haha sry guys, it was caps-lock.
Yeah I really want to know which twintip ski that would fit me best! NOT A POWDER SKI.
I'm 182 cm, 65 kg I ski much park but also much slope and a little powder. I'm a pretty good rider!

I'm going to have to go with the invaders for being the most innovative and progressive all at a very low price.

I hope you when you say cheap you mean affordable, and not poorly made. K2 makes some of the best skis on the market. I've owned a couple pairs of'em and they've held up exeptionally well. That combined with the fact that they are also more affordable than some other ski brands makes them a great buy.

wow look into the subject befor you make comments.... they are one of the few companies that make there skis from woodcre not 50/50 all wood rather then foam which mean they last longer because foam deteriorates over time and looses its flex patterns. There PE's also have a thinker eged and harder base (lower p-tex 3000 rather then 4000 i think) which makes it more durable

pistols were some of the cheapest skis I have ever owned. What other ski on the market is transparent, as in you can see through it? Oh ya not putting a mounting plate in the ski so all the bindings would rip out was another quality product from k2.

hahhahahaha whoaaaaaaaa no way!!! the k2 rep is talking bad about k2 skis???? Thats crazy, Ive never heard that before.

Also youre just talking about the fujitive...one ski they make. Its decent along with the public enemy, but their fat/all mountain skis just dont cut compared to other products out. Sorry its a known fact.

Wow so your rep is giving you examples of at a clinic of why k2 skis are the best skis on the market.....god damn do you believe every word the reps tell you? You do realize their job is to sell skis.... they come up with all kinds of "statisitics" as to why their skis are the best are you really this dumb kid?

listen dude your everythign that is wrong with skiing these days focusing way to much on what you have and what is great. its not about the look its bout the skiing and who cares what your riding cause your bound to fuck up your skis and everyone has diffrent prefrences i am going by what i hear from customer and what i have tried because no one has tried all the skis that are out there so you go by what you hear and what you have tested at demo days as for what my reps have told me of course there out to sell skis but facts are facts im not saying k2 is the best on the market(i dont ski k2 and im not buying k2's this year) but the way they are constructed and the way they hold up it a testament of what kinda product they make

im totally with you everyone can have there own opinion express it as you wish but dont bash it. diffrent styles skillz and size require diffrent skis so bad mounthing somones skis or wtv thats your opinion but whats right for you is not right for someone else

tanners gorrila stlyle dont suite shane's OUTLAW and shane would not ride t-halls and both probably have opinions on all the skis out there

First off, Pistols aren't transparent, Fujatives are. That alone tells me you don't know much about K2 skis. Second, Pistols are no longer made, they were replaced with the Seth Vicious, which is an awesome all-mountain ski (I know, I own them). And lastly, K2 skis do have a binding mat so that the bindings don't rip out (a quick glance at the K2 Factory Team website would tell you this).

Wow do you get any dumber? First of all I said PISTOLS didnt have a mounting plate, i didnt say anything else about any of their other skis past or current. So stop making assumptions it makes you into an ass.

Second of all k2 pistols are transparent dumbass. I realize the fujitives are transparent that was on purpose. HOwever get some pistols and hold them up to the light. The tip of the ski you can clearly see light coming through from the other side. So you were pretty much owned....any other dumbass questions youd like to make?

Again how do you want me to prove it? There arent fucking pictures of it and that really is the only way to prove something on here. Does anyone else on here know about them being transparent? You could start a thread asking but they definitley were. Youre wrong tough guy!
