04/05 Public Enemy vs. 05/06 Public Enemy?

[ShiveringSkier]

So after hearing from you guys, and researching a ton about the Public Enemies, I have decided that these are the skiis for me.

But I think most of the reviews and experiences I have read about are from the 04/05 PE's which are 5 mm thinner than this years.

Will this make a big defference, and what is your input on the defferences between the two if you have skiied both?

thanks so much,

new ones rule, just like old ones but little better.

can't go wrong w either.. my only gripe...you lose some ski to the twin tail & 179 is the largest size...

Last season mine travel w/ me thru VT,UT,MT, NH...enjoy

I just got some new '05 PEs for $169 at Chicks Sporting Goods in CA.

Longest they carry are 169cm.

At which location? Do they have 159cm? Looking for something for my daughter.

k2 twins are measured by running length. so this is not true.

Yeah,
you definitely do lose some running length to the twin! I measured all my K2 factory series skis Madens Vicious and PE this year and 189 are at tops equal to a 182/183 flat tail GS ski the 179 are 172/173. the Publics are Still great skis carve nicely and rip in the bumps for 85 underfoot. I guess the industry keeps trying forcing us to ski on shorter skis thease days! and we thought we dodged that Metron bullet "K2 make a 184 or 189 PE"
