opinions of K2 Public Enemy and Nancy (06/7)?

[crazy_t]

Has anyone here owned/skied/heard much about these skis? Friends are looking at them, I told them I'd ask around.

 

Thanks for your time!

I've got a pair of public enemies - good for somethings, not for others. They're too soft to shread steep bumps. If you're going to use them pretty much only in the park - they're good, All-mountain - maybe not as good.

thanks, that's what I was looking for. Anyone else?

don't have a clue about nancy, but i have a pair of public enemies i mounted with tele bindings. oddly enough i rented a pair with regular downhill bindings because i love the skis and was curious if i'd prefer to have them mounted with downhill bindings (because my tele skills are a little lacking) ... but i actually didn't like them as much with downhill bindings. i don't do much in the park except skim around; they're all mountain skis for me. people hate skiing behind me when i use 'em (because they kick up so much spray) ... but maybe they just need to learn how to ski faster. ;-)

 

i love my public enemies. i'm changing out a couple of other pairs of skis in my quiver that i'm not so happy with, but i won't change my PE's. :-)

ps - i actually find these skis to be pretty solid performers. i don't ski bumps unless i have to (or want to be punished) ... and i'm a light skier. if you don't like wood skis don't bother, though - some people prefer a damper ski they can muscle around more.
