Quality of k2 skis

K2 is owned by line and line is a company that makes OVERRATED products. Armada makes really great skis. also lines skis have very bad construction.

K2 is a big ski brand, but that does NOT mean that their products are shit. The are kind of like the Burton of skiing in my opinion, they have a solid reputation and their products are trustworthy, just nothing special. I have owned a pair of K2 skis that have been going strong for 3 seasons, and my brother has also had good luck with their products. They may not be the lightest, or the best, but they are solid and are often on sale for a very reasonable price at shops.

completely wrong. k2 is owned by k2 sports who also owns line and a few other companies. k2 and line make quality skis yes there are a couple of people to of had problems but mostly due to their error of riding in the park, in which they think they are entitled to new skis after thrashing their skis on metal objects. dont go by what one person has said since they may have bias since they might be one of those people who broke their skis

you're 100% retarded...K2 owns line, and they both make quality skis...Line gets a rep for bad durability because they make a lot of price point skis and obviously when you pay less you're going to get a less durable ski...however most of line's medium priced or higher skis are supposed to be amazing.

k2 also makes a lot of quality skis - basically all their skis are well loved by members of the community. If anything, I'd say they were under rated.

so get off armada's dick, they're not the only company that makes good skis (in fact, I'd say many were less than impressed with their powder skis this year)

get learned n00b /rant

to OP, k2's have a rep for being awesome sticks, if a little heavy in some cases. Not really sure what your sister was talking about because I know a couple boarders who ride k2s and like them.

Well your sister is a boarder, so I am not surprised....K2 snowboards are pretty good, but they don' t have a huge following.....As for the ski lineup they are good and it would be difficult to say that any large manufacturer makes skis that are significantly better (or worse for that matter). Line makes nice skis too, but it would be hard to argue that the quality was better post merge.

However, if you are saving to buy a high end ski from K2 may I suggest you check out offerings from On3p, Icelandic, Liberty, Moment.... You will not only be buying a high quality ski at a competitive price, but you will also be supporting small buisnesses in North America...everybody wins. Just sayin'

i still have og disorderlys, and they have no damage that makes them unridable so...

Wrong.

Coming from a guy that rides primarily Armada, I'll be quick to admit that K2 and Line make phenomenal skis.

And we should sort something out... K2 Sports owns K2 skis and Line Skis. They are produced in the same factory, but with different materials and processes. It's my opinion that K2 makes a slightly more durable, well-constructed ski, but Line also makes some great skis. Both companies have their price point skis (ex. Line Afterbang and K2 Press) that shouldn't be used to reflect their overall build quality. You get what you pay for.
