Smokin da PistePipe
Mark T: 
I drive these skis mounted with Bishop Bombers and the Garmont Energys. If you are the kind of person who has to drive, not comfortable in the passenger seat, then this ski/binding/boot combo is the shiznit. This combo is so powerful, you definitely must be in active control, can not just be along for the ride. If you mount em centered they turn real quick, but are a bit sketch at high speeds. But you can set the binding back some and get excellent float through the PowPow. Of course, if you have the desire to break yourself off a piece of the rails this ski is so ready. Super tuff edges and bases, I don't do the park but, have been in the trees and rocks this season and have heard a few base shots that sounded really rough, but I can barely see any scratches, let alone core shots...Very happy with this ski, only downside I can find, is really firm groomers are a bit chattery, but if you lay the edge over more and press even harder the ski digs in and rails. And who wants to be on super hard grooomer anyway.
Piste Pipe Twin Tip Telemark Ski
Chuck Michael:
I've been on alpine skis for over 35 years and wanted to try Telemarking. I tried Telemarking earlier this season on an older set-up and it was very hard for me to "get it together". After talking w/ several of this sites reps I picked the Piste Pipe w/ G3 bindings. This combo rocks and made the transition from alpine to tele turns very easy! Not only I would recommend these skis to other people, but I would highly recommend buying them here. Everyone I talked with was very knowledgeable and was an enthusiast of the sport! I will look here first when I need anything in the future!
Piste Pipe Review from Colorado
drop_knees__not_bombs: 
When skiing the 183 K2 Piste Pipe inbounds, found that the ski adapts very easily to different conditions. The Piste Pipe cuts you slack when you roll into boilerplate from the fluff. The ski responds great edge-to-edge, rolls smoothly, and it would work very well as a work ski for Patrol or Mountain Operations people. Twin tips make intro to backwards skiing fun and make finishing the turn in crusty crap snow a bit more forgiving than the flat tail of a typical ski. Found that the twin-tip also finishes cleaner than a non-twin-tip ski in steep terrain. This mid-fat ski is now my ultimate favorite tele-ski. I drive it with G3 Targa T/9 bindingsgreat combo. Thanks K2! These skis ROCK! Tele-skiers have an all around ski with incredible versatility. -Craig in Nederland
solid, dependable, playful
rockies skier:
I love these skis! Quiver-of-one-worthy if they weren't quite so heavy. Though they aren't light, they are so solid, especially in crud, corn and chowder. I find them to be firm and snappy on the groom, and never have any chatter on the ice. The piste pipes are very playful for such a crudbuster-- these are not just stiff planks. The big shovels and 85mm waist mean that they will float in all but the deeper fluff, though they won't give you the soft, porpoise-y ride in the pow that you could get with a softer ski. This is my day-to-day ski as a patroller, and they hold up well, especially considering the rocks that I subject my skis to. The burly bases and edges have held up well, though the sidewalls do get chopped up. A great ski for the resort skier that likes to ski off-piste. A killer corn ski. The twin tips make for good times in the bumps and better maneuverability in tight trees. Awesome!
easy install
Tigers64:
I am enjoying my piste pipes. As they are my first pair of tele's its hard for me to review them, but i will say the inserts were awesome. I got g3 targas for my bindings and installing them on the inserts was a piece of cake. I would highly recommend these sticks.
