Replying to Hmm, can't seem to master the K2 pinnacle 95's
I've been riding these as my main ski for 2 full seasons now... Width-wise they seem ideal for all-mountain-all conditions if there isn't a ton of new snow... I don't know if it's the bindings on the ski "Salomon squire" ... The ski is certainly a fun ski... I find it very maneuverable and easy to turn... but almost too much so; they tend to feel a bit squirley off piste or in variable conditions... the tips almost wanting to turn too eagerly when I encounter bumps, change in snow, or something unexpected; leading to some close calls with losing directional control of my tips. I feel to maintain control of the ski in variable terrain or conditions I need to be driving the ski hard and aggressively all the time to prevent them from wandering... Maybe I should consider replacing these with a different 90-100 underfoot or with a different binding? Any suggestions or similar experience with this ski?
Compared to my Atomic Automatics 109 which feel much more relaxed to control and ski on in the same terrain/conditions... they turn easily when I want yet seem to ski very dependable and reliable even if I'm taking a much more "chill" approach to my skiing. I also have these skis paired with a pair of Tyrolia Attack 13 bindings, which are without question my favorite bindings I've ever owned
