I’m a bit confused. In reviews, many ski’s get great ratings for edge hold, dampness etc. But when I try them, my teeth rattle out of my mouth and I slip and slide all over the place. The K2 Pinnacle 95, Atomic Vantage 90 CTI etc. are examples of this.
Also, there are some ‘expert’ rated skis that – according to the reviews by people who should know what they’re doing and writing down – should be great for experienced skiers that have some mass and power. But when I get on them, my knees get all the shocks and those skis feel like Cadillac and the bottom hits the road as soon as you just sit in it. Elan Amphibio 16 TI and K2 iKonic 85 TI are examples.
What am I feeling wrong? Or rather, what am I interpreting wrong?
