K2 keep at the forefront of womens big mountain riding with the Northern Lite (left), their female specific splitboard with more tech than the Teriminator’s eye socket. With a custom flex pattern created with the fairer sexes anatomy in mid, it means it’s super responsive to a woman’s touch, whilst the narrowed waistline mean it won’t handle like an oil tanker either.

On the same end of the spectrum is the Wow Pow  (right), which although is a stiff stick with heaps of pop for the bluebird pow days we all dream of. Whilst you might be tempted to take this for a whirl in the park we’d recommend staying away from the park and pipe, and keep it in the terrain it loves.
