The K2 Fatty ski boards, often referred to simply as "Fatties," emerged in the late 1990s and early 2000s as a variant of the snowblade or skiboard winter equipment category. Distinctly shorter than traditional skis, typically ranging between 90 to 100 cm, Fatties are renowned for their maneuverability attributed to their length and width. Many of these ski boards come with non-release bindings, echoing the non-release nature of snowboard bindings. Their design lends itself particularly well to terrain parks, making them suitable for jumps, tricks, and rails, but they're also adept at carving on groomed runs. For newcomers or those transitioning from snowboarding, the Fatties' compact design can simplify the learning process. While their popularity peaked in the early 2000s, with major manufacturers like K2 producing them in large numbers, the trend has since diminished. By 2021, the mass appeal of skiboarding had subsided, with many major producers either limiting or discontinuing their lines. However, dedicated brands and a niche community of skiboarding enthusiasts continue to cherish and promote the unique skiing experience offered by the likes of the K2 Fatty ski boards.
