Favorite Front Side Carver: Volkl Kenja

I didn't vote, so I really shouldn't say anything, but does anyone else think the Kenja isn't a "front size carver?" It's a great ski, but I wouldn't call it a "carver." I think I can carve pretty darn well, but I carve much better on skis that are about 78 or narrower under foot.

Thanks Ski Diva for putting the survey together into an impressive list to drool over...:clap:

BCG I agree with you on this one ^^^ Volkl classify the Kenja as an all mountain ski but I guess it may come down to what Divas use as their carve ski. My carver is 69 underfoot and it's strictly for groomers only whereas my all mountain ski is 84 underfoot similar to the Kenja, and it carves it up really well so i consider them both excellent carvers with the all mountain being a better carver for off piste conditions and my front side carver superior for on piste. But yeah... technically speaking I take your point.
