K2 AK Launcher

Strengths:
Easy ski for it's lenght, works well both on and off piste. flex is soft and even but not noodly as some freestyle back country boards these days. well damped and can take a lot a speed. decent hold on hardpack and even icy steeps

Weaknesses:
the ski is not the worlds most lively natured ski.

edge hold on the ''in between'' hardpack is pretty crap.

oh and it's look is very old fashioned .. but by now you get respect at the lift for these boards

Summary:
kind of a classic ski. ( i have the yellow graphic one but the ski is in essence the same)

nowhere near fat these days but enough to keep you afloat in european powder. if not, you are either too heavy of not going fast enough..or both.

if you run into these (you never know i bought an unused set) and can get them cheap. don't dismiss them as just old skies

Model year: 2002
Riding style: all mountain, steeps
Length on the ski: 190 cm
Riders weight: 127 kg
Riders length: 178 cm

Strengths:
Lively and relatively easy ...

Weaknesses:
Slightly narrow for modern "big mountain" rides.

Summary:
The skid is very close and easy to get rid of. Without having a thigh muscles like Meier, you can drive a great slalom swing and have fun ...

Outside of the piste, it is a bit poor to be a fat skier. For heavy skiers, I guess the ski is too soft. But for a mediator / easy rider who wants a good cheap alternative that you often take on hides to hike, it's a good thing.

Length on the ski: 188 cm
Riders weight: 75 kg
Riders length: 190 cm

Somewhat worried at higher speeds and at junk snow. Otherwise nice flowing in pillows and surprisingly good edge grip in hard piste. The design is clockwise!

Riders weight: 75 kg

This ski I had to try to have in Canada, catskiing in hard pillows.
I'm 195cm, 93kg and signed 188cm.
The ski is the most beautiful thing that was needed in the forestry we did.
Can not imagine any more witty skiing as the spirit behaved said calmly and curly.
If you like bigger swings in higher runs, you may want to choose a longer ski (if long as I am)

Model year: 2002

soft and easy skis. perfect for easy riders. is even 173cm and 64kg, runs at 190 length. It's stable (at least to me), floats and works for all kinds of causes. superb skiing for little people

Model year: 2002

Too soft for my taste. There are "modern" options that have significantly more compliance.

Model year: 2002

Works fine in completely untouched loosening. Fairly good cut and fine in big turns. But if you want to go a bit, they are too soft, can be very worried and kind. Sure the design is nice but it does not help. Fits better for easier people.
I weigh 83kg and drive 190 long.

The perfect Fatski for telemark ...

it feels superfluous to say that it works in cushions, junk and dull. What is cleant is that they work swine-like in pistles, like any half-fitting, type x-15 or XX.

Absolutely the most beautiful ski so far for those who like to surf through bottomless pillows. Feels really like floating on the snow with this ski. Slightly faster turns in the piste also goes to my surprise given the width. The first time you're going to put a real fat trick, you can think how to go when the skis weigh more than a couple of regular skis. This is good, however, as the skis behave normally in the air. These skis crush all the resistance on the mountain and unless competitors come to the point of being able to measure this ski, this favvo ski will be a good move forward (at least this season).
