I've been skiing the '05 K2 Burnin' Luvs and I may be needing some new skis soon. Have any of you skied old Burnin' Luvs and replaced them with newer ones, say '09 or later? If I love the old ones, do you think I'll love the new ones too? I'm so happy with mine I don't want to replace them (I'm still driving my first new car, a '93 Camry, so that should tell you something) but I think their days are numbered. I'll demo some, but I'm wondering what you all think.

There was a less-than-glowing review of the Burnin' Luvs in Ski magazine, they claimed their edge grip on hard snow wasn't so great, but the reviews on this site and elsewhere seem to say they're great, and they've worked well for me. Thanks for any thoughts.

The new BL still has the personality that you loved of yours but she went to the gym, worked out and lost a few pounds but added muscle. The new one is now a sandwich construction and while it is soft in longitudinal flex, it is much stiffer torsionally and more responsive. If you like yours, you will love the new one.

Click. Point. Chute.
