I can get a good deal on K2 disorderlys, but I really like light-weight skis and I have heard that K2 skis are heavy? Any info on this ski would be helpful. I would be using this ski for mostly park.

I hoped you tried to get a warranty on the skis. as for weight, bindings and boots make a HUGE difference in weight. As for the actual skis, a Disorderly to say a LINE Invader has a weight difference of .2 lbs. (3.2 ounces) That is not much at all. K2 gains those few ounces from having thicker edges for durability and the ABS sidewalls which always add a little weight.

I like mine, and I've certainly noticed the durability. My edges are great and I do grind a lot of stuff, not just rails. The bases seem a little soft though, I have a few hits, nothing big but it's just something I noticed. I have fun doing nollies.

Thanks for the info everyone, I can get them for 299$ at my local shop so I think I am going to get them. I always thought they were super heavy, but I guess not then.

you made a good choice, people always complain about weight but after you start skiing the disorderlys you wont notice how heavy they are compared to other skis at all.  I use to think the same thing as everyone else but after this season, the disorderlys have really worked out for me
