Greetings,
I currently use 2017 K2 Pinnacle 105’s @ 177cm as my “quiver of one” do-it-all skis. I’m happy with them in soft snow/fresh corduroy but I struggle a bit trying to carve with them when we haven’t had any fresh snow in several days and conditions are “icy” by western standards. I find it hard to get them up on edge enough in those conditions to get nice clean, “railed” turns. I end up pushing them and skidding a bit. I’m guessing it’s much more my fault than the skis, but I’m hoping a narrower ski better at carving might help me improve.
About me:
5’8” height, 220 lbs. Some would say fat, I prefer to think of it as low center of gravity! I average 20 days per year almost entirely in Montana and Idaho. I doubt anyone in their right mind would say I’m a technically good skier, but I ski all over the mountain with a big grin and feel comfortable on most single blacks. I generally stay away from double blacks.
I’ve been looking at:
Nordica Enforcer 88 & 93
Nordica Navigator 90
Atomic Vantage 90 Ti
Liberty V82
Thoughts/opinions? Thanks!
