But also I feel like a kid in a candy shop seeing sneak peeks of new stuff coming it. Honestly a feeling that never gets old especially knowing how much goes into bringing a new product to market.

Shout out to K2 for actually putting graphics on their skis again rather than a black logo on a black ski like everyone else, too. Those mushroom reckoners are dope!

The biggest takeaway from this is the brand director for K2 and FullTilt boots skis on the Holiday chair at Central!

First time yesterday, trying to keep away from people. Quite enjoying these uber short laps after being in whistler for a decade, reminds me of the snowdomes back home.

Thank you! That means a lot.

My personal goal with design for K2 is to give people a reason to pay attention and have an opinion about K2 again. Sure the designs may not be for everyone, sure some people may not want mismatched boots or splatter paint skis but hey, for the people who do like the product maybe it’ll be that persons favorite product they’ve ever had.

I hope the group remembers - it’s just skiing and design is subjective. The best that all of us can do is to keep it interesting to keep skiing interesting.

This is a very strong observation. Skiing at snoqualmie is your best chance at seeing new product. Riding the chair with Tom or myself is a sure fire way to hear way too much information about said product. Especially if you get stuck on a chair with my long winded self.

Now that tyrolia is making a 17 din attack, they should come out with a 15 din version. They've made 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, and 18 so its only right haha

I had pet rats as a kid, I'd buy a cute rat graphic in a hot minute.

Not sure if they’re hinting at a topsheet with a rat on it, or threatening a vishnu style topsheet thats just closeups of rat nuts

Was there any change other than color and DIN?

Overall resculpted and different shape in both the heel and toe piece as well. From what I know there will be no more 16 or 18 din attack as well.
 
^Thanks for following! Figured someone here would notice that... haha

So stoked on the new k2 graphics, but god damn just wait for some of the new armada graphics too! There may or may not be another UL model coming to the ARV/ARW line...

Any details on the weight and shape/profile? The previous version were nice and light, could be a good 50/50 ski.
