K2 Darkside Skis 2012

K2 Darkside Skis 2012: As the name suggests, the K2 DarkSide Skis excel on steep, shady north faces and in couloirs whose walls protect the snow from the sun's powder-killing radiation. This year, the rocker starts just in front of the binding further back than any other ski in the collection and turns the tail into both a brake and accelerator. Pressure the shovel to quickly and easily pivot the ski and scrub speed with the normal cambered tail, or pressure the tail for added power and acceleration. *Insert heavy breathing here* Welcome to the DarkSide.
