K2 SideStash Ski
WOW
By Evan Stevens
Ranked #8 - Telemark Skis and Alpine Touring Skis
January 28, 2010
I have the 181s, I am 6'2", 180lbs,mounted with dynafits. I mostly ski in the backcountry (99.99% of the time), and these things charge. Trail breaking is a dream with the tip rocker, and it also means you can swing these around faster in the tight trees. At the ski hill, the metal layers and sidewall construction mean that these things can plow through the chop like grandpa's Cadillac. So smooth and solid, even on the groomers. The 181s are a bit longer than my 184 Karhu's, but the running length is shorter with the tip rocker. ENJOY!!!!

Evan, I'm 6"2 - 175lbs and I'm skiing the 188 and love it. With the tip rocker it skis shorter then you would think. Go for the 188 if you have the option.

You think the 188 will be too much? I'm 6'1'' - 185lbs, and an aggressive skier. I ended up with a 2 yr old pair of Nordica enforcers that are fun but way to short (177), so i get tip dive, and was thinking of going for the 188s
