K2 Apache Outlaw Alpine Ski - 2008 BCS

Be the first to upload your photo of the Apache Outlaw Alpine Ski. >
From the trees to the corduroy, powder to crust, the redesigned K2 Apache Outlaw Alpine Ski owns the mountain. With a wide, versatile footprint, the Outlaw can rule any resort in the Wild West. The K2 Apache Outlaw's favorite conditions are tricky steeps and powder-filled bowls, but it'll also run with the best of them when low snowfall or fickle temperatures relegate you to the groomers, thanks to a vibration-dampening MOD Monic elastomeric core. A metal laminate above and below the durable fir and aspen core provides a stable, torsionally stiff platform for advanced, all-mountain skiers. If you ski areas like Vail, Mt. Baker, or Squaw, where the snow falls but conditions can vary greatly from day to day, the Outlaw Alpine Ski will set you free. *Available for US shipment only.
Bottom Line: The K2 Apache Outlaw Alpine Ski knows no bounds.

I currently ski Rossignol B2's 174cm and they are about at the top of my head with no shoes on. I am an expert skier-20 years, nothing on the mountain i cant do or try, 179pds 5' 9'' tall and was thinking of going with 170cm. They come in 184cm, 177cm, and 170cm. I like the fresh back country and tree runs, but I also like ripping down the hard packs and tackling the moguls. What would be the best size for me, 177 or 170? I like it a little stiff and responsive, but must be able to float in the pow!

For more float and stability at high speeds the 177cm is a better option. It might feel a little bit long at first, but it's only 3 extra cm, nothing crazy. After a day you will be rippin' with these, and probably not regretting it.

I'm an expert looking to replace my Solomon X-Scream Series
I'm an expert looking to replace my Solomon X-Scream Series 179s, a great ski except for powder 6"+. Looking at Volkl AC50, K2 Apache Outlaw and the Solomon X-Fury or Lords. Ski west mountains once or twice a year and hit the powder when it's available. Realistically, I'm probably 50/50 hard snow to soft snow. Anyone have a strong recommendation among these or something else?

Second pair of Outlaws- and had the K2 Axis before- which I think became the Recon. Solid ski on Utah pow and crud- a bit of a handful when it gets really hard. Very nice for sure turns in most conditions. If you ski harder snow more often- think Recon or something similar with more of a side-cut. Love K2

I am looking for a wider ski that is somewhat forgiving. I'm 180 5'9" and an expert skier. I stay in bounds, but like to go all over from bumps, to groomers, even some trees. I'm thinking the 170cm. What kind of bindings would you recommend for these? I saw some K2 Xplorers in a shop and they looked pretty close to these. How do the Outlaws stack up to the Xplorers?

Outlaw has been a highly regarded ski for a few years now. Sounds like it would work perfectly for everything you are tyring to do. Binding choices are endless but some Look PX12s would be a good bet.These skis are wider at all points (tip/waist/tail) than the Xplorers. For your size and ability I would consider going for the 177s.

I just scored a pair of Outlaws from Tramdock. I went to the K2 website to look at what they've got to say about this ski. They indicate they've redesigned it (not just new tops, but new tips, etc.) What'll be the effects of the design changes? It may be a moot point, because I'm expecting the goods I got to predate the changes. Is that a reasonable assumption?

Tramdock skis are usually "last years" model. At the tramdock prices, who cares if they make minor adjustments to the ski the following year. I think you made a good purchase.

I'm 80 percent big mountain, hiking steeps, but I still love crushing the moguls too. Would the Outlaw be servicable in Moguls. I've got the Recons, now, but am interested in the Outlaw.

if youv already got recons, go bigger than the outlaws if you ski 80% big mountain - take a look at the dynastar pro rider, line prophet 100, salomon czar, to name a few.

They are not necessarily nimble through the bumps, but super smooth - its all about technique with these skis. Its not like they are super stiff and kick all mortal ass - but they won't ski for you like the recons, you've got to navigate your way. Still super fun ski - I love em.

I spoke with a Rep in a ski shop and he recommended going short (170cm) for Japan (12m - 16m of dry pow). Any comments on that?

um...short for Japan? what does that really mean? I skied in Japan for 3 years, and picked up my 180 V-explosiv skiis (96mm waist) while I was there (I am 5'8", 170)...perfect ski for meHow tall are you? Are you an aggressive skier?Personally, I am not a fan of skiis that are too short. I won't go shorter than 180 at this point...
