2009 K2 Disorderly Ski Review

Wed, 24 Dec 2008 13:03:52 -0800

Up until recently, our twin tips were designed to make different arcs while skiing forward or switch, but the Disorderly challenges conventional twin tip design. This ski is built with a symmetrical sidecut allowing the ski to make a consistent turn regardless of direction. Combined with a center-only mounting position, this ski comes with a more balanced feel in the air, sliding rails, or riding transitions in the pipe regardless of direction. Its bi-directional construction and topsheet design allows you to mount the skis in either direction you want to. We've also added layers of carbon str

2009 K2 APACHE XPLORER SKI REVIEW

Wed, 24 Dec 2008 12:59:39 -0800

The Xplorer is a brand new edition to the Apache series although the name goes back to '97; a ski designed for the same skiing pursuits. The Xplorer was and still is the ideal choice for those who not only spend their day searching for fresh turns in the backcountry but also laying down arcs on the groomers. The 84mm waist and generous 17/16 progressive sidecut perform well on both soft and hard conditions. The Titan Metal Laminate construction, MOD Monic and MOD Technology keep it rock solid and stable in any conditions you discover.

2009 K2 APACHE COOMBA SKI REVIEW

Wed, 24 Dec 2008 12:58:28 -0800

Doug Coombs worked for years developing powder skis built for adventure and we named this ski in his honor. The Coomba features a tip shape and progressive sidecut that are predictable and forgiving in powder and variable snow. Serious alpinists and aspiring backcountry skiers alike will appreciate the Coomba's balanced flex pattern and 102mm waist width that provide excellent flotation and easy handling. A percentage of all Coomba ski sales will be donated to the Coombs family. K2 will also donate a portion of the proceeds to the American Mountain Guide Association's Chad Vanderham Endownment, which is focused on improving guide education and safety.

2009 VOLKL UNLIMITED AC50 REVIEW

Tue, 23 Dec 2008 11:18:13 -0800

2009 Volkl Unlimted AC50

The Unlimited AC50 is yet another example of how Motion iPT Wide ride brings the versatility of wide, big mountain skis to a new height. Its new shape of 128-85-112 sounds wide, but when paired with iPT Wide Ride, its incredibly nimble. For good skiers who like to bust through crud and cruise through powder, yet still have a ski that can truly rip the groomers, the AC50 is the best solution weve ever offered.

2009 VOLKL BRIDGE SKI REVIEW

Tue, 23 Dec 2008 11:16:33 -0800

2009 Volkl Bridge

As the name implies, the Bridge between big mountain and park riding. The graphic borrows a little from both big-mountain and park-specific designs. The shape is 130-92-112mm, for the skier who wants a ski that rides great in the park, yet still has the width and strength to take on really deep conditions.
