The K2 Obsethed

This post I am going to examine the Obsetheds. This ski Seth Morrison's pro model ski; it was designed , tested, and approved for his style and approach to skiing. This ski focuses on big-mountain and powder skiing. The 2010 model is 105 mm underfoot, and has Progressive Sidecut and Rocker design to enhance flotation in powder and soft snow. However, the shorter rocker design increases it's versatility in crud or on hardpack.

Dimension: 138/105/125

Radius: 24 @ 179/Standard Taper

Construction: Vertical ABS Sidewall

Core: Fir

Features: Tip and Tail 10/20 Rocker Design
3.5 mm Edge
Tip Plate and Tail Rivets
Triaxial Braiding

Sizes: 169, 179, 189

This ski is perfect for the skier who only wants a versitial ski and prefers sking 70% powder and 30% hardpack snow. I currently ski the older model of the Obseths, and they suit me perfectly.
