K2 has made a very tidy business out of coddling the recreational female skier, giving her the confidence to let her hair down and her skis run. The Luv Struck 80 is in this tradition, an easy-going ride that holds a steady edge under a light touch.
Most skis made for the intermediate are flavorless noodles, but the Luv Struck has just the right amount of support and energy to carry the skier from turn to turn. Kim from Cal Ski Co confessed to being bushed at the end of long test day when she stepped into the Luv Struck. “I was TIRED but this ski was so smooth and easy – had a great run!!!” Kim summed up the Luv Struck as “light, playful and responsive,” although not enough ski for the more aggressive or skilled skier.
