Poacher/Midnight - Review 2025

K2’s premium park offerings have taken their fair share of podiums, respectively. While they may be sporting some fancy new topsheets, these freestyle skis have withstood the test of time– with roots tracing back to classics like the Missconduct.

There are some slight discrepancies between the men’s Poacher and the women’s Midnight, but those can be chalked up to averaging out size differences. Both of these models slay features, and have the record to prove it.

Sitting at modest sizes underfoot, with a good amount of camber and a rockered twin-tip build- there’s nothing crazy about the design of these park skis. They’re more than capable of sliding rails and stomping landings consistently and predictably, and are no slouch when it comes to hooking your edges into groomers either.
