Like these?In that picture is Chris Ryman, a very good friend on ours. We get to ski with him quite a bit here at Northstar. I wills ay the first 5500 that is shown in that picture was not my favorite, the next generation with the Triaxal braiding was a more playful ski.
Yes, that ski...the graphics before though...Like these?
Wasn't Nelson on Rossignol?The 1983-1984 K2 5500 Unlimited is a terrific mid-level + all-mountain ski. It is more than enough ski for the recreational expert. Nelson Carmichael, the best mogul skier ever, would have won the 1997 pro-mogul championship skiing the 5500 Unlimited. It is my prototype.
Looks like @Bob Peters

Who skied in the Sybervision tape with Jean Claude Killy?In that picture is Chris Ryman, a very good friend on ours. We get to ski with him quite a bit here at Northstar.

Had the second from the bottom.Yes, that ski...the graphics before though...
The third one down was my favorite skiing 5500
Yes he was in Sybervision.Who skied in the Sybervision tape with Jean Claude Killy?
That's some great skiing he did with Jens Husted. Still relevant today. The 4-5 minutes of JC Killy skiing powder with real piano music, not synthesized like the rest, is one of the great sequences ever filmed in rec skiing. Despite all the mistakes from JC. Then it morphs into Ryman and Husted skiing moguls with JC. Really great stuff.Yes he was in Sybervision.
Well the 5500 is shaped.. I already have those funky “shaped” skis,
