned. This means they are ready to hit the slopes. However, gear tends to wear and in order to keep it in its best shape, you need to maintain base and edges on a regular basis.

Maintaining your skis is essential for a smooth glide and a solit grip. Frequency of maintenance may vary depending on how often you use your skis, or on how damaged they are. We recommend you to wax them every 10 riding days and at the end of the season. Edges need to be tuned up to 2 times per season if you want to keep a good edge control. However, don't overdo it. Tuning is basically scraping off material. If you do it too often, the edges will vanish after some time.

When your base is damaged and shows shallow scratches or rock gouge, it is possible to repair it.

You can get these repairs done by professional ski shop, or if the gouge is only superficial you may repair it yourself. To do so, you will need special tools and materials such as wax, Ptex for repairing bases, edge sharpeners, etc. You can find them on our website.

All products benefit from a manufacturer guarantee, as long as the damage is caused by a manufacturing defect (may it be hidden or obvious).

Usually, the manufacturer guarantee lasts two years.

Only the manufacturer is able to decide if there has been a 'manufacturing defect' or a 'misuse'. Glisshop is only an intermediary between you and the manufacturer.

The manufacturer's guarantee will not apply if the problem comes from a misuse.
