Some Questions about the K2 Seth 07/08

1. How heavy is the ski?
2. How long do they really measure in 169/179?
3. How big is the rocker?


I am 6'1 and 170lbs (78kg). I currently look for a ski to ski pow and BC Kickers. They should also handle a Park Run.

Straight Pow 30%
BC Jumps 15%
Natural Jibs and Hits 30%
Park 15%
Groomers 10%

I don't charge in powder. I really like to Butter, spin off cliffs, ski pillows and trees. Therefore I would like a  soft ski (maybe rockered) which is not to heavy.

Are the Seth's the right choice?


I also looked at Hellbents, but i fear they are to heavy and won't handle that great.

they arent very stiff at all, in fact quite soft.  the rocker isnt very much, maybe a centimeter and a half when pressure is applied.  they do measure a little bit longer so the 179 with be like a 183 in reality.  for your height and weight 179 should be fine.  as a bc jib ski and not a charging ski it will be perfect.  if i could get my hands on a pair of 179 Seth's i would be the happiest man in the world, go for it.  such a sick ass ski
