“Can I give this ski a 6 out of 5 on the carving meter?” asked one tester. “Super fun to get on and turn, turn, turn,” said another. Volkl — known for its ability to construct the most bomber of skis — comes through again with the carving monster that is the Kenja. Based off its big brother, the Kendo, the Kenja utilizes a Sensorwood core and a titanium power construction that Volkl also uses in its race skis and the burliest models of its freeride line. The titanium helps with response time, and our testers could tell. “I was whipped like a slingshot out of one turn and into the next,”
said one tester. “Hot damn.”
