so i went to check out the k2 disorderlys and the shop guy was telling me that i should really get the extremes instead of a symetric skis.  i want to now about flex pop etc, and i do park alot, and i ride the rest of the mtn too, but i ride it like its a huge park unless theres lots of pow.  if theres pow then i hit lots more natural hits then the park.
and i ride smuggs in Vermont to give you an idea of conditions i ride in

id say if you have a wider ski, the go for disorderleys, if its gonna be a one ksi quiver go extremes with a center or like 1cm back.

or go with a completley different ski like a centered kungfujas, they will slay powder and be good in the park. or the line blend, KF is 95 under foot, the blend is 100. both are killer one ski quiver skis. my friends got 179 centermounnted kungfujas and he loves em for ripping the mountain(eastcoast)

The Extremes are basically the PE's. main difference (maybe only? not completely sure) is the graphics.

i rode the extremes in new zealand this summer. i had been skiing Salomon Thrusters every day for basically all mountain and park. the last day there we got some fresh powder so i demoed some extremes. they were fun in the powder (but i had nothing to back that up with, it was basically my first pow day ever) and they seemed a lot heavier in the park then the thrusters, but im sure you could get used to it easily.

i had pe's from 04/05 and they were stiff, heavy and lifeless. from my understanding the extremes are the same unless they redesigned the ski.

They ditched the p-tex topsheet from the PE. I always hated the PE but the Extreme is like a totally different ski to ride. Lively, poppy, the feel quick. I preferred them to the Disorderly for everything. Even if it was for 100% rails and kickers I'd get the Extreme and centre mount it.

I have them and i love them!!
If your thinking about having a one ski quiver then yes go for something a bit wider,i would personnally go with the atomic pimp,or the line blend,but thats just me.And the extreme is the exact same ski as the public enemy,stiff and moderatly heavy, they are amazing from going everywhere in and out of the park,and the stiffness is great cause you are always in control wherever you are.
