The all-new Stryker is the latest addition to K2s incredibly successful Apache line. The Stryker is an intermediate to advanced skiers dream ski. Although forgiving they are sporty and can be driven with firm direction. If you are a content red run skier then this ski will be just fine for you to start venturing on to black runs and perhaps a little in the soft stuff.

This is a true all-mountain ski which performs well on/off piste, powder, hard pack, groomed and crud. They turn effortlessly, carve beautifully, and are extremely forgiving. They are stable at speed and love to crank. I feel like buying another pair for when these wear out!
