Hey NS so I have recently bought some k2 recoils 2014. I also got an armada vip card which allows me to get the al dentes for about 300$. I need a ski that will last. in the past few years i have had problems with edge breaks. I ski park about 90% of the time. what do you think? sell the k2s and get the al dentes or keep the k2s and buy some hoodies with that card? thanks ill give +k for posts and comments

after my experience with the 14 al dente's and 14 recoil, the recoil is much more durable! The 2014 al dente had really weak edges

Keep the recoils because they've got a way sicker graphic imo and k2 make generally bombproof skis. Just buy some armada shit with the vip card.

despite the playfulness of the dente i would say keep the recoils. dentes are supposed to have edge problems but thats just what ive heard. good luck man

Definitely stick with the recoils if you're having durability issues, they are super sturdy and reliable skis

For 300 bucks why not put a fresh set of edges under your feet lol?!! I haven't heard anything about the edges pulling out or anything, I say fuck it, pull the trigger on em

2 totally different skis with about the same purpose, the Al Dante will be better all around though
