Year” will turn 24 years of age. (more…)

Check out the K2 booth from SIA this year. The 2012 K2 skis are only getting more legit than last year and they’ve also introduced a new backcountry tools lineup that is packed full of innovation.

A look at the all new 2012 K2 Pon2oon!

The boys @ Nimbus have released their 3rd webisode for the 2010. En Route Plan B is inside and waiting for you along with a whole mess o’ pics. Some awesome shots, all the way from the Cascades to the Oregon Coast that will no doubt make you understand why we call this amazing state Home.

The K2 obSETHed’s have finally been ridden and reviewed. Read on to see if they live up to the hype.

Collin Collins has been giving his 2011 K2 Hellbent Skis the business at Alta Utah. Check out this video using his new Contour HD POV camera in awesomely creative ways. Sounds like the boys (Collin Collins, Brady Perron, and Josh Bishop) have been touring Little Cottonwood Canyon almost a dozen times already and the lifts aren’t even open until this weekend. I would like to see more edits from Collin as the season gets underway.

Iconic rock band Iron Maiden and K2 Skis will shred metal and snow together this winter with the release of the K2 Iron Maiden Limited Edition Ski. Only a limited amount of these unique skis will be made available through select ski retailers during the 2011 winter season.

Three years ago I was lucky enough to find myself in possession of a pair of K2′s Limited Edition PBR Brewskis. Originally I didn’t plan on mounting them, instead they were going to grace the wall above my wax bench due to their rarity. I eventually decided a ski that unique deserved to be ridden, and for the last three years they’ve been my boards of choice on most days.

Things have changed in the last couple of seasons though, with all of the kids talking about rocker this and rocker that, so I’ve slowly come to the decision to retire the Brewskis to the shop, and that means I need to replace them with something equally versatile. Fortunately I’ve got a few specialized tools in my quiver, including some Pontoons for deep days, old and Salomon Gun’s for park days. That means the ski I replace the PBRs with needs to be versatile enough to ski pretty much anywhere, but more than anything it needs to be well rounded (and like I mentioned, it’s gotta have rocker).

Based on my above criteria I’ve narrowed my choices down to Armada’s JJ, K2′s ObSETHed or Rossignol’s S7 all of which are rockered at the tip and tail with camber under foot for cat tracks, traverses and harder days. Also, all three of these skis get rave reviews from pretty much everyone that skis them.

Read on for more comparison between these three sticks, and if you have some input on which one I should ski this year sound of in the comments.
