Re:	Registration Statement on Form S-8
	K2 Inc. 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I have prepared the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed by K2 Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the offering of up to 1,059,012 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, $1.00 par value per share (the “Shares”), pursuant to the K2 Inc. 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

In connection with this opinion, I have examined the Registration Statement, the Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws, as amended, and such other documents, records, certificates, memoranda and other instruments as I have deemed necessary as a basis for this opinion. I have assumed the genuineness and authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to me as copies thereof, and the due execution and delivery of all documents where due execution and delivery are a prerequisite to the effectiveness thereof.

On the basis of the foregoing, subject to the assumptions stated above and relying on the statements of fact contained in the documents that I have examined, I am of the opinion that the Shares, when issued in accordance with the terms of the Plan, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

I am admitted to practice in the State of New York, and am not admitted to the practice in the State of Delaware. However, for the limited purposes of the opinion above, I am generally familiar with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) as presently in effect and have made such inquiries as I consider necessary to render this opinion with respect to a Delaware corporation. This opinion letter is limited to the current federal laws of the United States, the laws of the State of New York and, to the limited extent set forth above, the DGCL, as such laws presently exist and to the facts as they presently exist. I express no opinion with respect to the effect or applicability of the laws of any other jurisdiction. I assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion letter should the laws of such jurisdictions be changed after the date hereof by legislative action, judicial decision or otherwise.

I hereby consent to filing this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, I do not admit that I am within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the General Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Very truly yours,

By:	/s/ Monte H. Baier
