2010 K2 Apache Crossfire w/ Marker MX 14.0 Binding

I have been very happy with this ski. It is very well suited to my skiing style. I like to cruise down groomers and this ski is well suited to that task. The ski is a bit heavy which lends to its picking up speed fast, but makes it a bit difficult to make quick turns through moguls and trees compared to other skis. 

 

The ski is good at powering through rough conditions. I have noticed it can be sketchy at times when skiing over Eastern ice; My biggest complaint would have to be the durability of the ski. After a season and a half there are several chunks of top sheet that have fallen off after only about ten days of skiing.

 

Its weight and relatively narrow waist make it sink into powder with ease. You really have to fight the skis to keep from sinking in.

Picked these skis up last 4th July at Mammoth as used demos for $350.Hardly used, it is not the type of ski typically used for usual Mammoth conditions.  Good ski for hard pack snow on groomers. Grips well through the icy patches. I need a wider ski for the conditions where there may be any powder, but for $350 it was a good purchase for cold hard pack days.
