K2 confirmed it is developing its first line of ski boots, which will be launched for the 2013-14 winter season.

 

The comprehensive 2013/14 K2 Ski Boot collection will be unveiled to the media and dealers at special launch events and the SIA and ISPO tradeshows in late 2012 and January 2013. It will be available at retail later that year.


K2 Skis celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2012, but has been making snowboarding boots for more than 25 years. It also makes Madshus cross country and Nordic boots, K2 inline skates and Zoot Sports triathlon footwear. Its sister brand Full Tilt makes three-piece ski boots.


“Our success is based on consistently providing innovative product that makes skiing more fun and approachable for a wider variety of participants. It all starts with the comfort and performance of ski boots,” said Anthony De Rocco, president and CEO of K2 Sports, which is a unit of Jarden Corp.’s Outdoor Solutions segment.
