Slither down the slopes at breakneck speed, then snake your way through the trees like a water moccasin after a possum when you ski the K2 Apache Sidewinder Ski w/ Marker MX 12.0 Binding. The Sidewinder cuts it up on-piste like Fred Astair on meth, then powers through crud, chop, and poof with the wrathful fury of a biblical plague. K2 gave this all-mountain plank a torsion box to withstand hardcore abuse without getting chatty, and Mod Monic technology that distributes mass in a way that gifts you the smoothest ride since Marvin Gaye's “Let's Get It On.”

Tougher than a '73 Harley, more versatile than a double-jointed Vegas hooker.
