K2 Extreme Alpine Ski

The Extreme Alpine Ski is K2's tribute to all things radical, dudical, and totally gnarly. Modeled on last year's do-it-all frontside freestyle weapon, the Public Enemy, the Extreme borrows a killer topsheet from the late 80's icon to boost your retro steeze off the charts. Recent modifications like triaxial-braided, torsion box construction mean this wood-cored plank will perform consistently in variable conditions, from East Coast ice rinks to Sierra slop and most everywhere in between. And much like a neon one-piece or a 3-foot-tall mohawk would, the Extreme's graphic radness allows unabashed exploitation of the old school trick catalog although its directional twintip design will work fine for modern takeoffs and landings as well. We think they're called switch-eroo and involve something called a terrain park but that's all new to us. Now, if they just came in 210cm

Fantastic all mountain skis

I demoed these skis at ESA Aspen and had a total blast on them.  They're incredibly forgiving and worked great on all types of terrain, everything from deep powder to groomers.  They're a bit chattery at speed because they're not incredibly stiff, but that's what makes them so fun in most other scenarios.  If you're interested, I suggest you demo a pair as well.

Pros: Do everything ski, even powder (amazingly good at pow)

Cons: As good as you could ask for a true all mountain ski.

Big people might find the 179cm too short.
