PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Extreme Alpine Ski is K2's tribute to all things radical, dudical, and totally gnarly. Modeled on last year's do-it-all frontside freestyle weapon, the Public Enemy, the Extreme borrows a killer topsheet from the late 80's icon to boost your retro steeze off the charts. Recent modifications like triaxial-braided, torsion box construction mean this wood-cored plank will perform consistently in variable conditions, from East Coast ice rinks to Sierra slop and most everywhere in between. And much like a neon one-piece or a 3-foot-tall mohawk would, the Extreme's graphic radness allows unabashed exploitation of the old school trick catalog…although its directional twintip design will work fine for modern takeoffs and landings as well. We think they're called “switch-eroo” and involve something called a “terrain park” but that's all new to us. Now, if they just came in 210cm…
Bottom line
K2 tha Extreme, it rocks the slopes like a vandal.

I skied 40 days on this ski in australia. I loved them good in any condiions crud ,bumps ,powder ,hardpacked,steeps. only down side they dont like ice but who does and the tops sheets cracked up a bit. but a alot of fun.
K2 Extreme
I got suckered into buying these skis back in the 80's when they were being touted as the ultimate extreme ski(for hucking cliffs, mashing moguls, shreding couloirs,etc.)with input from Scott Schmidt and Glen Plake. I can honestly say they were pretty much absolute crap! The tips delaminated within a couple of weeks and had to be returned. As for performance they pretty much had a mind of their own(this from someone who skied proffesionaly every day of the season). Bottom line, demo before you buy and never believe the hype!
