K2 Seths, ObSETHeds, help me out

OK, I am deciding on my ski for next year and I think it is down to the K2 Seth model. I am not sure if I should go with last years model or this years. I will want it to ski pow very well and charge hard, but I need to be able to hold up in the park on big, hardpacked jumps and rails. I also want it to be able to keep up with friends while ripping the occasional groomer.

Give me help. Here are the 2 skis:

True, all-condition twin tip skis designed by Seth Morrison as a single freestyle tool to attack anything mother nature throws at you. FIND A


The 98mm waist width, mini rocker, and progressive sidecut make the K2 Seth Skis a force to be reckoned with in the softest snow, but the generous sidecut in the tip and all-mountain flex make the K2 Seth Skis ideal for the groomers. Add on a twin tip and you have the most versatile ski in the K2 line.
