Today starts the countdown to winter!

     Well.. at least to Burton Snowboards that is. I've watched Burton's new video on their homepage. I couldn't quite figure out what the countdown was but maybe it was because I was laughing my ass off at the actors and their gnarly stash's. As I reminisced on all my old college days when Anchorman came out I think to myself about the good ole days of old school, hot dogging and think how much the ski trends move in a full rotation. Anchorman was my Halloween outfit one year and an old school skier was another.. kind of reminds me out these actors.

     These trends come around full rotation so rule number one is never throw away your old gear. Yeah, you may be able to give that old jacket to cousin Johnny but store it away in a closet or attic and pull it out in 20 years and it will be cool again.

     Speaking of cool you Gotta check out the new K2 gear for this 2012 winter season. We got some new K2 twin tips that I had a chance to get out on at Okemo, VT on a demo day and I was quite impressed.

Here is the video of the new 2012 K2 Recoil ski.

The new K2 Recoil takes over for the 2011 K2 Revival ski. The Revival just needed a name change and K2 switched the ski to a more park friendly rocker.  My personal ski was the '11 K2 Revival Iron Maiden and I got to ski the '12 Recoil and it felt like I was right back at home.

Shoot me any questions you may have on any of the K2 Skis because I have got out on just about all of them! Jay@park2peak.com or watch out K2 Ski reviews on the new 2012 K2 AMP line the K2 Twin Tips, the K2 Backside series or other ski questions you may have.
