The MSP is a ripping all mountain twin tip. It's moderate sidecut and wide waist are perfect for steep off piste action. Unlike many skis in this catagory, the MSP does hook up and pull you across the hill. It's happy going fast in a longer arc, and allows you to stand tall at speed. It's a great ski for going fast down the hill, not across it.

Last year we called this a powder ski, but now we really think of it more as big mountain twin tip. The VCT handles firm snow no problem, and is surprisingly nimble for a wider ski. It's a great choice for fast, strong skiers who want a wide ride everyday.

This year the venerable Recon gets a boost from K2's new MX ski/binding system. The MX system uses a bigger footprint on the ski, and the heel from the Jester/Duke binding to transmits more power to the edges. This made the Recon even better at carving round turns, and more nimble in tight spaces. For good skiers who spend more time on the groomed runs than off, the Recon is better than ever.

The Explorer is the most versatile Apache yet. If you love the Recon, but wish it were just a little wider, than the Xplorer is the ski for you. It's as comfortable arcing on the groomers, as it is hunting freshies in the trees, and makes a great "quiver of one" for Mammoth.

With the coolest retro graphic ever, the Extreme replaces the tried and true Public Enemy. The Extreme is a great all mountain ski that happens to be a twin tip. It's a great crudbuster, and a blast in the bumps. The Extreme is the perfect choice for skiing the whole mountain, including the park. Be sure to rock the Extreme while wearing vintage The North Face, or Club A fashions circa 1988. This is a license to thrill...

obSETHed is the latest evolution of the Seth Morrison pro model. It's wider then ever at 105mm underfoot, and the "mini rocker" has been tweaked to make it almost invisible on firm snow.

Take the switch from the Tigershark, put it on a beefed up AC50, and you got the "Griz". The Grizzly is ultra solid, and very responsive. It also has a dial flex adjustment that is easy to use, and makes a very noticable change in the ski. Set on "power" the Griz is a fall line seeking speed demon. Turn it to "dynamic" and it rockets GS turns across the run. Dial it back to "cruise" and maybe your family can keep up.

The Mantra has been around for a few years now, and lives up to it's reputation as a great tool for expert skiers. It's one of our favorite skis for steep off piste adventures, but also gets it done on the groomed. Put the Marker Duke AT binding on it, and use for backcountry too.

The Tiger 10 does not get as much attention as it's big brother, and that's too bad. This Tiger is no slouch. With a narrower 73mm waist, its a more nimble ski that is better suited to bumps and tight spaces. It does no have a Powerswitch, but we don't think the 10 needs one. You would probably leave it on anyway. Tiger 10 is a versatile carver that is really fun without being to demanding.

The Tigershark 12 is a grippy speed demon. It has loads of power, and like to be driven hard. Turn the Power Switch off, and your family will be able to follow you.
