Manufacturers description
Positioned in the middle of the Shreditor collection, the 102 defines
versatility. The optimal amount of camber, sidecut, tip rise
and waist width is just what you need to slice up firm snow, rip
hot laps through the park or claim deep tracks all day. Playful
by character, the Shreditor 102 is designed with added tip and
tail taper to be fun and maneuverable yet snappy and stable,
no matter the conditions or terrain you seek to enjoy.

Strengths:
Works well in both piste and fresh snow, perfect skiing for the entire mountain. Easy to turn around despite 102 widths. Very easy to handle. The bindings that were included when I bought these chips griffon 13 work well to the ski.

Weaknesses:
No major weaknesses I can get on. But if there is anything I can possibly think of that the tail could have had a smaller bow, feel a bit like driving around with twintip park skis, although they are not suited to park in my opinion.

I have not driven a park with these skis so I can not comment on how they look like that, but what I felt was that they did not really have that "poppy" and the soft feeling that my old park skis have.

Then I think that K2 might have designed these skis a bit nicer. Perhaps driven with full color or slightly slower motif.

Summary:
I have tested these skis for 1 week in mixed conditions in the French Alps. Is 176 cm tall to run with Shreditor 184 cm. Runs about 4-6 weeks a year and is an experienced rider.

In the piste, Shreditor 102 works surprisingly well. Thanks to its nice "full-rocker", the swing radius becomes shorter and you get really nice carving wings. Even though I chose almost 10 cm longer skis than my own length, I think they are ridiculously easy to swing around with.

Also had the hassle of trying out snow skiing with these skis as it had dumped 40cm pillows during the night, so had a whole day's untouched snow to play around. There I think the skis work best. Maybe not as good as worst-pisted turbo skis, but good enough to make nice "surf-like" turns on top of the snow. You do not drop too much in the snow when you are standing on, and it is always extremely easy to get the perfect turns even in the powder. It's like kicking up between every turn, so the skis do not end up so far down the powder.

Rossignol sin7 is the ski I compared to watching skis, and the extra width of the waist at K2 102 vs 96 made me choose K2 before Rossignol. After a week's skiing, I almost feel that these skis could have been 10-20mm wider, it probably did not hurt. For as said, Shreditor 102, very easy skis to swing around with.

Can really recommend K2 Shreditor 102 for those who want a single ski that works everywhere in the back, both pistons, pillows and, in part, a puck. Even in the woods it's easy to get to the turns ...

Strengths:
Superb all-round skiing!
Works on most substrates.
Even in really deep snow, it works relatively well.

Weaknesses:
Weighs a part.
Does not work super in the park, it goes but you're a little "gimped ".
As with all the slightly wider skis, difficult to get in ski resorts outside some gondolas.

Summary:
Tested these in Hemsedal (Norway) and the Dolomites (Italy) and had an outstanding time on the slopes!
Especially offpist, they did the way they wanted to! Then, when you turned out into the piste, you could be clean cut and really dominate the carving turns.
Be worried first that they will feel long, but the little rocker that's really helps in the slope to make the skis feel "shorter" when the tip and tail are raised a little.
Feels stable on big air jumps, as I do not spin so much on bigger jumps, I do not know, but in less, it may be a bit bumpy to get around the skis in a 360.
Generally, I'm super pleased, even tested walking up the mountain with stumps and Marker Duke EPF bindings, worked really well! Felt easy!

These skis I think so long as the mountain delivers dynamic skiing, with varying levels, so in principle always!
