 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
I bought a pair of Rossi B1 skis last season and have been reasonably happy with them. However, I hired a pair of K2 Burnin Luvs and much prefer them. The B1s now feel all soft and stuffy, whereas on the K2s I feel .........inspired!!! Should I leave the B1s somewhere behind a hedge and buy the K2s, or demo some others. I thought the K2s were a lot livelier, especially for short turns. Are there any other similar skis to demo? I don't want to keep buying skis each year. I like carving on piste although I've just spent a 10 days in the moguls at Winter Park. What fun!

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

My favourite piste skis were the Head Fast Thang Slalom skis. I'd give them a go!!
Best thing is to demo as many as you can, and then go with the ones you like best........and then NEVER try any more until you want to buy again!!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I own a pair of the k2 burnin luvs and really like them. I think there are many options out there for women that weren't there a few years ago. If you have a chance to demo, do it. However, you can't go wrong with the Burnin Luvs. The properties they have will get you through nearly every ski condition out there with confidence and style.
I like the way they carve when you need a carver, plow through crud when you need that stability and float on powder when you have the occasional powder rush.
There are better carvers, and powder skis out there but the Burnin Luv is definitely a decent all around ski.
I am a good one to ask because I change skis like most people change their sox

What is the difference with womens skis, ladies? I'm still at the stage where until a few weeks ago I thought skis were...well..... skis! Are there unisex ones or will the hire shop have different ones for guys and gals. Also, if unisex ones exist, do true ladies ones make much difference? the answer to this could be important when I consider how long to go on hiring for (though it won't change me this year for certain)

Megamum, Womens skis are mounted slightly forward for the difference in weight distribution, which will help you maintain the correct new school position. And they are a touch softer so they should be easier to flex.
I know that I had my metrons mounted in the forward position and got more out of them. It can make a difference but not always.
