K2 Thrilluvit 85 2018 Ski Review

The K2 Thrilluvit 85 is a great fun ski that provides an incredibly versatile and reliable all mountain performance. Stable at speed, supportive across terrains and beautifully designed, we are sure this will be a popular women’s all mountain ski this season.

On piste, these skis hold their own well. If you put them on an edge they gracefully cruise into every turn as quickly or as cruisey as you like.

Whether you are cruising at a high speed or doing long carves, the edge hold is great.

Slow it down for some slalom turns and the ski feels lively and poppy under foot. This versatility on piste is reflected across the mountain where the Thrilluvit 85 really demonstrates its full potential.

With an all-terrain rocker, this is an extremely versatile ski that offer a lot of fun for a recreational skier looking for a bit more adventure. The elevated tip and tail provide good float off piste, while a light weight and agility keep the ski very responsive over bumps or through trees.

This ski will not fail to keep up with others across the mountain and does not sacrifice either its on-piste or off-piste ability in the pursuit of the ‘all mountain’ title.

A light agile ski, the K2 Thrilluvit 85 is perfect if you are aspiring to explore off piste and want an easy playful ski that will go everywhere. This is a ski perfect for a confident on-piste skier who is looking to branch out and begin to explore different areas of the mountain. This is a great ski to help recreational skiers improve their technique across terrains.
