I'm currently talking to a guy about purchasing some 2015 k2 pinnacle 118's in a 184 with a marker jester pro binding for $300. A steal of a deal ...I know. But my other ski is a 2016 k2 marksman wich is 106 underfoot and 177 in length (I know k2 measures short). I'm 5'8 170 lbs and a very powerful aggressive skier, I was just curious if my 2 Ski Quiver would now be too fat or if I could even handle the pinnacle 118s??

My two ski quiver last year was rocker 2 108s for touring, and rocker 2 122 for resort, but the 122s were actually only 115 because I had the 180 length. This year I am keeping my touring setup and riding JJ 2.0s 185cm, those are 116 underfoot. In my opinion you're fine. 106 is enough to ride the tracked days and still float when you find pow, the 118 will be your deep day ski.
I ended up using the 122s 90% of the time in resort. Just more fun.

Ok cool that's what I was thinking...these decisions just have more weight for me now when I'm dropping money on skis as a very broke college student but haha

i ride 106 and 114 for my quiver in the PNW, strongly recommend these widths for a 2 ski quiver on the west coast. i usually end up splitting em 50/50 during the season, but i take the 106s to CO and the east coast when i go out and they are totally fine
