The massive makeover that K2 applied to their cornerstone men’s models they’ve also implemented across their all-mountain women’s collection.  The OoolaLuv 85 Ti is the standard bearer for the new K2’s, representing the best the re-designed line has to offer.

In keeping with the new Konic design in the men’s line, the new Luv series trims mass away from the center line by cutting channels out of its lightweight wood core.  The OoolaLuv also concentrates more of its metal laminate over the edge so it feels as solid as a rock without weighing more than a pebble.

Shirley from Footloose said, “Unbelievable light skiing with all the smoothness and stability you could want.  Forgiving with a lot of performance.”  Steph from Jan’s found that even in short lengths it packed a punch.  “The 156 was way too short for me BUT wow, it delivered,” she wrote. “I pushed it more than I should have for its length, but it took it and was stable. It loved fast, medium-radius turns.”

Women who loved everything about their old K2 Luvs but their heft will find the OoolaLuv has removed the “but.” The OoolaLuv delivers a double dose of confidence building so women with a skill set from so-so to splendid will feel ready to face whatever the mountain has on the menu.

Women’s Test Data Advisory

Please be advised that our 2022 women’s ski reviews do not show any test data, on either our public or members’ sites. Due to circumstances beyond our control, we haven’t been able to collect sufficient test results to justify showing a statistical summary.

While Realskiers members won’t be able to see stats on women’s reviews, they will see a longer, more in-depth narrative than what’s posted on our public site.

We appreciate your continued support through these troublesome times.
