Does this mean a renaming of the Kartel lineup? Not that I really care, I just like ON3P skis and thought Karl brought a lot of exposure for them.
edit: closer viewing shows maybe some K2s...

For clarity:
Karl has moved on. His call in the end, but we have other team members requiring similar support now, so we just couldn't offer what we used to. We made an offer for 2019, but also knew others could beat it. Obviously he didn't take our offer, though to be honest, we're still not really sure exactly what happened.
Name is changing - not because we have to (our brand, most don't know it's even named after him, and we stopped selling it as a "promodel" almost 3 years ago for various reasons), but because it feels right to reset and we were already talking about bringing the Jeffrey brand back in 2021.
No hard feelings - just business. We're appreciate the years of hard work he put in and hope to see him take the next step in his career, whomever that is with (K2 seems to be the one, but we're basing that on social media like everyone else).
It's opened up an opportunity for us to go after some new talent we've had our eye's on, so expect to see some new faces over the next year.
Seriously, this can’t turn into yet another ON3P thread....
