Description of K2 Dawn Patrol Telemark Ski - Women's:
Whether you're waking up at four a.m. for first tracks in the backcountry or six a.m. for the first chair, throw the K2 Women's Dawn Patrol Telemark Ski in the back of the car and you'll be ready to carve, float, and charge through anything the mountain has to offer. The Dawn Patrol Telemark Ski gives advanced free-heel females a wide waist and shovel for the powder and a deep sidecut for quick handling and carving performance. A Bioflex core puts stiff-flexing fir underfoot for stability at speed, and adds a softer-flexing spruce wood under the tip and tail for forgivingness and turn initiation. The core construction, along with versatile dimensions, makes the Dawn Patrol a ripping powder ski that has enough teeth for the hard pack.
Bottom Line: When the weather report says “snow” and the avalanche report says “low,” reach for the Dawn Patrol Telemark Skis.
I've used this ski for about three years both in the resort and backcountry. For the most part I was able to ski everything (moguls, ice, powder, crud etc) without to many problems. This year I switched to the K2 Mt. baker SL only because I wanted something light and stiffer for ski mountaineering. If I was only doing resort skiing or skiing powder in the backcountry I would probably stick with the dawn patrol- and for $250 you are going to hard pressed to find a better ski.
