In an attempt to vear this back into skiing... I have some K2 Axis' -- bought last last year at the Ski Chalet sale... so one model back than what is out there now. And I think they are totally awesome ski! I hade vokels before that and I really liked them, and then these were recommended to me and I think they are even easier to ski, and better overall. I think I might upgrade this summer perhaps, anyone have any ideas on the various K2 models they have out now??? I see they have a couple of fatter varients of the basic axis for more powder but I honestly couldn't tell ya what the various other parameters translate to into performance...
Get's me to another subject... wouldn't it make sense if skis were rated against a common scale for flex, turning radius, snow float, and about any other parameter you could think of ???
