K2 Apache X (2006)

Because of its 68-mm footprint (narrow for this group), we were tempted to write off the X as a hardpack ski, but it muscles right through crud. More of a long burner than a quick turner, it

Tester's Take

"A long list of accolades; the X is all-mountain poetry in motion."

PRICE (MSRP): $685.00
