This is one of the skis we are most excited about after visiting SIA. Just a couple of seasons ago many people thought 105 was the sweet spot for ski width, but as more and more skis have swelled past 115mm under foot the new norm for width is becoming much wider. The 2013 K2 Pettitor is Sean Pettit’s first pro model ski, and definitely belongs to that “new-school” mentality clocking in at 120mm under foot. It still has plenty of side cut though, so along with a decent amount of torsional rigidity, expect it to perform fairly well on hard pack.
Of course early rise is on board for plenty of float in deep snow, and even though this ski is obviously meant for charging big lines just like Sean, based on the specs, we expect it to perform well across a wide range of conditions, for most decent skiers.
Stay tuned for an on-snow review of this one in the coming weeks, where hopefully our intuition about this being a super fun ski will prove correct.
There has been even more interest in the MFD Alltime Binding system than what we saw last season. For 2013 the system has been improved. New fastening system for the switch plates allowing skiers to change bindings from ski to ski in about 5 minutes. The price has gone down. The boys have also added a heavy duty crampon to the system which opens the doors to even more terrain. We were impressed to say the least.
MFD’s have the lowest stand height of all high DIN AT binding systems. Pendulum Pivot™ brings your pivot point higher, allowing you efficient ski touring while using your Alpine Bindings so you won’t get tired as fast. Alpine down hill bindings directly screw to the MFD ALLTIME channel. The pole activated climbing riser is the quickest, highest and most efficient riser system on the market.
For 2012 comes the Contour+ POV Camera with more new features that we at SkiersRealm deemed totally necessary. The plus version of the camera has now been fitted with a Bluetooth radio giving the connect ability to your smart phone (iPhone iOS and Android OS) or Recon goggle. This allows full control of settings and video playback. This might seem like a feature that is not worth the extra cost. You would be wrong. The ability to see real time video helps save time when getting setup before you get gnarly on the hill.
