Faithful skis of many an advanced to expert all-mountain skier. K2’‘s almost flagship Apache ski is one of the most popular and versatile skis around for all terrain, all snow action. Solid, reliable and with good but definitely a planted feel for the snow the Apache Recon is a great ski for multi-faceted alpine skiing. Again featuring a fir and aspen wood-core from K2’‘s own plantations the ski has a smooth ride at expert level speeds on crud and poor condition snow- BUT. As much as I appreciate this ski I would much rather have the fun, the attitude and the playability of a ski like the Seth for backcountry fun and a second pair for more piste performance. An excellent package nonetheless for 50/ 50 performance on and off piste.
