    Comments about K2 Skis Force:

    Very good carving and stoping. Only problem is scratching and denting.

    I got these skis as a gift and hit a pile of sticks on a skiing hill and the top was scratched and dented. Stoping is very great and carving is the best would recommend to a friend if just goes out skiing once and a while.

      Comments about K2 Skis Force:

      I bought these skis from my local REI after taking lessons @ Loveland. These skis are great! I got the 153cm for my 5'5" 145 lbs frame which I think is perfect for my abilities. I could have gone longer but I'm literally on my 5th day on snow. Evar. These are light-years better than the base-model rentals (which are new this year at Loveland) and helped me improve my carving technique as well as doing drills my instructors gave me. Since these skis are targeted at beginners I will say spend time getting nice tight boots so you have a solid interface to your ski's otherwise even the most expensive ski will feel like they're cheap. I did venture out on some blue runs and my K2 Force's felt solid & confidence inspiring.

        Comments about K2 Skis Force:

        At first I thought that these skis were heavy, but quickly realized that it was just me not used to a quality ski. When you begin riding, they feel super light and just glide over everything. They feel stable, carve with no effort, accelerate downhill very well, just all round great skis. Riding on them is effortless, and they handle multiple snow conditions. Powder, Packed, Ice, it handles them all with ease.

          Comments about K2 Skis Force:

          I haven't tried these skis in powder so I didn't check that box but they sure work well on ice and groomers. The first day I tried them out on frozen couderoy my ski bud said I was 'twice' as fast. I don't know about that, but they worked just as well the next time on the icing kind of couderoy for carving.

          These skis absorb the terrain very well and are stable and confidence inspiring while being easy to turn.
