K2 Apache Coomba (2008)
K2 didn’t write Doug Coombs an epitaph; it built one. This powerful, consistent, and nimble ski is light enough to spend the day hiking.
Props
Easy to feather through turns and silky-smooth in soft snow.
Gripes
The progressive sidecut makes the shovel float—until you hit a crust layer and get thrown into the backseat.
Tester's Take
"I could stomp any cliff with these." —Jamie Pierre
PRICE (MSRP): $800.00
