K2 Extreme

By Ranked #583 - All Mountain Skis October 7, 2008

I got suckered into buying these skis back in the 80's when they were being touted as the ultimate extreme ski(for hucking cliffs, mashing moguls, shreding couloirs,etc.)with input from Scott Schmidt and Glen Plake. I can honestly say they were pretty much absolute crap! The tips delaminated within a couple of weeks and had to be returned. As for performance they pretty much had a mind of their own(this from someone who skied proffesionaly every day of the season). Bottom line, demo before you buy and never believe the hype!

Why is an idiot reviewing skis from 20 years ago? BTW, I had the originals and I loved them.
