The contrast between how the Pinnacle 118 looks and how it skis is striking. It looks like another big barge of a Powder ski, but it handles like an acrobatic All-Mountain model. Unlike most Powder skis that prefer to bank off a wall of snow on their bases, the Pinnacle 118 will hold a carved turn with only its edge in the snow. Because its edge grips so well and its core isn’t too torsionally rigid, the Pinnacle 118 skis feels quicker edge to edge than other skis with its XXXL dimensions.

The reason you find the Pinnacle perched among the Naturals is because the answer to the question, “Who wouldn’t be happier on a Pinnacle 118?” is “no one.” Skiers still in the pupal stage of their development can ski powder on a Pinnacle 118. So can fall-line chargers and steady-as-she-goes seniors. Whether it’s skied slowly with a bit of swivel or railed to a high edge, the Pinnacle 118 summons just what its pilot needs.
