I have narrowed it down to these two, and I just cant decide. I live in Michigan and ski mainly park. Im having a hard time deciding between these two, so please if you have skied them, have experiences with either or just have something to say feel free to comment. +k for helpful answers, -k for hating. thanks
 
i have the 2012's, they are super super fun. really light. really super sick on rails. butters are wayy fun. and they are greaat in pow. i used mine in knee deep,

but i have heard lots of good things about revivals.
 
-Revivals will be a bit softer but not much.

-They both have rocker (all though the K2 seems more like just zero camber)

-They are both around 90 underfoot

-Both will be great all mountain skis.

-K2 is full sidewall and salomon is not full sidewall

I would go with the K2, overall the construction just seems to be a bit more solid and I like the flex pattern of it.
 
I think i would go with the revival if i were you it looks sick and i have heard good things about it
 
i got some free 2012's and im stoked to shred them this year, i haven't yet tho except demos awhile ago. i hated the demos but i figured hey free skis are free skis so i'm gonna try em out this year. maybe i just had a bad experience on the demos because i might have been too light for them at that point and they were possibly a little too big, and demo bindings prolly didnt help either.
 
I'd recommend 2012s, my friend has them and says they do just as well on the east coast ice as his old ar6's, and they're so easy to butter and jib around with in general, the rocker makes them very forgiving
 
Thanks to everyone +k for all of you. Only thing that worries me a little about the 2012 is if they will be like all the other salomon skis and have durability issues
 
get em through backcountry.com and they're chill as fuck about returns cause of durability issues, I'm doing this exactly
 
Yeah that's what I have heard but they wouldn't replace my Dumonts they made me contact salomon which is impossible. Maybe I just got unlucky
 
whaaat thats bull, they sent me 2 new pairs of salomon threats after I kept breaking them, and after I broke the 3rd pair they gave me a $100 discount on suspects, I guess you did get unlucky.
