Engineered to instill confidence in the beginner women's boarder, the Metropolitan is the ultimate tool to develop your skills. Built to instill confidence in new riders and keep them coming back for more, the Metropolitan's foundation is a directional twin shape and is topped off with K2's Catch-Free Tune. This makes learning how to snowboard both regular and switch as easy as possible - as the snowboard will feel identical riding in both directions. The Metropolitan uses our Rocker Profile featuring our Catch Free Tune, meaning that the snowboard is flat in between the bindings with rocker just outside the bindings. This results in easy turn initiation and release of every turn. Easier release equals fewer falls, less time taking breaks, more time on the mountain, and faster progression.
