Does anyone have any experience with the K2 Silencer?
Evogear is offering it at about $ 200 and from their description it looks like it would fit my criteria.
I couldn't care less about its park abilities but it sounds like it's a light, resposive ski that would do well in the moguls, groomers and off piste.
My current ski is Head Cyber World cup - the ski is very stable at higher speeds, great on the kind of stuff we get here and not too bad in the moguls due to its geometry (105-64-95), but they are really , really heavy. I'm thinking about spending more time hiking up for my turns (ie. Sherby at Mt. Washington) and these skis, mounted with Look P7.5 (also heavy binding) feel like they weight a ton.
I won't be skinning or getting any AT set up for it. Just plain down hill and hike up.
Thus, I'm looking for something lighter that will ski well all over the mountain, be good in moguls and give me a bit more float in the back country.
The K2 Silencer (113-80-104), sounds like would be a good choice - light and lively. I'm about $ 155lb, 5'6''.
Money is a big factor so the $ 200 price tag is doable. Any other ski that I should be looking for? If so, I may look at the used offerings out there.
Any informed opinions will be greatly appreciated.
