K2 Lotta Luv Skis + Marker M1 11.0 Ti Bindings - Women's 2009

Comments about K2 Lotta Luv Skis + Marker M1 11.0 TC Bindings - Women's 2009:

The Lotta Luv’s were made to take off road!! They can handle the chopped up crud better than anything I've skied before. I just demo'd them for a second time last week. It was two days after a big storm and everything was tracked out, but they didn't flinch.

I was also surprised at how well these skis initiated the turn and held their grip on the groomers. The Lotta Luv’s are an all around fun ski. The only downside is they have a little chatter at high speeds on the groomers. If you are looking to rip up the groomers, get the Burning Luv’s. I previously owned the 07 One Luv’s and they are great for Intermediate level skiers with a little more forgiveness than the Lotta Luv’s. However, for the Advanced level skier, the Lotta Luv’s have much better control and float.

I also tested the Rossignol Vodoo SC80’s but I found that the K2 Lotta Luv’s had much better grip. I had a tendency to sit back and slide around on the Vodoo’s but I held an edge on the K2’s and felt much more confident on those. The K2 T-nine skis do an excellent job of keeping you up in the driver’s seat.

I just ordered my Lotta Luv’s from Evo this morning and I can’t wait to get back out there on these skis!

I've used these skis at our local ski hill as well as in Utah and Arizona so far this season and I am not disappointed. I skied on some demos in Whistler last year and that convinced me to buy a pair.

They handle superbly on groomers with tight grip and very little chatter. I've pushed them to my limits with speed and they've met my expectations and then some. I went off piste in Utah and found that they float nicely in the powder. Our local hill is notorious for icy conditions and I've had no problem there.

I don't do moguls (bad knees!) so I can't give a recommendation there. But, I can imagine they would handle nicely.

They're heavy with the bindings. But the performance overcomes the effort needed to carry them to the hill.

Overall, no complaints. These are a pair of skis I will eventually wear out.

If you're not the type to have a "quiver" of skis for all conditions, these will pretty much take you where you want to go.

Great all around ski. I'm tall 5'10 and heavier and they can handle aggressive skiing, no chatering like other skis I've tried. Very happy that this line goes up to 172, hard length to find in women's. They do well in the moguls and the powder. With the lack of snow and warmth this winter I also found they do great in icy conditions as long as you let the ski do the work and don't over-carve. Very happy with my skis!

These skis helped move me from an intermediate skier to an advanced skier.

Easy on the knees. Able to handle all kinds of conditions with confidence. Flexible, but sturdy enough to maintain an edge on icy, steep slopes! Able to advance abilities quickly, with confidence

As a developing skier, these skis helped me move to the steeps and through a variety of conditions.

Amazing Ski....best I've ever owned for an all-mtn ski and I've owned a ton of skis. I've been in the moguls all day, most days and back bowl crud...fun, fun, fun!! Purchased 2010 season and have over 30 days on them so far and more to come!!

So far I've only taken these on mid-Atlantic crud, so I can't comment on how well they do in powder - I wish. But these have handled great on the sheets of ice and piles of slush in PA/WV! Be prepared for how heavy these skis are, though. The integrated bindings are what make them weigh so much, so if you care about that, you could get the flat skis and lighter bindings.

Great skis! I've always been on racing skis, so these are a bit softer than I'm used to, but perfect for all mountain.

Brought these from EVO for my wife (52) last year after she demo'd them in Salt Lake Powder. These were her clear favorites - they did great in powder. Used them this year on Killington VT Ice. Always in control - outer limits and superstar were no problem. I can't keep up!
