Blister reviews the K2 Pinnacle 95 Ti

2018-2019 K2 Pinnacle 95 Ti

Light, but pretty stable. Surfy, but can hold an edge. Forgiving, but supportive. The newest iteration of the K2 Pinnacle 95 Ti feels like a bit of a contradiction, but the result is a pretty versatile ski that we think a lot of skiers may enjoy. Check out our full review.
