I've been searching everywhere for the details on this. How much are the tips rockered? Does anyone have a picture of the profile of Silencers or Kung Fujas? The videos on K2s website are useless!

The obsethed is what I would consider I very powder-oriented all mountain ski. The contact point is pretty far back, but the ski is a lot stiffer than your average luxury pow ski, especially in the tail. The camber under foot makes carving a lot of fun. The obsethed is definitely one of the most, if not the most popular skis K2 makes, because of its versatility. The kung fujas and silencers have no rocker in the tail, just the tip.

The Obsethed are very much so an on piste ski. Rode them in every condition last year in Utah. Hit mega deep pow in mcconkeys, then went to windy crusty crud at alta and groomers at bird. Held up magnificent in all conditions. Its my choice for a one ski quiver.

Thats is true they are versatile in that way, I just have a different idea of versatility as I when I think of versatility I mean a ski thats skis park well and also works in the woods/powder and on groomers. Not a ski that skis deep powder and tree well, as well as being able to ski groomers!

When I have looked at them they didn't have any tail rocker. Maybe a minuscule amount, but if so it wasn't even noticeable.
