K2 Ladies` T:Nine True Luv Skis (Discontinued)
The social chair of the T:Nine house, the True Luv is the kind of ski that can turn any condition into a party. A friend to all ability levels, the True Luv is known to bridge the gap between those with less experience and more advanced skiers on the mountain. A Bioflex core helps her initate turns with a consistent flex and her MOD Technology takes out unwanted vibrations. Your best opportunity to take skiing skills on the whole mountain to the next level!

K2 T:Nine Ladies` Specific Technologies
- Forward Shifted Sidecut
All T:Nine skis are built with a forward shifted sidecut and the midsole of the ski 2 cm forward of the standard mounting point for a male. This accommodates the anatomical fact that the center of mass for a woman is generally lower than that of a man. By moving the midsole forward, it places the center of mass of the average woman over the optimum area of the ski, allowing for more control and easier turn initiation.
- Bioflex Core
Working with the Alliance Team to further develop their line of women specific skis has lead K2 to the Bioflex core, a breakthrough multi-wood core technology. A combination of two distinctly different woods, fir and spruce, provides a blend of stability and forgiveness in K2`s women`s skis. The Spruce provides easy turn initiation, lightweight characteristics, and overall ease that these skis have come to be known for. The Fir underfoot provides a new level of confidence inspiring control, predictability and stability. The beauty of the Bioflex core is that it produces a lighter weight core which translates into skis that are easier to maneuver and cause less fatigue than a comparable men`s size and model.
Torsion Box Technology
Torsion Box construction is the foundation for the widest range of skis designed by K2. Depending on the dimensions of a ski, and the amount of flex and torsion designed into it, one model of a Torsion Box ski can differ greatly from another. The versatility in the construction enables K2 to build everything from learning through expert level skis, sharing the common traits of ease, forgiveness, responsiveness, and energy that can be found in all Torsion Box skis.
Cap Construction
Cap skis are built with a sophisticated molding process that envelops the core and internal materials with the top layer of the ski. Capped skis share the common characteristics of being very durable and lightweight.The construction process is nearly identical for an entry and expert level ski. What determines the characteristics of the ski are the variations in the layers of the core materials. For this reason, cap skis can be used for just about any type of skiing and performance level.
Triaxial Braiding
Triaxial Braiding was developed by K2 in 1988 and is still the best way to apply fiberglass to a wood core. This process consists of sending a milled wood core through the patented Triaxial Braiding machine, where interlocking strands of fiberglass wrap the core. This unique method produces skis that have a great deal of torsional or twist rigidity and strength, while maintaining the lively innate flex characteristics of its wood core.
