K2 ObSETHed Ski
Sliding Pleasure
By Seth Morrison
Ranked #4 - Big Mountain Freeride Skis
July 19, 2011
Main difference from last seasons skis is the Graphics. The color shown above is the 179, 189 comes in a blue top sheet. Performance wise these are more for soft conditions but do still perform well on hardpack, but you may notice tip flutter while going straight on catwalks and groomers. My mounting point is boot center at +4. I have skied this ski in all conditions from Chamonix ice to Alaska powder and make it work in all conditions as my daily driver. As an extra you can get the K2 pre cut skins for these. They work well and are quick and easy to take on and off using the tip and tail holes.

I have had 3 pairs of 169cm Seth Pistols and am in need of new skis desperately. I'm a 5'6" tall female, 140lbs and have a rotten knee. I am tempted to get another pair because they are such fun skis, but can you recommend something similar, but lighter? If not, I'll just have to mount some AT bindings on them. Not sure I ever want to ski anything else.

when you say you mount at +4 boot center is this the actual dead centre of the ski? (length wise) or sidecut centre? weight centre? how do they ride switch at +4?
