K2 Luv Boat 105 2018 Ski Review

Colourful, playful and extraordinarily powerful, the K2 Luv Boat 105 2018 is a brilliant ski for the hard charging ladies who want no terrain to be off limits this season.

Be it on piste or off piste, the K2 Luv Boat 105 is very smooth into the start of the turn. On piste, the 105mm waist is barely noticeable, with a lightweight design and high energy keeping the Luv Boat 105 quick and responsive.

With a solid feel underfoot, you get a great feeling if you turn from edge to edge, which makes it a lot of fun to carve.

This lightweight nature stands it in great stead off piste too, unsuprising as this is really where the K2 Luv Boat 105 really comes into its own. Its impressive float on powder is really something and it makes deeper snow a whole lot of fun. Prepare to leave everyone else eating your snow on those powder days as you get the biggest and the best fresh tracks.

The addition of a Titanal band that gives it a lot of power through tougher conditions and it remains fun and playful throughout it with its front tip shape and rocker. This ski loves a bump or two and will eagerly take on any terrain with a lively, playful confidence, getting you out of any tight spots with ease.

This is is most definitely a hard charging ski. It would make a great choice this season for someone looking for a reliable, versatile companion that will allow them to ride hard, regardless of condition or terrain. Not to mention, they’ve got a brilliant, eye-catching design that will ensure you are looking your best, wherever on the mountain you may be. All aboard the Luv Boat!
