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...

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...

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...
