Manufacturers description
This K2 / Shane McConkey inspired design,-of 160-130-120mm dimensions, rocker, and a tapered tail creates a ski that planes effortlessly. The unique design enables the ski to become light and extremely agile in tight terrain for a ski with these dimensions. The Pontoon is primarily built for powder but does surprisingly well on hard pack due to the standard sidecut underfoot. This ski does for powder what shaped skis did for groomers.

Strengths:
Move and Stability You can drive very aggressively on these skis without the tip of the tip and drop high altitudes to have a very stable landing.

Weaknesses:
This is a No. 3 ski, it is useless when it gets hard, and it's a good idea to drive along the piste when you're going to the lift ..

Summary:
This is a stiffer ski K2 Hellbent, as you can drive large turns at high speed with the mountain down, if conditions indicate. Very fun in powder and if it's a lot of slush .. When there are no such conditions, I choose one of the other ships.

All in all, awesome skiing as you can rock around big with ...
BUT .. I would say that for Nordic snow conditions, K2 Hellbent is probably a better option. albeit with 5cm forwarded bonding.

Riding style: Crow, powder, hardpack, slush .. everything is better a pist ..
Length on the ski: 189 cm
Riders weight: 83 kg
Riders length: 176 cm

Strengths:
+ Reverse camber.
+ Pintail.
+ It is totally impossible to push down the tip under the snow.
+ Works when there is ice in the piste
+ Unbelievably easy-going - everyone has probably experienced "hell soon dives the top, and I'll show up with" these moments never get along with them, but you just get on and drag a couple of turns when you know it.

Absolutely senseless calm skiing. Coming on me as close as I stand while I'm walking.
Those who buy it probably know what they buy and the properties in pillows are something out of the ordinary.
They are fun just watching when they are at home. Incredibly easy-going

Weaknesses:
"It's important to keep track of the ski. It will begin to flow and release sooner or later.
-It is very sad to transport in the slopes. It is possible to get a sharp turn but just a while, the turn will sooner or later plan out to the cord.
The torque of the legs becomes big and hard at the end of the day.

These negative pages only apply to the pist you see. Actually, it's meanwhile to address these at all but I did it to fill the void;)

Summary:
Very potent skiing if you like sneezing, the perfect choice if you want to come down before the poles and watch when they get caught in the snow.
Do you think it's worth adding a thousand of thousands to experience some very fun entertaining days every year so buy them.

Stability, PUDD!

Insensitive if the ski does not have full contact with the snow, or on hard ground!

You get a sick flow and a surf feeling when you have real powder!

Riding style: pillows, old humpbacks, about 60 days of snow a year

Strengths:
Stable when there is more snow than the height of the rocker. Lightweight and smooth.

Weaknesses:
You get tired of your legs when the skirt is not fully in touch with the undergrowth. Feels a bit too clumsy and big when it gets steep.

Summary:
Really fun and gives a slightly different feel and ride style. You do not care to swing at regular intervals, but burns and cuts a bit where it fits, before a cliff or so. Shane runs on them. Get a pair of you too.
