K2 Press Skis 2012 |
Retail: $375 (52% off)
The challenge comes out every year for ski manufactures to make inexpensive, durable park skis. K2 answers this year again with the Press. A feather light Triaxial braided cap construction has a low swing weight for ease of turning, and spinning off of jumps. The Press is a great all mountain ski for lighter weight skiers or kids that are ready for their first adult twin tip. 85mm underfoot give a solid landing platform for stomping landings, and soft or broken snow flotation. K2's Park Flex Pattern is softer in the tip and tail with some rigidity underfoot for ollies and butters on to rails or boxes. An Aspen wood core has plenty of snap for lightweight skiers for making smooth turns on the hard pack. Tip and tail hardware reduce the chances of splitting open the ski when landings are just a little too far forward or too far in the backseat. K2's Jib Rocker is slight tip and tail rocker with zero camber underfoot is designed just for the park skier. It blends playfulness for butters and pop for ollies. The K2 Press is a great ski for aspiring park superstars, kids who are ready for their first adult twin, or the lightweight park skier looking for something to use for rails and urban riding.

Comments about K2 Press Skis 2012:
For me the K2 Press was a fun jib ski. It was buttery and fun to play around with. I think it excelled well on rails and at slower speeds. If you maybe want an urban ski or are from the Midwest where there are mostly rail then this ski would be a sick ski to get. Not to mention the price is just right for a ski you're just going to abuse anyways.

Comments about K2 Press Skis 2012:
Hey Thom here with K2 Press. This guy gets 3/5 for a [$] ski it's really quite nice. Full wood core, cap construction, really easy onto edge. Very, very mellow ski. It would make excellent transitional ski for somebody coming off junior equipment or just for somebody whose really just starting getting into the game and wants something that's going to be real easy. You really don't have to think to get it to turn but something stable and predictable with the option in it being a full twin to be able to go throw it around the park.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This is Evan with the K2 Press. I give this ski 3/5 stars with it's capped construction. It is pretty soft, definitely going to be for that entry-level park rider looking to just get into some jumps and rails. Definitely a solid ski.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
