OK, I am deciding on my ski for next year and I think it is down to the K2 Seth model. I am not sure if I should go with last years model or this years. I will want it to ski pow very well and charge hard, but I need to be able to hold up in the park on big, hardpacked jumps and rails. I also want it to be able to keep up with friends while ripping the occasional groomer.

Give me help. Here are the 2 skis:

2008 Seths:

True, all-condition twin tip skis designed by Seth Morrison as a single freestyle tool to attack anything mother nature throws at you. FIND A

The 98mm waist width, mini rocker, and progressive sidecut make the K2 Seth Skis a force to be reckoned with in the softest snow, but the generous sidecut in the tip and all-mountain flex make the K2 Seth Skis ideal for the groomers. Add on a twin tip and you have the most versatile ski in the K2 line.Length: 179cm
Radius: 21m @ 179
Construction: Torsion Box Sidewall
Core: FirFeatures:
  • Progressive Sidecut
  • Mini Rocker Design
  • Triaxial Braided Core
  • ABS sidewall
  • Tip and Tail Rivets
  • 3.5mm steel edges
Tip: 130
Waist: 98

2009 Obsetheds:

The obSETHed is new twin tip ski from K2 for 2009. The new 15/20 rocker design lets the obSETHed rule in the powder, as always and work great on hard pack and the crud. A very versatile wide ski. Great fun!

now THAT is how you make a "which ski for me" thread. + karma and props

but i would say the 08 seth only because you have interest in jumps.. they would be better on rails aswell id you are planning on doing that...

also, theyre cheaper!
 
considering you mentioned park go with the 08 seths. I own a pair and they're OK in the park, what you'd expect from a ski with 98mm waist, but a LOT better than the new seth. Plus they rip in everything else you mentioned.
 
Go 07-08 Seths. Better for park, a tad lighter and cheaper since they are last year's ski. You will like them.
 
last years man, they are so much fun in anything, and just smash threw crud and are fun on rails
 
I rode the 08 in the park this year. I loved the ski for everything but park, I thought it was too heavy/stiff for park.
