The K2 Pinnacle 105 2018 is a brilliantly versatile, agile and powerful ski that is sure to be a popular sight charging across the mountain this winter.

The K2 Pinnacle 105 is yet another good surfy ski from K2. Of course, as the widest ski in the Pinnacle range, it is a superstar off piste, with stability guaranteed across varying terrains. It floats beautifully across soft powder and handles deeper snow and crud with ease.

With softer tips, turn initiation is smooth and bumps will feel easy!

It cuts through crud well and you never feel like you are out of control on this ski. Its light yet powerful responsiveness underfoot really keeps you feeling secure in your skiing and you can really concentrate on perfecting your technique.

This easy turn initiation makes the K2 Pinnacle 105 a very lively, playful ski, which is not always the case in skis with such wide waist measurements. This really allows you to get the best out of the ski and out of yourself and enables you to fully enjoy your experience across the mountain. No matter the terrain, you know this ski will do the best job.

K2 Pinnacle 105 2018 Ski Review

For someone looking for their first 100+mm ski, the K2 Pinnacle 105 is a perfect choice – it handles so well it is hard to believe it has a 105mm waist! If you want to try your hand at a wider ski while not feeling too uncomfortable or stiff on the piste, the Pinnacle 105 does just that. It’s a great choice for an expert skier looking to push themselves that little bit more and try something slightly different.

Overall, the K2 Pinnacle 105 is a very enjoyable ski guaranteed to put a smile on your face and give you the confidence to step your skiing up to the next level.
