K2 Apache Sidewinder (2009)
A short-turn standout, the Sidewinder's curvy sidecut rips up corduroy. But it holds its own in fall-line bumps and tight trees too.
Props
If you're tired and skiing sloppy, don't worry-this is the most forgiving ski in the category.
Gripes
The waist is too narrow for the megadeep.
Tester's Take
