Hey NS, my skis broke and i was looking through the Freeskier Buyers Guide and the K2 Press model got really good reviews and they arent expensive at all. I have never ridden on pair of K2's and I am want to now how people like the camber and rockered tips. If you could leave me some good input ill leave you some +k! Thanks guys!

K2 is relatively new to the game, so I would go with a company with more tried and trued prescence in the industry, like RMU or Bluehouse.

About the press i dont think the presses have symmetrical tip height, the back tail looks like the old k2 price point twins.

Also i dont the like feel of k2 skis, not my style.

My domains feel really durable, I mean they've got thick edges and the ski is pretty solid underfoot

my dad still has his old K2 race skis. I want to ski them but my boots don't exactly fit into the bindings and they're not shaped, are really long and haven't been used in years so i don't know how safe that would be. it would be fun though.

I have my 07/08 fujatives still, they are beat to hell, have no edge, and the base is actually rounding because there is no edge contact point underfoot. Sliding rails and ice for 3 years is the shit. These things are still durable as can be. I rode the Obsethed when I was in utah and it was the same deal, they were demoed from a shop so they were pretty beat up but they were so durable and kept shape so well. Im a k2 buyer for life.

K2's skis are very durable, they can really take a beating. They also go pretty fast and most of their skis works great all mountain so you don't have to live in the park.

K2 (founded in the 60s) IS "relatively new to the game" compared to say Rossignol (founded in like 1907).

You're always new to the game relative to someone.
