 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
My skis were lost by the airline last year, and I'm just getting round to replacing them. They were K2 07/08 one luvs, which I'm quite tempted to get again, or possibly the burnin' luvs. I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions of some others to try? I am primarily a piste skiier (95% of the time), and am quite happy on any colour of run, so fall into the vast intermediate category!

Look in the Dynastar range. There are several on this forum that ski the Exclusive Legend and I've also skied the Exclusive Elite which was a great piste ski. Alternatively, Völkl do a great womens' range too.

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

ruthie_roo, Other half absolutely loves her Dynastar Exclusive Legends. She was previously on K2's also. Loved them as great confidence building skis.
She wanted something to progress with and the Dynastars definitely hit the spot.
Best advice has to be "try before you buy". O/H demo'd Volkl & Dynastars in Tignes last winter but we bought in the UK. (much cheaper)
Good luck with your choice.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

ruthie_roo, Don't know what length skis you're after but there are some K2s on Ebay ending tonight. True Luvs in a 153.
item no 200543581785. Might be worth a look.

Mrs Monium wouldn't trade her Burnin Luvs for anything. Honestly. She's tried various others at the ski demo days, including other K2s, and wouldn't trade. Even for very very expensive and theoretically perfect skis for her. She just loves the Luv. Ideal for 95% piste skier.

im not a great fan of the k2s, but guess its personal choice really. At the EB test yesterday i demoed the Atomic Cloud 9 ad likedf them, but have to admit i havent much to compare it against as generally go for a wider more all-mountain type ski. It was nippy monouevrable fairly light and playful . Id try to burnin luvs first before committing, they are pretty unforgiving if you are a relaxed or lightwieght or a slower skier.

Thanks everyone, I'm going to give the Dynastars and the atomic clouds a try next week. I tried some one and burnin' luvs at the weekend and they felt very different to my trusty old skis, so I don't think either were quite right. Fingers crossed I can find some I like before my first trip in January!
