"Tip and tail holes let you attach K2 climbing skins without clipping them over the skis edges " Is K2 making ski specific skins that attach via holes rather than the traditional tip loop / tail hook? question_140823 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 12:24:45 GMT Does anyone know how this board performs in powder? I am looking http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/K2-Slayblade-Snowboard/K2S0597M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_140818#question_140818 K2 Slayblade Snowboard Does anyone know how this board performs in powder? I am looking for a board that will float well but will also bite well on hardpack and I'm between this and the K2 turbo dream, which is all-terrain rocker. I've never ridden a rocker, and my current board is an ultra-fast cambered Ride No. 4, so it would be a big change and I don't know how I'll like the rocker, so I'm inclined to go for the Slayblade. Then again, if the turbo dream is much better in the pow but still handles well on hardpack, that might be better. Also, I know the rocker is much better than camber in pow, but would the flatline be better too? HELP!!! question_140818 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 12:11:49 GMT Sidestash 181 as a UT all-arounder?

Is this the ski and what size. question_140313 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:48:18 GMT 1). I'm 6', 185 lbs - I ski everything well, but don't http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/K2-SideStash-Alpine-Ski/K2S0667M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_140149#question_140149 K2 SideStash Alpine Ski 1). I'm 6', 185 lbs - I ski everything well, but don't do any jumping (bad knees). Would the Fritshi AT bindings work well on these? Afraid the Dukes will add too much weight uphill. 2). Have been happy on K2 Apache Chiefs (174cm) for 2 seasons, they're quite "turny" for a 98 underfoot ski. Should I get 174cm or the 181cm Sidestash? Does the early rise really make the ski - ski shorter? Or should I stick with 174cm since the Sidestash is a wider ski? 3). Are the K2 skins of a good quality/fit, or will BD skins work just as well. question_140149 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 00:09:53 GMT does any body know if i can get a size 10 boot in the K2 formula http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/K2-Formula-Snowboard-Binding/K2S0155M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_139757#question_139757 K2 Formula Snowboard Binding does any body know if i can get a size 10 boot in the K2 formula size medium question_139757 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 14:01:56 GMT Thinking of getting either the obsethed or the rossignol s7s...if http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/K2-ObSETHed-Alpine-Ski/K2S0544M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_139577#question_139577 K2 ObSETHed Alpine Ski Thinking of getting either the obsethed or the rossignol s7s...if I go with the obsethed what size should I get.

I ski just about all the time out west in Colorado and Utah, but will also every so often ski the East or Europe. I am thinking about mounting +3. Is that too far? I am a very aggressive skier and I ski some park but mainly freeride/all mountain. question_138886 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 10:38:14 GMT Can someone give me an idea of how the flatline tech rides on http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/K2-Slayblade-Snowboard/K2S0597M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_138498#question_138498 K2 Slayblade Snowboard Can someone give me an idea of how the flatline tech rides on the new K2 Slayblade? I am 6.2" and weigh in at about 90Kg. I normally ride softer boards around the 162 mark (never shorter) riding a Rome agent at the moment but I am finding it a little unstable at speed. Sorry, but age old question - Would I get away with a 161 or should I probably be looking at a 164 for all mountain?
