K2 PE (Public Enemy) Skis 2008 : Skis

Park/pipe sovereignty + all-mountain domination = the 2008 K2 Public Enemy Ski. Designed and tested as the ideal park ski with all-mountain versatility, this twin-tipped titan is ready to rip any terrain. The K2 PE uses an 85mm waist width with a stiffer flex Torsion Box construction to withstand the harshest landings and bolster your control when you’re ripping around the whole mountain. The hybrid ABS/Urethane Sidewalls underfoot are designed to lessen harmful impact to your body, giving the 2008 K2 Public Enemy more shock absorption than past years’ models. This Factory Series ski challenges the authority of every other so-called high-end versatile ski on the market, making it easy to be loyal to K2 quality and make yourself Public Enemy number one.

TRIAXIAL BRAIDING: This unique method produces skis that have a great deal of torsional rigidity and strength, while maintaining all the lively characteristics of a wood core ski.
TORSION BOX CONTROL: The Torsion Box Construction is the foundation for the widest range of skis designed by K2. The Public Enemy Skis share the common traits of ease, forgiveness, responsiveness, and energy that can be found in all Torsion Box skis.
ABS/Urethane Hybrid Sidewall
Tip and Tail Rivets, 3.5-mm Steel Edges

Comments about K2 PE (Public Enemy) Skis 2008:

I skied these in Val d'Isere recently. Conditions weren't that great, so there was no powder to really get into. Thus, my review is slanted a bit. However, I can tell you that they're a stiff ski. I got a lot of chatter on groomers and other terrain. I'm not sure if this will be useful to you. I generally ski short, twin-tips. I'm 5 11, 145, and ski 160's. I liked them, but the chatter and stiffness was a definite negative.
Have fun out there!

Comments about K2 PE (Public Enemy) Skis 2008:

The Skis are great! i know they are twin tips but last year after snapping a ski, i had to use them in a cupl of slalom races because my GS skis were far to long. They worked great!!! even for a race! but they are still better for all mountain i take them into the bowl mostly and they will float in the powder wonderfully

Comments about K2 PE (Public Enemy) Skis 2008:

I had these last year and they were the worst ski i have ever bought.
they are SUPER heavy and scratch SUPER easily. the are the worst twin tip ski on the market. By the end of the season up at big white, they were destoryed. unalbe to be used ever again. the fibergalss on the top was pretty much ripped right off of the meatal on the bottom.
if you but this ski, you are stupid. THIS IS A WASTE OF YOUR MONEY

Comments about K2 PE (Public Enemy) Skis 2008:

Park jumps and small backcountry jibs are amazing with this ski, OK flex and float like nothing else. I used to ski in the backseat to get my tips up but these skis floated so well that I didn't feel like I needed to or wanted to

By Pat

from Ann Arbor, MI on 11/8/2008

Comments about K2 PE (Public Enemy) Skis 2008:

I've skied these out east and at Mary Jane out west.....while they are not the best on ice (who cares), I was grinning ear to ear on an April powder day at MJ. They were great for floating atop the powder and are great even when things get tracked out a bit. I'm 6'3 190 lbs and rock the 179s. I would absolutely recommend these for an all mountain ski that is capable of going everywhere.

Don't spend too much time in the park, so I can't say anything about the weight inhibiting any of that stuff.......

BUY A PAIR!
