2011 K2 Freeride and freestyle skis

K2's freeride and freestyle ranges are also heavily tweaked, with greater widths and some new models dropped in.

The main range is called Factory, which is where the current Fall Line Ski of the Year, the Kung Fujas, comes from.

The Kung Fujas goes up a few mm in width and gets a tad more rocker. The other signature model, Seth Morisson's Obsethed, also gets a lot wider, up to 117mm underfoot which is a significantly fat ski.

Not as fat as the new 132mm Hellbent, mind you - complete with fanged clown graphics. We'll update images as we get them.

In the saner end of the range the Revival replaces the Public Enemy; a widish, stiffish all-mountain twin. The new 90mm Domain picks up the serious park credentials with centre-mounting bindings and full symetrical shape for ease of riding switch.

The new Press is another park ski for the rail wreckers out there, landing at a sub-£250 price. A bit narrower, a lot softer and it sounds like an ideal dryslope and dome tool.
