If you ride park expect about half a season, possibly one full season depending how much you ride. Super fun ski but capped sidewalls are the worst imo.

I think they did update the construction but I would wait a year and see what people are saying. Shame because they look like a great park ski

From what I’ve seen firsthand they are basically one of the best park skis you can get. Relatively soft, light, playful, etc. durability is apparently the only problem

I dunno man, I guess it depends on how hard and often you smack the skis against metal rails, you idiot.

They did update the construction this year to go back to the triaxial braid that made the early 2010s skis (Seths, hellbents, maidens, shredditors, pettitors, fujas etc etc) famous for feel and durability. We will see how they do, my prediction is that they won’t delam as much anymore but edges still gonna rip, cap is cap

Not to mention they upgraded the sidewall to the same type of sidewall they had on the Poacher, too.

If they did changed up construction to make them more durable they should have changed the name cuz reckoners are dead to me after second day skiing them the edges ripped out, but no edge cracks. Super fun ski though.
Going to keep skiing shredditors until I can't find any more used pairs.

So insanely awful but the warranty is pretty great I've been through 4 pairs in 2 seasons and I haven't paid for one of them so if you buy from k2 just abuse the warranty and its worth it there great skis love the way they ski
