Description of K2 Piste Pipe Telemark Ski :
K2's Piste Pipe Ski is more than just a halfpipe jibber—it's an all-mountain master. Even if you don't plan on exploring switch tele turns, the twin tips make it easier to land your 540s, and the turned-up tails throw a huge rooster tail that will impress (or tick off) old-school, crunchy pinners. The beefy dimensions eat up powder and crud and give you a solid landing platform when you find yourself spinning around in the air. The Piste Pipe Skis' stiff flex provides the precision you need to carve up the pipe or dice through manky March conditions. With ABS sidewalls and thicker, more durable edges than K2's freeride offerings, the Piste Pipe can take on any rock, rail or hard landing. Three sets of inserts allow you to quickly change the binding position depending on the conditions. Center your stance for the pipe, move it back for the powder. *Not available for shipping outside US.

Bottom Line: Smoke the park, pipe, or the entire mountain with the K2 Piste Pipe Skis.

Good all mountain for an east coaster who goes West    07-26-05
teleboz (3): rank
I’m a 5'7" 150lb skier in PA, WV and New England. I bought 170cm last year with the Targa T9 bindings and used in some epic snow at Alta over Easter. These things floated nicely in a foot or two of pow, and I was so glad I had them. They are stable at fast speeds on the groomers and can edge well on the steeps, and landing jumps is so easy. My other ski is the Super Stinx. Piste Pipes aren't quite as snappy in the moguls, which is why I rate a 4, but the bumps out west are so consistent, that they work great as an all mountain ski out there if you travel but don't live there. I would personally prefer a hardwire instead of T9 binding on this ski just for added stability and power.

Piste Pipe Review from Colorado   12-09-02
drop_knees__not_bombs (3): rank
When skiing the 183 K2 Piste Pipe inbounds, found that the ski adapts very easily to different conditions. The Piste Pipe cuts you slack when you roll into boilerplate from the fluff. The ski responds great edge-to-edge, rolls smoothly, and it would work very well as a work ski for Patrol or Mountain Operations people. Twin tips make intro to backwards skiing fun and make finishing the turn in crusty crap snow a bit more forgiving than the flat tail of a typical ski. Found that the twin-tip also finishes cleaner than a non-twin-tip ski in steep terrain. This mid-fat ski is now my ultimate favorite tele-ski. I drive it with G3 Targa T/9 bindings—great combo. Thanks K2! These skis ROCK! Tele-skiers have an all around ski with incredible versatility. -Craig in Nederland

Skis that make tele-rippin easy   03-14-05
Slacker (1): rank
At first glance I was a little intimidated by these twin tippers with metal studs, but when I actually got to ride them it was love at first turn. First off they float well through soft snow, easily bust through crud and they are stand outs in bumps. The rooster tail gives the skier behind you face shots the whole way down too. They're easy to maneuver, have an incredible sweet-spot, and built confidence enough to land switch off kickers. My only misgivings is the fact that I have been taking huge divots out of the inside top edge right around the boot when the skis knock together. I've been on them maybe twenty days and I've already needed to epoxy the divots and am ready to switch bindings to even out the ruts. If you’re an aggressive skier looking for ski to play in the snow in just about any conditions east of the Mississippi and any but the deepest days west of the Mississippi, I highly recommend the pipes. Just watch the inside edge.
