I've decided to get either the K2 Press or the Atomic Panic, so i just wanted the personal experience and recommendations before i choose. i'm 17, 6 feet and 181 pounds. i'm going to hit everything in the park with them in west coast conditions, i'm advanced and will mount them either progressive or true center. :)

The PRESS carves real well and even holds an egde on hard snow. With the flat JIB Rocker profile, we made a ski that surface swaps and butters with ease, but still construct it super stiff underfoot. We make the ski torsionally stiff, which helps the edge grip and make the ski not 'twist' in a turn on firm snow.

Add in thick edges and a thick base for abuse and the thing works real well. Super fun sticks.

its a super fun ski. had a pair last year but delaminated them after only 20 days or so of riding. its probably the best bang for your buck ski on the market right now.
