Snowboard Review:
A matter of meters on the Turbo Dream and I felt comfortable, two runs later and I was happy to be hitting the Travis Rice butter pad and the bigger kicker line. It’s not often that you strap onto a snowboard that you’ve never ridden before and feel as at ease or more at ease than on your daily shred! Off jumps the K2 Turbo Dream felt unbelievably stable the rocker profile eliminating any unwanted twitchiness on the run-in and providing ample pop and effortless spin initiation. Despite being slightly more directional than other boards in the range switch riding was a pleasure, and the rocker profile really helped to make cab spins buttery smooth. Light in the air and forgiving landings what more could you want from a freestyle snowboard? How about great edge hold through the flat bottom and icy shaded wall of the Kaunertal Superpipe; apart from the Amplid Hi-Def, Atomic Alibi and K2 Zero, I don’t think I rode a snowboard as fluid through the pipe transitions and as fun and controlled out of the top; and they’ve been designed with Pipe riding in mind.
All this performance in the Park and Pipe, but the Turbo Dream has been made for riding backcountry kickers and for charging around powder bowls and tight trees! On the hard morning pistes the Turbo Dream dealt with short and long carves easily, in powder the TD felt cruise-y at high speeds and extremely agile at slower speed, much like the Endeavor Next Series. Although I didn’t hit any sculpted backcountry kickers, I did pop off some natural transitions; the rocker profile helped eliminate the sketchiness you get from riding tight transitions on a cambered snowboard, and run-ins on choppy spring crud were damp and chatter free.
The Turbo Dream is an extremely capable snowboard for riding all types of terrain, snow conditions and transitions. If you’re a relatively experienced snowboarder looking for an all mountain snowboard to ride all season long, you may just have found this season’s ride.

hey im interested in getting this board and i was wondering how it is at high-speed carving? how is fast carving on ice and hard-pack? does it wash out or does it hold its edge really well? is there an equivalent version of magne-traction on this board?
thanks.

No Magnetraction or the equivalent on the Turbo Dream. I found the Turbo Dream carved pretty well, and seemed to wrok fine up pipe walls… perhaps not the hardest carver, but certainly not a wash-out.

Hey Im looking to get a board that I can take all over the place. Like a freeride board. I would also like something that would work in the PA slush or in the pow in CO. I wear a size 10 boot… 150 lbs… 5’9”. Would this work? and what size do think would be best?

Hey, I have been on my K2Nemesis 158 for a few years now & it’s about trashed out. I only get 10 days in a year so it has been a great board for years. I am looking for speed, speed, & more speed that handles carving well. Is this the board for me. I’m 5’9” & 180, I was thinking the 161. If not the Turbo Dream then what other suggestions?
