I'm going to guess its a old promotional ski custom made for something or someone by k2. couldn't find anything doing a quick google search so its probably a one-off piece

post a pic of the bases. looks to me like someone stripped the topsheet, did that linework and then epoxied it. Also measure them and post the dimensions. My best guess from that pic is they are from the Kung Fujas series, which had that spruce core and the carbon stringers which are visible.

My friend worked at a shop last year and was given a pair of mindbenders that looked similarly. They existed to live on the shop floor as a sales tool to showcase carbon stringers and flex or something. The ones you have look older but maybe theyre in the same vein?

Those are probably old versions of what we call "POP" skis or "Point of Purchase" skis. They are made to accompany the ski models for shops to have a ski that visibly shows all the guts and tech. We still make them for new models and once and a while you see them get mounted up and used.

yeah we had a pair of QSTs with clear topsheets so you could see the construction for the same purpose
