K2 Apache Recon -FLAT- Downhill Skis - Unisex

Description

The K2 Apache Recon Alpine Ski is a high-performance mid fat with a mission—explore every foot of every mountain around the globe. The Apache Recon Alpine Skis can handle anything Mother Nature throws its way. It's an all mountain ski eager to investigate off-piste terrain, open bowls, tight trees and steep chutes. Twin metal laminate construction lends stability and precision edge control. The Recon Alpine Ski's 78mm waist provides a solid platform for powerful turns through any condition. The Recon skier seeks to increase the number of powder days this season.
*BINDINGS NOT INCLUDED*
Features:

• PERFORMANCE: Expert
• DIMENSIONS: 119/78/105
• Titan Metal Laminate: Titan Metal Laminate is a visible extension of the standard metal laminate. As skis get wider, especially in the shovel, a metal laminate can begin to feel overwhelming. Titan Technology achieves overall swing weight reduction by removing material from the toplayer of titinal in the tip and tail. REduced swing weight offers a skier more control, with less fatigue.
• MOD Monic: Fully integrated within the MOD structure, MOD Monic is an extension of MOD Technology, focusing the benefits of mass dampening into a concentrated area. The entire surface of a ski benefits from the MOD structure, bit some areas need more than others. Independent studies at Boeing Laboratories determined precisely where to place the Monic by finding the area of the ski that would benefit the most from additional mass. By targeting a specific area, we aren't needlessly adding weight. Monic allows for the majority of the MOD structure to be lightened, and have extra mass focused precisely where it increases performance.
• MOD Technology: Praised by magazine tests and validated by skiers around the world, MOD Technology has proven to be the ultimate in ski deign today. MOD combines an elastomeric secondary core that works as a high-performance suspension system and mass damper to provide the highest degree of ease, power, forgiveness and performance available in skis today. The amount, application and distribution of mass are keys to the success of MOD Technology. At K2, unlike any other manufacturer, our application of mass via the MOD structure doe not affect flex, allowing the ski to perform freely while MOD absorbs unwanted vibrations independently.
• Ungroomed/Groomed: 50%/50%

According to Skiing magazine, "The plush new Recon is damp (ike the Outlaw), adaptable, and supremely even tempered in any terrain. It rails hardpack arcs with nary a chatter, and it's easy to disengage when you need to scrub speed. Glides through the gnarliest chop with velvety smoothness. GRIPES: So damp, the rebound iinitially feels suggish at first-but it's not. PROPS: Enough forgiveness for an advanced skier, but with all the tools for pro-level stompng. TESTER'S TAKE: "So confidence-inspiring you don't need to do any recon-just ski." -Lindsay Ya
