Our Advice: The Kodiak is an awsome ski, stable at speed with plenty of vibration damping. These skis are torsionally stiff enabling good edge hold on steeper icier terrain and the Free Ride footprint provides ample float in deep snow. Karhu don't issue a turn radius but we recon the ski has a 19/20m radius, the Kodiak certainly prefers longer radius turns without having the turning circle of a super tanker. The wood core is lively to ski with plenty of rebound in the tails and alot of fun to ride. There are rave reviews for the Kodiak on several North American websites. K2 thought that Karhu skis were so good that they have now bought the company.
