2010/2011 K2 Backlash

I love this ski. The difference between this and the Black Diamond Voodoos and Machines that I am used to skiing was eye opening. Really night and day.

Confirms what L.D. had been saying about them on WildSnow.

Btw, how are you're G3 onyx binders working out for you with lift served?

Yeah I saw Lou's review as well. Admittedly this was part of the reason I bought them.

I can't emphasize enough, however, what a big difference there was between these and my other skis. I noticed it immediately.

Ever since I got the the updated heel-riser screws the Onyx has been excellent. On the older models, the heel risers are notorious for coming off and getting lost. If you contact a dealer they can provide the new risers and screws free of charge which will solve the problem.

Otherwise, they've released when needed and the only premature releases I had were caused by stepping on the heel release lever while doing moguls or getting my skis crossed. (Otherwise known as "insta-tele")
