Not sure if this is the right place to post about this but here goes.
I've won any K2 skis up to a value of $649 CA.
I'm moving to whistler for the upcoming season and I was hoping for some pointers on which K2 ski would be best for all mountain riding ( I already have armada arv 86s that I'm bringing as well). I've never looked into K2 before now so I don't know much about their skis. Also any pointers regarding binding that would go well with the ski you're recommending would be great. Thanks for any pointers in advance. Cheers.

The Marksman if you like jibbing and jumping or otherwise the mindbender for a more directional ski

Seems like you already got a park plank. I'd say go marksman for erryday or catamaran for the deep days, both really really fun skis. I heard the mindbender charges so if you're into that go for it. I know alotta people hate on k2 for their corporate image but their lineup is pretty sweet, that's a sick score.

Get yourself a pair of Mindbender 108s or even the 116s for deeper days. They are a very fun ski. Ive always rode center mounted twin skis, but I ride the Mindbhender 108, and its one of my favorite skis. A hard charger for sure! If youre looking for something softer go for the Marksman or the Catamaran. Mad fun aswell

Probably some sort of trick to get us to look up the K2 catalog and it worked.
OP IDK what skis are in the price range but if it is not all of them then you need to talk to the rep and get him to let you pay the difference. The fattest K2 skis offered also have their highest MSRP.
I would seriously consider just saying F it and get those black Pon2oons with the neon green bases. Those things look so sick for when there is actually snow.
Mindbender also looks dope and if you are short enough to ski 179s you can get black and neon pink Mindbenders which is also pretty dope. Not so sure about the hunter orange and camo Mindbenders but that is what you will need if you ride the longer lengths and it will also serve you well if you are fortunate enough to get out early enough when it is still hunting season.
Mindbender 115 and 116 seems more like an all mountain ski for every day in BC.
Catamaran is probably the way to go in all honesty. Fat enough to be a tru pow ski at 120 under foot but it is not absurdly huge and the shape looks like it would be ok to get around in all conditions if you need to. Looks like your best bet for carving switch in pow.
