For the steepest and deepest terrain, you want the K2 ObSETHed skis. Powder Rocker on this fat waisted ski makes for surfy floatation and the ABS sidewalls are designed to absorb impact to soften landings. Pro skier, Seth Morrison worked with K2 engineers to design the K2 ObSETHed skis to be soft and wonderful in the backcountry or the inbounds early morning powder, and to handle the afternoon cut up crud as well, with just enough camber underfoot to get you through the hard pack on the way to and from the lift.
  • Powder/All Terrain Rocker - long rocker for floaty soft snow performance, with a bit of camber for edge grip in firmer snow
  • Twin Tip - this ski shape optimizes bi-directional performance
  • ABS/Urethane Hybrid Sidewalls - horizontal sidewall construction utilizes urethane underfoot for vibration dampening, and ABS toward the tip and tail for shock absorption and edge control
  • Triaxial Braiding - fiberglass braided around the wood core provide torsional rigidity to increase control, responsiveness, energy, and forgiveness

Expert Review:

"Seth Morrison knew exactly what he wanted in this pro model big mountain tool - camber and rocker in the same ski that gives it major floatation and carveability. Modified tip and tail rocker keeps the ski adapting to the subtle changes in snow and terrain and still allows arcing ruts on groomers." George 'Squid' Sideris, Jans Mountain Recreation Expert

Industry Review:

SKI MAGAZINE Assessment:

The ObSETHed is part of K2's Factory Team series, which consists of skis used by K2's pro team athletes. Narrower and stiffer underfoot than the Hellbent, Seth Morrison's pro model is built for charging fast, steep lines and sending big drops, but it retains plenty of width, at 117mm in the waist, to float deep snow. Powder rocker helps it plane high in deep snow and ups maneuverability. Holes in the tip and tail accommodate pre-cut climbing skins (sold separately).


Powder Magazine Assessment:

Skier's Choice Draft Pick. Seth incorporated Powder Rocker to create the ultimate tool to charge big mountains, backcountry zones and the resorts. The Powder Rocker design eliminates tip dive and breaks through crud, crust, and chopped-up conditions. The Progressive Sidecut and camber underfoot makes the obSethed a ski for all conditions and terrain, combining precise turn initiation on hardpack with an easy tail release in soft conditions too. That's Seth looking out for the masses.
