Seth Morrison has pushed the revolution in big mountain skiing like no other skier, so when he puts his name to a ski, you know it’s going to be good. The K2 Seth Alpine Ski is a fatty twin-tip big-mountain weapon that will plough through the deepest Hokkaido has to offer. A mini-rocker design helps this fat all-mountain ski rise to the top of soft snow. While the Seth ski’s graphics are wild, it’s what’s underneath that counts. A 98mm waist keeps this all-mountain twin floating. A progressive sidecut and versatile flex pattern performs well on hard-pack so it won’t chatter on the groomed, however you might get a shudder on variable terrain at superman speeds.
