    Suggestions for Taos-specific used skis?

    Howdy: I'm a longtime Colorado Epic skier who now has access to a free place to stay in Taos and a season pass. It's been fun this year exploring the chutes and trees of Taos. But it's clear my Colorado gear (several FIS skis SL and GS and a 190 cm 110 underfoot powder ski) are not ideal for...

    K2 Turbo Charger Dimensions: 129-72-107 Radius: 13m@165cm Sizes: 158, 165, 172 Size tested: 165 Design: Carryover/NGT Drahtguy Kevin: (from last year) This K2 offering is easier to ski than a race-oriented slalom ski. Turn initiation is a tad slower and the ski isn’t as quick across the fall...

    Individual Review Long-Term Review: 2018 K2 Pinnacle 95

    K2 went back to the drawing board with the new Pinnacle 95. It didn't fix what wasn't broken but evolved a few things by modifying the construction and extending the wheelbase. Both changes make the skis more stable -- err, serious -- without losing any of the fun. Why do I keep emphasizing the...

    Cage Match Comparison 2017 DPS Cassiar Foundation 95 vs 2017 K2 Pinnacle 95

    It ain’t easy being green. Ever notice that different width segments of skis have color trends? Blue for 80-84mm, orange for 88mm, red for 98-100mm, and so on. Okay, not all skis are those colors, but you get the idea. In the 95mm range, green seems to prevail. Not sure why, maybe because...

    Comparison Review Quickie Review of some 90ish to 100mm skis

    Me: 47, 5'9" 210lbs aggressive longtime skier. Place: Mt Wachusett Conditions: Spring snow, corn, ice, dirt, rocks, running water, standing water, grass, mud ... it's been in the 70s for 2 days and then poured last night. The place is looking rough. This is the annual Ride-em and Rank-em event...

    Comparison Review Thumbnail Reviews: 2017 All-Mountain 90-100mm Skis

    Most manufacturers have increased their attention on other segments, but the 90-100mm class is still a bread-and-butter category. It is business as usual here, with the cream still rising to the top: Tecnica Group cousins Bonafide and Enforcer are the benchmark skis that others are trying to...

    Individual Review Thumbnail Review: 2016 K2 Pinnacle 95

    Why do we do this wacky sport? Because it’s fun. Focusing on this, K2 has introduced the Pinnacle series. The Pinnacles are all new -- not "all new" as in sporting a new topskin and maybe some additional rocker, but "all new" from the ground up. The only similarity to the outgoing Annex series...
