Probabaly need women specific being vertically challenged - 5ft 3 and 53kg, so prbabaly after 150 ish. Getting happy on most black and trying to crack moguls, also moving further from the piste and hope to develop this direction. Loved Rossi B78 w (until hit real hard packed / iciness), perversly loved Rossi S3 twin (although bloomin hard work on piste after a few days of leg burn with 90 waist), hated K2 Burnin Luvs (07/08). Never really tried some real sturdy skis, but friend recommends K2 One Luvs but they are reported to be a bit hefty and not sure they will handle soft fluffy stuff with a 74 waist. On the heavy-ski point is it a question of getting used to it, or are people just heavy-ski, light-ski preferers or is it a matter of typeof skiing? Help!!!!!!!!

Re: K2 One Luv's

Both myself and one my friends both have K2 One Luv's and love them to bits :D

Just come back from a fortnight in Banff and there's loads of girlies riding T-Nine's. Mine have held up very well to everything we've thrown at them... powder, groomers and the odd day where everything was icy all over. They are more suited to piste but coped fine with the couple of days we were skiing in powder, they also held like glue for us on the blacks but can't help with the moguls as I'm useless and my legs turn jelly at the sight of them!!!

I'm not very good with the technical stuff but just know that they do the job for us and we're both intermediate sporty/quick skiers, we're both about 5ft 7 and have 160's - we also got chatting to a Canadian lady who had Lotta Luv's (one step below the Burnin Luv's I think) and she said they were excellent, so may think of testing them next time.

Definitely worth a try if you get the chance. :D

cheers all
i was particularly asking about moguls as i find flinging them around needs them to be not hugely heavy and that had been my fear on One Luvs, or indeed Lotta Luvs, but cannae compare with ones i have tried as dont heave weights of them all. tryins obviously preferable, but very tricky
