ok i was wondering about that because i have 189 pistols and they are way longer than my buddy's 192 line motherships




Why do your skis curve up on both ends?

Ya take a tape measure and measure the whole base of the 189 pistols, bigger than you think.

Its all K2 skis.

They all 'ski longer' than they actually are if that makes any sense...

its measured that way on all k2 skis because the twin tips are so much more twin tipped than any other ski.
