I mean realistically they suit his riding style really well, so I wouldn’t see why he would be sick of riding them.

Yeah the quality definitely isn’t there, but hell I’d love a chance to ski on them again. Would be super fun

I always had a feeling he had Chronics with honey Badger topsheet. I remember Andy Parry selling those on here years ago.

Line to K2, pretty easy swap. Makes sense that he works for them now

K2s been picking up tons of people on the skis and boots. Dope to see, and hopefully it makes room for lesser know riders that’ll fill those spots on other brands teams

Yeah but Khai is not a team skier as I thought, but actually working for them as the marketing director

Maybe he’ll bring on more park skiers and use some money on grassroots events or things that engage the public

This is fucking awesome. Gets me stoked when athletes turn their skiing careers into professional careers! Perfect life transition to keep skiing a ton but have far more financial stability and professional development. Congrats Khai
