Check this one out! Ski expert Jim Fowler discusses the highlights of the 2008 K2 ski line. It is a promotional video for K2 skis, but it provides good information on the 2008 K2 skis.

See the new guns for ladies? Looking good! New K2 skis for your sweetheart to make smoooooth turns :) . Probably good skis, but I am more into K2 Coomba. Powder skiing weapon designed under the name of Doug Coombs, the deceased big mountain skiing star. According to K2, it has “balanced flex pattern and 102mm waist width offers excellent flotation and easy handling in tough conditions“.

Hold on! See the next ones, K2 Hellbent. Those are the fattest twin tip skis from K2, with an impressive 150 mm. tip and 122 mm. underfoot. Wow! I wish I had those back in the days when we crawled the backcountries of Chamonix! He he… instead I had to survive with my damn old Atomic super-G skis which actually had ski touring bindings mounted.

I am an old-school alpine skier, snowboarder and telemarker, and I love writing. Therefore I founded Homeboy. I (too) enjoy powder, mountaineering and backcountry skiing as well as photographing. Nowadays, as an old fart, I mostly ski with my kids and focus on financing their hobbies.
