If you were around in the late '80s and followed skiing, you might remember a versatile, all-mountain K2 ski called the Extreme. This season K2 brought back the heritage and tradition, but the only thing that remains of the predecessor are the graphics. The new K2Extreme sports a twin-tip profile and amazing torsional strength to withstand botched landings and other intentional abuse. K2 used a vertical urethane/ABS hybrid sidewall design that reinforces the structural integrity without dragging down the easy swing weight in the fir wood core. K2 recommends this twin-tip for skiers who tend to ride 60% groomed/40% untracked, but you can split the difference and still come away with a stable twin-tip that takes you down all sides of the mountain with confidence and stability. If you're looking for a new ride with the fun potential of landing switch, the K2 Extreme is ideal for anyone who tends to ski inbounds.
