The Pursuit – EP161 – Going off the Deep End – Kimberley Benson Joe DeBlasio
Season Eqpt has taken a totally new approach to selling skis, in that they want you to buy them, and run them into dust. The all-black lineup of quality skis has targeted the skier that wants to purchase skis, just less often. I beat the snot out of these, and when I talked to Josh Malczyk from Season, his response was as on-brand as possible. “Tools, not Jewels”
Price: $595
Size Tested: 181cm
Size of Tester: 6ft /220 lbs
Binding Tested With: Tyrolia Attack 13/Salomon Shift
If you pay attention to any of our channels, you might know by now that I have swooned pretty hard for this ski over the past 10 months. I have around 30 days on this ski and there wasn’t a snow condition I didn’t get to play around on.
Smol.
The shape is a beautiful hourglass-like figure. Wide tip, tight underfoot, wide tail. This must be what all the old heads are going on about when they say “shaped skis”.
The Kin is soft, but not a soggy noodle. It’s like when you cooked your pasta for the ideal amount of time, and even remember to add some of that pasta water back in at the end. This ski certainly has a top speed. The nice thing is, most of us mortals are never finding it. There’s no such thing as a “bomber” ski that is also playful, those two terms are contradictory. “Balanced” however, is a thing that seems to be a great descriptor for Kin.
At $599, this value is excellent, especially when you consider the fact that most skiers enjoy an all-mountain twin, of some form or another. That disgusting word, versatile, is exactly what a ski like the kin is. You don’t need to know the conditions, you just need to know that you can be confident in the equipment. Rest assured here.
Fit: 7.5 | Function: 9.0 |Fashion/Aesthetic: 9.5
Final Score: 8.7/10
