Newschoolers' Review: "So they rip all mountain, they seem tough and they're loose enough to be fun when playing around. Sounds like they are flawless right? Not quite. For one thing they are fairly heavy at over 2,000g per ski in a 176. You can actually feel that difference in the air, in that...

View the Full Gear Guide: The Newschoolers 2017 - 2018 Gear Guide Last year, simplification was the name of the game at K2. This year, the line is consolidated and improved again. The big change is that the Pettitor ceases to be, replaced with a 120mm pow ski called The Catamaran. The new ski...

Welcome back to Newschoolers Editors' Picks for 2017-18. We're almost certainly last to the annual gear selections party, but I'd like to think that's because we actually spend at least a week on every ski we try rather than just a couple of runs at a gear test. Last week we announced our park...

Newschoolers' Review: "I said it above but I'll repeat it here. If I had a park ski and these, I really couldn't see myself needing anything else. When I'm going up to solely ride the park I'll take a park ski but for everything else I have been using the Catamaran. Even if there is no fresh...

Newschoolers' Review: "My overall impression from the few runs was that K2 have created a ski that is more versatile on the mountain, carves better and skis unpredictable snow more consistently than its predecessors. But I probably wouldn't want to take it in the park or jib, which is what I...
