I have a pair of the older, pre-rockered Shuksan, which I skied for years, both for mountain tours and all-mountain front and sidecountry. It is an excellent all-round ski, and pretty light for what it does. Just wanna put this out there if anyone's tempted.

Bump 170$ CAN

Rod,
From past experience I’ve found that K2’s stated lengths are usually about 2cms shy of the actual. What do these actually measure?

The reason I ask is because I had a great ski today on 170 cm, 78mm underfoot G3 Stinger waxless, and thought about getting smooth base ski in the same range. I even thought about trying them with wax after reading Al’s posts on waxing single cambered skis, if it doesn’t work I can always sue him

For the record I’m 145 lbs.

Hello Nick,
These are exactly 160 cm... True to size, I would say. This ski has a lot of pop to it (not flat or reverse camber). I weight 137 lbs. At 145, you'll be alright. As far as length goes, it depends on your preferences. The have a little rocker; they do not feel short at all, like you feel on some skis (like Blizzard all-mountain series for exemple...).
