K2 Work Stinx Ski Review

K2 Work Stinx

The K2 Work Stinx is one of the most popular tele skis. And for a good reason. It's a great all round ski that you can ski at the resorts and in the backcountry. The K2 rep told me a they sell to a lot of ski patrollers. She also explained that the ski has 2 different radius sidecuts in the front and in the back. The shorter front radius help initiate your turn and the longer radius helps hold the ski in the turn.

PROS
The dimensions of the ski are 124-88-111 (mm). The larger shovel helps bust the crud and float in the powder. I thought the ski held up well in high speed long arching turns. Other reviews I've read say other wise, but the snow was soft, so on the icy hard pack it might be a different story.

CONS
The K2 Work Stinx skis like a much longer ski. It's not as quick in short radius turns as other skis I've skied. Maybe that's due to the longer radius sidecut in the back of the ski. It might be worth getting a the shorter size of this ski, if your style is short, quick turns.
