Volkl Kenja 88 Skis 2023 // Women's

KENJA BELIEVE HOW GOOD THIS SKI IS?

REVIEWED BY: Joe Riccio

The Kenja 88 is brand new for the 2023 season and it got the same treatment the Mantra got in 2022 -- Carbon tip, and tailored titanal frame.  That translated into a ski that initiates a turn more easily and it skis better in the fringe sizes, the smallest and largest lengths (size specific construction). The 2022 and prior generations of the Kenja took a more skilled skier to turn, someone that skied more aggressively and could handle skiing a bit faster. The new Kenja 88 is a more accessible ski, it's easier for an intermediate level skier to enjoy, while still providing the top end performance an expert demands.  At 88mm underfoot the Kenja loves to spend time on groomers, it has great grip, can rail a turn and it feels confident at higher speeds. The Kenja is precise and feels quick underfoot so it does fine in the trees or softer snow, but thats not where this ski is meant to shine.
