Using this board as an intermediate snowboarder who likes to hit the black runs, powder, and kickers from time to time. This is a good all-mountain board with some playfulness inherent to its rocker/flat/rocker profile. The rocker under bindings really shines for sharp pivot turns, ground tricks, and powder. The flat between bindings gives you o.k. pop and is a nice compromise between the rocker/camber extremes.
This board is excellent in powder and is just great fun up down and around the mountain and park. Besides jibbing, this board feels very versatile. This is a great beginner board and one you can develop with until you find a style-specific board.
The top sheet is slick, so consider getting a stomp pad. There's also a 3/4" setback that makes it more of a directional twin. This makes it good for powder, while still letting me ride switch at a moment's notice.
At 5'10" @ 185 lbs, the 159cm is a great fit.
I am 5'11 and 165, size 10 boots. I ride all mountain. I ride a 157 K2 darkstar wide and a 159 Flow Infinite. I have tried Van's encore and Flow Boa boots. Vans too tight, Flow too wide. These boots hit it perfect for me. Peter Glenn got them to me a Day BEFORE I was supposed to get them. They contacted me on my order, because there was an error on my part. Very nice and very professional. Boots 5 star, Peter Glenn 5 star. For me K2 fits my mid narrow feet PERFECTLY. True to size, and Exceptional Quality. I will order K2 Boa boots for the rest of my Snowboarding life.
Great bindings for the price!
My wife's poles were picked up by mistake at Snowmass. We figured it was because they looked like all the other poles. These don't which should help in the future. Let's face it, for most people straight is just about the most important parameter, and these are in fact straight.
These are great looking and well performing ski poles. Definitely would recommend for an upgrade in style and performance.
This is my 2nd k2 cinch binding purchase. I'm confident that i'll like these as much as my first pair. I'll mainly be using them for snow kiting and need a quick entry binding for that purpose. Thanks for making a great product. Joe from alanson michigan.
Great bindings. They fit tight and come off with ease. While riding, these provide the rider-to-board relationship you want. They are very responsive as long as you have tight boots to match the sensitivity.
I have had 2 sets of these poles and both sets have had the metal tip come off of the pole. I guess if you only use it out west this situation probably would not happen. I really love how light this pole is and how easy it is to use. The easily adjustable strap makes using these poles with different sizes gloves a snap, so on a cold day when I go to mittens I don't waste a lot of time messingg around with my poles. The wide leather strap fits well on the back side of gloves or mitts and provides a nice swing point for the pole. Like I said before, I really love these poles.
Bought these poles when my Lekis broke after 20 years. These poles are even lighter than my Lekis. Swing weight is perfect, took awhile to get used to the straps but now it's easy to put straps on and off. Like the feel of the leather grips and looks great. To top it off the red color poles match my K2 skis perfectly. These poles should last me another 20 years. The price was a steal compared to the ski shop in Tahoe. Thanks K2 and Peter Glenn.
Used the poles for 12 days of skiing so far this season at Big Sky Montana. Skiied everything from the top, bumps and glades. In everything from fresh powder to steep and icy. The interchanable baskets are easy to change and really do make a difference. What I liked most about this product is that the swing weight was very light and they seem more durable durable than the aluminimum poles I had been using. Trees tend to reshape metal poles. My wife also bought a set of K2 6 Karat poles with the same type of leather grip. The draw back with this grip is that two different K2 dealers were unwilling to cut the pole down an inch. If the sizing is correct this an awsome all mountain ski with great versatiity.
