solid all around ski

By Ranked #6 - Alpine Park and Pipe Skis January 3, 2011

I love this ski because it performs well all over the mountain and you can still take it into the park just as easily as any other park ski. My biggest concern is how easily the top sheet scratches. Not only is the material so soft it may be possible to scratch it with your fingernail, but any scratches turn up white against the solid red background. After just 4 hours of skiing there were several noticeable scratches, and the tail even had two chips out where the material underneath was exposed. In case you couldn't tell, the top sheet is all one color red, with a solid matte background with numerous k2 emblems on the ski in a gloss finish. You can only see them if the light hits it right, otherwise they are invisible and it's just a red ski. It's got decent pop in the park and holds an edge well. Ive got dynastar px12's on it and they're pretty heavy, but that may come mostly from the bindings. overall the versatility is what really makes this a great ski
