Hate to absolutely shamelessly copycat a reverse of a thread that's been around forever, and this has probably been done before but we're all bored as shit rn.
I had a pair of blizzard peacemakers as the first twin tips i ever bought and i loved the way they skied and used em till bhey broke but god damn who approved this graphic.
patagonialukeThat's the 102, which I think I like better than the 112. The 122's graphic is by far my favorite of the series, which I think mostly just comes down to the colors. I just don't really love the cream color for some reason.
I do like the McFetridge limited-edition graphic though:

did a quick and dirty photoshop of white reckoner 112's
I loved the flex and rebound. I found them pretty surfy with the taper and rocker. I wish they still made that ski.
I gifted mine to a crazy Czech friend name Jan who loves shots and cliff drops to flat
DilldoesDurangoI still have mine. My wife now uses it as a "powder" ski when I'm not beating them trying to learn rail shit that I'm a decade too old to do.
SimkiwinkiSaw these at a shop a few days ago and thought they look pretty nice like definetly my favorite topshet from blizzard except for the black bodacious
Fair enough maybe they're one of those skis you need to see in person to appreciate, that picture hurts my eyes though.
I dont mind the art work at all, its the rainbow colors that kill me. If they did this graphic with just black, grey, and orange They could be 100x better
I do think the 2013s are ugly as sin but I think the 2012s got a raw deal on this thread. I remember really thinking the skis just looked so much better in person when they arrived. They really pop in person.

Edit: I own a pair so I can talk shit....

While I agree these graphics aren't k2's best, the colour of the tyrolias are not doing em any favours in this pic. Would look way less jarring on some pivot raws.
DesertStixDid anyone see those Reckoners on Karl’s story a few days ago? Highlighter yellow or something. @bradwalters[/tag] ??
The pop color on the Reckoner 112 is a bright yellow. Wanted something to contrast the dark red and black that is on the ski and help the illustration jump off the ski a little bit.

The onlyyyy graphic I don’t like on the 2022 Reckoners are the 112’s... probably the only reason I’ll go with the 2021’s (cream with eyes) over the 2022’s...
I like the 122’s and the 102’s are just as nice but those 112’s are a sight for sore eyes

All good! We’re keeping it moving over here so hopefully there is something for everyone! I’m currently skiing the eye ones also.
Easilyyyy my favorite graphics other than the Bent Chetlers. The Reckoner 102’s are slowly becoming my favorite ski for Midwest shit
Hell yeah glad to hear it! It’s funny because this ski has ended up on this thread as being the ugliest graphic but you say here that you love it.
This is what I love to hear. I love that people have opinions about the new art that we’re making at K2. Love em or hate em, we’re aiming to give the ski industry something new.
The K2 Juvy. They were my first twin tip ski as a kid but I absolutely hated the graphics. I’ve always hated the flashiness of bright colors on skis which is unfortunate now because I got Magnus 102s but these skis were just terrible to the eye. Not to mention that they were identical so there was no uniform to which ski went to which foot.
me and my brother and my sister went through a pair of these and now my little brother is skiing them, quite durable i guess
armchair_skierI swear Line's park skis get uglier every year
Their all mountain/powder skis look amazing though. Also the chronic looks great this year for once.
This is far from their worst. They had a period of like 2010-2015 where their skis were just the ugliest fucking things in the world. I do like the way the skis feel though
lapinnopeinBlizzard’s skis have always been on of my favourites. They would however be at the top if their desing.... would be a little bit more interesting 🥴

i just had a look at them, ugly af. but you're right, there is something i love about the way blizzards skis feel.
