Funny I was leaning toward the czar. What don't you like?...

By Ranked #145 - Big Mountain Freeride Skis January 28, 2009

Funny I was leaning toward the czar. What don't you like? too Soft, too light for crud/ not enough float? Why do you like the K2? what/where are you skiing? Finally what kind of skier are you? I'm 6' 150#'s and enjoy steep technical terrain and spend lots of time in the trees and bumps between major dumps. i already have a Mojo 90 and a monster 77 for crusiers and hardpack bumps, now I want a powder/touring ski that can still provide a good time getting back to the front side of the resorts.

I ski all the powder and trees in Northern BC, in the Powder King area. I love the K2 because it floats anything, smashes crud, rips bumps, and rails groomers. I and 6'1, 190#'s and I ski basically however my mood is, super aggressive, or really really mellow. I am not a fan of the Czar because in my opinion when I demoed it, it didn't have the right characteristics for me, especially in the crud, chop and bumps. It does have the wider waist though, so open bowls were super fun. It's all just my opinion really though. I suggest that you demo if you can, or go with your gut, because it's usually pretty spot on, at least for me.
