sick!

bomber design, great lateral control, adjustable tension. how sweet. these are such burly bindings!! They pair up great with a t1 or t-race, havocs or piste pipes. This binding is not light, but it won't break. I was tired of replacing my cracked/broken g3 cables. And now I have more torsional control and can dial my binding up to be more active. I just wish it was a 4 hole pattern to fit my skis with inserts... |

Float the fluff and more!
12-21-05 ![]() |
I am a 5ft 4in 120lb skier and I have skied the 167cm Work Stinx for almost two seasons now. They rock! Obviously not an all conditions ski, but they do well enough in most non-powder conditions that you can ski them after the mountain is tracked out. Groom takes a little finesse but is certainly doable. Although they flex and chatter some as you ride the bases, they tighten up once you put them on edge. A little extra lower leg angle is all that's needed to control them on the groom. Ice is questionable, no big surprise there. I skied the Works thru this summer in the Colorado Mountains. They spank corn, hold their own in crud and can even handle old bulletproof summer snow with some input from the skier. They are pretty soft for the really heavy mank or ice but I have been surprised at how versatile they are. They feel very light underfoot and have a soft snappy flex that makes you feel like a hero in the pow. They are light enough I have toured with them when the conditions warrant. I love these skis! |

| K2 Piste Pipe Telemark Ski This product is no longer available |
solid, dependable, playful
05-01-07 ![]() |
I love these skis! Quiver-of-one-worthy if they weren't quite so heavy. Though they aren't light, they are so solid, especially in crud, corn and chowder. I find them to be firm and snappy on the groom, and never have any chatter on the ice. The piste pipes are very playful for such a crudbuster-- these are not just stiff planks. The big shovels and 85mm waist mean that they will float in all but the deeper fluff, though they won't give you the soft, porpoise-y ride in the pow that you could get with a softer ski. This is my day-to-day ski as a patroller, and they hold up well, especially considering the rocks that I subject my skis to. The burly bases and edges have held up well, though the sidewalls do get chopped up. A great ski for the resort skier that likes to ski off-piste. A killer corn ski. The twin tips make for good times in the bumps and better maneuverability in tight trees. Awesome! |
