Calmer than you dude

They're still in the ski, the tail topsheets are somewhat clear so you can see the plaid.

Seth Morrison is really into punk rock. It's his ski. Plaid is a punk thing I guess, kind of like flanel or cardigans being a grunge thing.

No. It's English, but I'll never understand it. Their reduced unit costs (something like $10/pr., correct me if you know better) come nowhere near to covering their lost goodwill. I owned K2's for well over 20 straight years, often multiple pairs, and I don't have any now. I was a champion of the brand and now I can't imagine that I will ever again have any in the future.

Bwahahahahaaha!!!
I juat can't believe this! Guys, you didn't know about chinese origin of K2 skis before?! Oh my god, they even put labels "Made In China" on their skis!!! I believe, US dealers just rips those stickers off of a national cult ski brand's production... as well as russian dealers do, but it doesn't help - now we have a second (or maybe third) season of debates about chinese origin and "corresponding quality" of these skis... I mean, everybody knows that K2s are made in China. And this is not the point to not to buy them, I think. If you didn't bent your ski during first couple of days of skiing, then it is ok - defective skis bents almost immediately, and you can warranty them.oh shit here comes the ground!

Utly, what I object to is them draping themselves in the flag (which they continually do) even after shifting their production.
In other words, don't piss on my back and tell me it's raining.

To taste, and to touch, and to feel as much as a man can, before he repents.

a good number of foreign auto manufacturers have set up shop in the US. i'd rather have Honda touting "made in the USA" than k2.
ice- what's more american than un-abashed capitalism
