K2 Reckoner 102 - Review 2025

In a season fixated on a more traditional, hard charging attitude, K2 has come forward with a lightweight, playful option that can still rip hard on groomers and variable snow alike. The K2 Reckoner 102 is the thinnest underfoot in a line of more powder-oriented skis. They’re still fully capable of blasting through drifts of fresh snow, but can get on edge a little bit faster than their fatter counterparts. The K2 Reckoner is an awesome all mountain alternative to the stiff skis dominating the market, and can provide predictable and fun performance across most any conditions

The bases are made of lightweight aspen and fir. It has a decent amount of rocker, though not as much as a true powder ski, and the tips are soft enough to swallow up bumps and crud without buckling your knees. Underfoot, the Reckoner 102 is stable enough to handle all the terrain on the mountain, and absorbs impact well enough for you to be confident taking them off the ground. K2 claims that they shine in the park, as well.

Expert skiers and those just catching their stride will find much to love in the Reckoner. It’s versatility is hard to match, and it somehow balances that with being an incredibly fun ski to ride. For all that, it’s still incredibly practical and a serious contender for a dedicated single ski quiver, and can keep up with most any level of skier (check out this list  of other top-tier K2 skis).
