I'm transitioning from alpine to AT gear and am considering either the Verdict or K2Coomba with Freeride bindings. Any thoughts on comparison of those two skis? Thanks.

I have the Verdicts. Fast. Stiff. These definitely do not have a softer flex. While not as stiff as the Zealot, these still feel like skiing on rebar--but in a good way. So, yeah--I agree with the other reviewer: Coomba is a much softer with more flex. Good ski--I know several people who have them and love them. Just worlds apart from the Verdict.

two super different skis. the coomba has a softer flex and will be a super fun ski, and if you like a softer ski it would be the way to go. However, the BD is my go to ski. the Verdict is killer for every type of snow. i love it in the Tahoe snow, and the Utah pow. so that said i like the BD over the K2.
