Default Crosswind (In)stability?

Hey all - I have a CPO '14 IS350 FSPORT AWD and am really surprised by how sensitive it is to crosswinds. Went skiing today up in NH and fought the car much of the way there in strong crosswinds. I've had Mazdas and VWs before and nothing was nearly this sensitive. Anyone else experience this? Worth asking dealer to check alignment, especially toe in/out?

Thanks!

I also noticed similar thing but primarily at very high speeds, I mean like 110 mph and over.
I don't see anything unusual (as compared with other cars) at lower speed where typical driving is done.

Yeah regular highway speeds. I actually didn't notice it at all at 100+ at a track day (calm winds)
