K2 Skis Apache Outlaw Ski Hire and Equipment Review

The Outlaw is designed to ride off piste and primarily in softer snow conditions. Versatility and agility are strengths of the Outlaw, provided by the unique progressive sidecut design. More sidecut in the shovel and less at the tail provides the Outlaw with the perfect balance of turn initiating sidecut with all the softer snow benefits of width underfoot. With Titan Technology, MOD Monic, and the new M1 integrated binding system, the ‘‘06 Outlaw is completely redesigned for maximum all-mountain performance. Dimensions 124/88/111 Performance 70% ungroomed / 30% groomed Radius 19m @174 Construction Titan Metal Laminate Core Fir/Aspen Features MOD Technology, MOD Monic, Progressive Sidecut, Triaxial Braided Binding Options K2/Marker Piston M1 14.0 / 12.0

Totally redesigned for 2007 the new Outlaw packs a punch in powder but doesn’‘t betray the skier with iron-girder flex. The Outlaw is a strong ski but not too challenging and even though the sidecut of 19m at 174cm seems quite large they remain realtively easy to turn by either pivoting or carving. Surprisingly forgiving all-mountain powder skis and highly recmmended for the regular skier who wants to hit the powder but isn’‘t looking for the rad image of a twin tip.
