08/09 Obsethed for 200 lb charger?
REI has an amazing deal on this year's K2 Obsethed. They look like a great ski for 200 lb, ex-racer big mountain skier.... am I right? Currently on Rossi Squad 104s. Super happy with those, but in the really light pow occasionally suffer from tip dive.
Any thoughts before I pick them up?

Delete this thread and post it in tech talk were people will not get angry at you for cutting up ski/snowboard.

205, 6'1. skied the 189 today in east coast corn. They ripped, super stable. I mounted at 'traditional' marking, and would consider going back from there maybe 2cm. Really pleased.
You might want to check sierraskis.com, think the price is lots better than rei

You near tahoe? I talked myself into the 189s, I like the ski but it's too big for me (5'9" 165#), mounted once with small dukes, +3, also a poor choice. I'll sell them cheap if you're interested, skiied three times.

I use my own cum to wax my K2 Obsetheds and they fly like the wind.

for the record, checked out sierraskis.com and ended up buying the 197 Katana.

Good luck with your credit debt. 200 pounds is a lot these days... Hope you can find a job and get some cash to stop charging.
