Volkl Kenja Ski only

If groomed trails are where most of the action is, but an occasional jaunt outside the lines is fun too, then the Kenja – the woman’s counterpart to the Kendo – is the clear recommendation. It features a titanium deck for very quick responsiveness and a classic camber for stability, providing a highly sporty run on groomed terrain yet with enough width to achieve the right lift out in the soft backcountry powder. Lighter skiers in particular are practically ensured days of fun with the Kenja.
