Seems like a good deal to me, but most of you know more about skis than I do, these would be my first twin tips, but not first time on skis, I've been skiing for like 10+ years.

Yes. The V-pro is a great all-around ski if you want a ski that long

dude, i am 6'4", i have the privious year of those skis. best skis i have ever owned! that is a great deal on some of the best skis ever made. the 190 isn't big at all, everyone thinks so, but i was able to toss it around just fine. great for speed, sick in the park, rides switch really well, does alright in the bumps, and is sick in the back country. if you ski allmountain, and will be doing very little backcountry this is your ski. very stiff too. get them.

A friend of mine delammed the tips just from slapping down on a jump. He's only 120lbs. They are stiff and heavy and better for all mountain. Not Durable!

they are durable, maybe your friend had a shitty pair or something. i have had mine for 3 years, and they are finally starting to break down a little. i ski really hard too, and i have never had a pair of skis last longer. so i dont know what those guys are talking about. they are worth it, such a good ride.
