They are the 9Xs from 2 years ago (I think, maybe it's 3 now), and they look like that year's 9Xs, but apparently that's where the similarities end. Matt K. has a former racer of his who has skied both the race-stock and the over-the-counter 9X, and says they're a totally different ski. I have no idea what the dimension of mine are, though they are 191cm in lenth. And they are also one reason I will never abandon groomed McTrails! > Snoop around- K2 Flight/Xs are out there with $99 price tags, new.
