Ready for a shake up? K2 have thrown a curveball right into the heart of the piste category with their all-new Disruption series featuring the brand’s new stealthy-sounding Dark Matter Dampening (DMD), designed to improve the quality of the contact the edge has with the snow.

Drawing on K2’s infamous freeski heritage, the new Disruption range is all about creating mad pistey angles and sparking inbound arcs.

The SC Alliance is the shorter radius, more playful of the two skis in the women’s Disruption Alliance range and we loved it for its audacious versatility in all turn shapes. “You can really dance between the edges and carve in so many different rhythms, a real fun choreographer,” says Keren.

If you’re looking for a bit more grunt on your groomers, the other ski in the range – the MTi Alliance – could well be your sister of shred. With a full sheet of metal and a wider turn radius, the MTI Alliance skis with a more powerful character making it ideal for speed demons looking to lay down some GS turns. “The MTi would make a great ski for instructors moving through the higher levels of the BASI system, fulfilling that wider turn radius and remaining aggressive without being a dedicated race ski,” says Amy.

The SC Alliance on the other hand is ideal for intermediate to advanced skiers. Built with a wide shovel in the front, ideal for cutting through any crud or slush, a low-density yet resilient Aspen core and a slalom-style radius of 12.6m, the SC Alliance felt stable and strong at high speeds yet was incredibly manoeuvrable and accessible, pinging from turn to turn with a lively pulse. Stable and grippy with bags of control, if you’re looking for a real smooth operator, the SC Alliance could well be the rig for your pistey gig.
