K2 Apache Crossfire System Skis

The K2 Apache Crossfire returns this year with a blending K2's MOD Technology with old school laminate construction. K2's MOD Technology makes for a smooth and supple ride. The old school laminate construction makes for killer edge grip? especially on harder snow. Growing up as a racer, I've learned to appreciate the metal laminate construction because of the power it generates. New for this year is the shape. The Apache Crossfire is 70 mm underneath the foot. It improves the versatility. The natural shape is a moderate carve. When I tested the ski (tested in a 174), I found the Apache Crossfire to work best in medium and long radius turns. This suits guys who love skiing at mach schnell. Most men will appreciate the 174. Heavier skiers should opt for the 181.

K2 Fully integrated binding system:
The binding system for most of this year's K2s is no longer bolted to the top surface of the ski. K2 has fully integrated their new binding system into the of the ski core. This reduces weight, allows a better flex, and places the binding to rest and apply pressure directly over the ski edge. The Marker binding selected for each model is appropriate for the expected end user. The highest performance skis such as this model include the Marker Piston binding for better dampening.
