Sierra says: For 09 the Burnin' Luv has gotten a major upgrade with the change to a sidewall/laminate construction. In years past, the BL has had a rap of not being stout enough for some very aggressive skiers or those who regularly deal with east coast ice. With this new build, that has all changed for the better. The new BL has more grip, more stability and more energy than in the past. For...

Katherine says: The K2 Burnin Luv has an assortment of talents to offer the advanced to the ez-expert women skier. It handles everything from groomed trail, to moguls, to crud. Its real talent is having a damp, predictable ride that promotes confidence and reliability in its rider. Overall, because of its width underfoot, this ski really shines on piste and has the ability to make variety of t...

Sierra says: The Lotta (like the unisex Recon) has been the best selling women's on road/off road ski for some years now. This is a crowd pleaser for many reasons. Lotta is smooth, stable and quiet on the roughest snow imaginable. The K2 Mod dampening system makes this ski the "Cadillac" of the skis in this category. The LL is softer than some other women's expert skis in this ...

Sierra says: The One Luv is amazingly comfortable in a wide variety of snow conditions. The waist width @ 74mm is wide for the 90/10 category and when combined with the fairly soft flex makes this the easiest of the 90/10 skis in variable conditions. This, like all K2's has a smooth, stable, and quiet ride over rough snow. While not as nimble as some lighter skis, the One Luv pays the skier b...

Katherine says: The K2 Phat Luv with its PHAT figure is a true "powder tool" in the crud and deeper snow. Offering smooth and stable manageability off-piste, the Phat Luv is a solid partner for the expert female skier. Thanks to its unique construction, that offers stronger wood underfoot for stability along with lighter wood in the tip and tail for easier control, the Phat Luv emanat...

Sierra says: Here is another K2 that has been the sales leader in it's category since it was introduced. The Phat Luv takes the middle ground in most of it's characteristics with a great blend of width, flex, shape and weight to give women a Big Mountain ski with some potential for all around use. Among women's specific skis this is one of the wider offerings and the flotation and s...

Sierra says: For an entry level ski they don't get much sweeter then the K2 Sweet Luv. Easy and fun to ski while still allowing you to learn the basics well. For somebody that may not get up very often or is just looking to get out of the rental line the K2 Sweet Luv is a great ski for that.

Sierra says: The Sweet Luv gets a new shape this year with a wider waist and a notably wider tip. This gives the aspiring skier more shape to work with as she develops turning skills and starts to break the skidding style of the lower level skier and learn the more Carve oriented style of the intermediate. The Sweet has less of the secondary "Mod" core material and thus is lighter and le...

Sierra says: The Tough Luv is K2's 50/50 ski in the Women's category. This one qualifies as a wide cruiser for a pretty aggressive skier. The TL is not terribly stiff, but it is wide and fairly heavy so nimbleness in bumps is not its forte'. However, those qualities make the TL stunningly stable in soft, deep, and especially broken snow. I felt that the progressive sidecut enabled t...

Sierra says: The Tru Luv is K2's classic "recreational" ski. To many, that might mean a pretty nondescript performer or an unsophisticated construction. In this case, that wouldn't be accurate. The Tru Luv still has much of the "Mod" dampening technology of the higher level skis. This technology makes the Tru Luv smoother than most other offerings in the mid-price ran...

For the past few years the K2 True Luv has been one of the leading intermediate skis on the market. With a nice balance between ease of turns and stability the True Luv for many intermediate women skiers a great ski. It is not so light that you can feel uncomfortable at higher speeds or steep terrain and at the same time the True Luv is not so heavy that when you are walking from the car to the re...
