I have them, they're great. I haven't had any problems with them so far. They bust through crud and slush and hold well on the groomers. They're nice and wide so they're really stable. Best skis I've ever tried.

where did you mount them cko??

they are a 70% park 30% big mountain so they are a bit stiffer, so you can boost a bit higher in the park. VERY GOOD WARRENTY, sidewalls tend to chip alot, because of the design but that does nothing to the performance. the sizes are a bit different, like the 169 is a 172 or something and the 179 is like a 182. very sick ski, and the mounting cm thing on the side makes it easy to make a decision. mount at 4cm or 3 1/2 for more of a park rider, and a bit farther back if you arent. i've heard that youcan mount them 4 1/2 to five cm forward, but then your all-mountain perforce will lack. depends what you ride.

 
Don't bother mounting them far forward... i got them mounted where they are supposed to be and they ride really well Switch and regular... they are overall an awesome ski at an even better price... the sidewalls to chip, but thats fine, and if you are heavy or have a tendency to break skis all the time they may break... but they have a sick warrenty so whatever.

And Props to the Icons Above me... but i was the first to change the PE k2 logo, and the pic of a part of the ski... i'd steal it but i am not gay.

ive rode a couple different pair and right now the ones i have the edges are gone from rails so i center mounted mine. the ones i have are 179's and there 10.5cm forward, thats a little extreme but there seriously sooo damn good in the park now, theey still ski the whole mountain good (you just have to know how to ski) but when i had them at 4 forward i was skiing all the backcountry i could find at the local resorts (crystal, alpental, the canyons(utah), so depending on what you ride id mount them at least 4 forward.... thats just my opinion though

 
pep and the other pro riders have theirs mounted at about 3.5 or 4 cm forward. go to the k2factoryteam.com forums, they have tons of posts about mounting spots...

I really want a pair, I have never riden them but i have only heard good things about them. My only delima is that they are kinda skinny, I like a fat ski even in the park. Im thinking about getting a pair of Seth Pistols.

I mounted mine 1.5 cm forward. I could have gone to 2 or 2.5 but I don't ride park exclusively. The way I have them now, they work well all over the mountain.
