When one manufacturer makes this ski and that ski with very similar dimensions and turn radii, it makes you ask, Why do I want this instead of that?
K2 has done this with the OooLaLuv 85Ti and the AllLuvit 88. If you look at their specs, you really can't tell what's different about them; you have to look inside. Both have wood core and metal laminate, but the wood is slightly different. And that's not all: the way they are put together is different as well, giving you two distinct experiences.
The OooLaLuv 85Ti has grooved channels of aspen and paulownia with metal laminate, offering a great ski with reduced swing weight for the frontside skier who wants to blast through crud. The OooLaLuv 85Ti makes me feel like anything in my way is about to be conquered.
The AllLuvit 88 is built with the Konic technology. The fir and aspen throughout the tip, center, and tail of the ski make it light and lively, while the metal (Bioflex) along the edges gives it power, stability, and strength. When I get on the AllLuvit 88, I feel like I can't make a mistake.

- Why choose the OooLaLuv 85Ti? Because you want a great groomer ski that will blast the crud and hold an edge but won't hinder you in varied terrain.
- Why choose the AllLuvit 88? Because you want a lively ski to go off piste and slay moguls with finesse.
