Need an all round ski, can carve on firm/icy euro piste, can take in about boot deep pow, laps in the park here and there.

Now that this is in gear talk my real answer is go with the reckoned. My favorite ski I've owned was my shredditor 102s and just bought a pair of reckoners to replace them. If they hold up as well as my shredditors I'd expect them to last at least 2 seasons of a lot of rails. Stiffness and shape is about the same.

Nooooo they’re not the same skis at all. Shreditor had a shorter effective edge, was much damper and much heavier. Reckoner has a longer effective edge much lighter as well. I owned both and the shreditor was way more stable at speed and a more capable all mountain ski. The Reck was way too soft to use anywhere except the park to me. Definitely not the same ski

noooooo just lie to me and tell me they're the same. I miss my old shreditors so much those skis were bomb af

I bought mine because I hoped they’d be similar but they’re not

Aww man. I use mine mainly for park so hopefully I still like them. I thought the shredditor was pretty soft to begin with especially when you got close to the tips.

It’s great for park 100%, it just lacks that stability that the shreditor used to have
 
If you are a lighter person like me the reck is actually pretty stable but I'm 5'8 and 155. the 184 is perfect for me but if your heavier then the poacher might be a bit better cus its stiffer.

Pretty bummed, used the ski for the 5th time today and the bases are separating from the ski underfoot on both skis. Noticed it on the first ski after the first time using it and skiing park for maybe 2 hours. My 4 year old shredditors that I beat to shit are in better shape. Still a fun ski but I think I'm going to take a break from K2, always seemed bombproof but not this time.
 
go poacher. poachers hold up great for boot deep. and feel more stable at higher speeds. they are stiffer but you'll get them to butter if you want to.

recks are great but tend to explode underfoot .
