So you re looking for a touring ski that ll rock in soft pow without turning your legs into two heavy slow things on the skin up? The K2 Mt. Baker Superlight Alpine Touring Ski has 88mm underfoot, a long tip for predictability in the soft stuff, and it weighs in at a modest 52oz (per ski). The Superlight s shallow, progressive sidecut makes this touring ski predictable so you won t waste all that hoofing-it up the mountain on a warm-up run down.

I just bought a pair of 167s and thought the boot center mark looks too far back. When I compared them with my 167 red Mt Bakers, the boot center mark was 1.5 cm farther back on the Superlights measured from the shovel. I’ll be mounting Dynafits, but am not convinced that I should be using the provided mark. Any thoughts? Thanks.

I currently ski 05/06 volkl mantras 177 which wiegh in at 8lbs a pair. I am 6’4″ and about 195lbs, the volkls have been great, but they are beat to hell. I’m considering going with the superlights as my new setup, which I plan to use heavily in the PNW this spring. I like to ski fast and aggressively, so I wonder if the regular Bakers might be better for me considering my size ?, although it would be REALLY nice to haul a pair of 6lb skis around rather than the 8lb bakers. Any one have any thoughts as to going with the Baker vs. Superlight at my size?

Pietro, I can’t get either of those URLs to work, even after editing. But if you simply search Ebay for K2 skis, there are plenty of deals.

Here is a URL that works:
