LOL I wouldn't go that far! But between getting a lot of days this year, and the skis, I sure am having a ton of fun!
Oh no, I still have some seriously hideous moments! But I will say my confidence has gone up 10 fold since getting these skis, and it goes up every time I ski them, particularly in challenging conditions. So, thank you! Lucky me, living the dream!
I'm late to the party, but congrats on your Kenjas! I am also an owner of Savory 7 and Kenja quiver. I ski Kenjas in almost everything and only take out Savory 7 in the deep and fluffy snow - needs to be over 5-8 inches of fresh to get them out. I live in PA so I don't get to ski that stuff very often, but Savory are a lot of fun in the fluff, beyond that not so much, maybe spring slush is another application. I can ski them fine on soft groomers and cut up powder, but I consider Kenjas way more fun in bumps (shorter and narrower - easier to handle in bumps). I am heavier so Savory feel like a soft ski to me even though they are supposed to be playful but not too soft.
They are two completely different skis, aren't they! I can't get over the number of Savory 7's I see here being used as daily drivers. I think I try to ski them too hard and too forward, but I really do need to get out on them again.
Yes, they are! Yeah, I wouldn't want to have Savory 7 as daily drivers, even in UT - too soft of a ski for me. They don't like to be skied hard - require more of a balanced light touch if that makes sense IMHO. I did bring both skis on the Alta/Aspen trip and Savory 7 were super fun in the fresh fluff that fell the weekend I arrived to SLC. I skied Kenjas 2-3 day after the storm though and definitely feel more confident on Kenjas in bumps, like I mentioned before. Although Kenjas being better in bumps for me might be a mileage thing - I don't ski Savory 7 as often and Savory are pretty nimble, as much as a long, fat ski can be. I think for someone lighter/differerent ski style Savory 7 might be a suitable daily driver in CO or UT where snow is light.
You got so lucky on your trip out here! Some of the best snow of the season! Now, it's warm and sloppy and nasty. I hope the powder returns so I can get out on the Savory's again to see if I can handle them better. In the meantime, the Kenjas have been fun in everything
Yep, they can handle pretty much anything.You got so lucky on your trip out here! Some of the best snow of the season! Now, it's warm and sloppy and nasty.

I wonder about differences about new and old models, I doubt I'll be able to demo the new ones though, oh well.
I think you and I can switch skis for a couple runs. :-) then you can compare.Yep, they can handle pretty much anything.
I agree 100%. I don't even think twice which skis to bring along anymore. Tuesday were some of the craziest (and crappiest in places) conditions, and I never wavered, just trusted these skis to get me down the hill. They have helped my confidence and elevated my game so much!!
Would so love to try these skis out. I might have to un-watch this thread. Yeah, like that's gonna happen.
