K2 Apache Ranger (2008)
The carving fanatics at K2 (OK, one designer from Minsk) have done it again. Said one tester: "The tip pulls you into a sweet turn."
Props
There’s no learning curve.
Gripes
Possibly too soft. A bit chattery if not on a good radius.
Tester's Take
"The Ranger is easy to ski but it can charge, too." —Alex Shaffer
PRICE (MSRP): $675.00
