 Hi I'm Steve from Alice Brigham and this is Mark and we're here today just to talk a little bit about the K2 Disruption MTI. So this is a new ski for this season though we did actually have some in on an early release last year as an exclusive in the UK so we know we've got quite a bit of knowledge on this ski already but just to give you a bit of the tech spec here's someone from K2 to talk it through. Here we have the new K2 Disruption MTI. MTI stands for medium turn radius so we're sitting around 18 meters in a turn side cut and also a 73 mil waist. Now that's quick edge-to-edge it's very smooth and easy to ski at lower speeds but you can really give it the nuts when you want to go fast. We've got two bits of main technology in here that will help you get down the slopes with ease. You've got tight no-eye beams so that is single strips down the front and in the tail and then full width metal underfoot. That gives you great energy and power transmission underfoot and then low frequency vibration dampening in the tip and tail. Couple that with our new Darkmatic dampening that's a carbon rubber polymer layer that takes out the shearing forces and high frequency vibrations so all in all you get a very very smooth ride. Ideally targeted a high-performing skier looking state on the piece and someone that's going on a couple of weeks a year and generally just enjoying every colour of run. Our tester feedback has been outstanding and that was from across a wide variety of skier abilities and types. Okay so now you've got some lowdown on the ski we're going to tell you a little bit about how we felt when we were skiing it. So first thing I should say is this is our runner-up in the ski the year in the Peter category so it's obviously a good ski but here just we're going to give you a little bit more information as to why we feel it is so good. So Mark first of all you were skiing this what did you think where were you skiing it how was it? So a little bit about my skiing I'm quite lazy quite fast skier and this ski kind of ticked all the boxes for me. Super solid very smooth not overly tiring either so it suited me down to the ground. The piece was pretty firm a little bit choppy but there's no problem on these. What about you how did you feel on them? Yeah I'm probably skiing it a little bit slower than Mark but so I like the fact that it feels really solid underfoot you get a lot of grip from the ski but the speed rocker's just making it a little bit easier in and out of the turn really appreciate that and one of the things I really like is it's a it's a peace ski it's quite a narrow waist 74 mil but it's still got quite a long radius on it and you don't get many recreational skis with the longest radius and a short waist that narrow waist so yeah I love that feel to it it meant that you could just be a you could cruise on it a bit more at speed as well so I think one of the standout things for me is I skied this some quite hard quite packed run where maybe the ski could get away from me and it didn't at all it's still it's a bit really well but it just it wasn't easy it wasn't hard in and out of the turn which was maybe expecting for a stiffer ski so I really enjoyed that and I think I also quite like the fact that K2 it's not like a typical ski brand and they're really sort of showing where they come from it one with the name disruption and two the fact that it's not full of lary graphics and also it's got dark matter dampening I mean what's not to like the ski with dark matter dampening so yeah anything else on that no I mean like you said you talk about looks for me I think it looks really good it's not as you said your typical piece it's got a slight twist on it and I really like it so we'd like to hear your comments if you skied it put something in below or if you've got any questions let us know thanks for listening
