K2’s Winter in Utah for “SWEEP”

If you spent last winter driving up Big Cottonwood Canyon, then the word “sweep” should be ingrained in your memory too. Windshields won’t clean themselves.

Every so often, a winter comes along that completely redefines the word powder. Think back to 1983. When this happens, typical get thrown out the window for atypical, and 12" powder days get switched out for waist deep refills. Goes without saying that this was the case in Utah last winter, and K2 took full advantage of that.

Most morning's started off in the Brighton parking, with a trunk full of decks from the new Landscape Collection. Melissa Riitano, Caley Vanular, Aya Sato, David Djité, and Sage Kotsenburg were able to conduct some R&D in the side country, and it's safe to say everything was smooth sailing.

We can only hope that you'll have to sweep your windshields again this winter.
