If all one examined were a ski’s technical attributes—what we at realskiers refer to as its Power rating —the sub-par scores of K2’s Remedy 92 wouldn’t register a ho-hum. But then, we’d only be halfway down the scorecard, wouldn’t we? It’s all the Finesse qualities of the Remedy 92 that redeem it, including its tractability off-piste, which is presumably where the All-Mountain East damsel spends a few special sessions almost every ski day.
The Remedy 92 is unbeatable at slow-speed turns and is similarly matchless at forgiveness, a quality the less skilled skier has to appreciate. The Remedy 92 isn’t one of those A-type personalities that demands to be in charge, and its laidback attitude extends to issues like pilot error, about which it’s ambivalent. Sure, it wouldn’t mind if its pilot were totally dialed in, but it’s not going to have a cow just because the rider smeared an arc. If you need a non-critical friend on your path to world dominance, the Remedy 92 stands ready to serve.
