I have been riding the K2 recoil on the east coast for two and a half years. I loved the recoil for its all-mountain capabilities. I’m looking for a ski that is lighter than the recoils but is still all-mountian capable.

What are your experiences with these skis.

What other skis would you recommend?

What aspects of the recoils made them great all mountain skis for you? Flex, shape, rocker/camber profile...?

Rocker camber profile. Just enough rocker so I could float in some moderately deep snow and it also helped tremendously in the trees. I loved the recoils side cut and I was able to initiate aggressive short turns. It was also very stable on jumps. The only problem I had with it was it was a little heavy for a park ski and stiffer than I liked.

People tell me that the FR's are a beefed up recoil, however they seem to have a tremendous amount of rocker, which probably isn't good for the east coast.
