The Oolaluv and Victa 87 are on my VERY short list of Kenja "replacements". Turns out, I've lost almost 13 pounds and the Kenjas are just too stiff for me this season :( I want an all-mountain ski that will be my daily driver on everything but powder days, when I'll drag out the Santa Anas. I seem to like some metal in my skis. I really like my Kastle LX82s, but the full camber makes them a bit hooky (to me) so I really don't love skiing them off-piste. And anything over 90 underfoot REALLY torques my knees.

Kinda kicking myself for not picking the Oolaluvs up when I saw them on consignment. I'm sure they're gone now.

In a month, you'll have a chance to demo several options and see what tickles your fancy.

In the meantime, not sure what I'm going to do! I ski every day for work. Trying to get my hands on some Luv Sick 80s to demo soon.

See if you can find a Blizzard Cheyenne left over somewhere. Think 163 cm.

That's not a bad idea. As long as turn initiation isn't the same as with the Black Pearl. I sometimes think those skis put me into a bad habit of trying to "overdrive" initiation.
