I realise the V's are gonna be better in pow cos' i ski about half anhalf park an backcontry but i'm jus wondering what people reakon to these ski's in both situations. i'd be looking at 175's an 180's. an i'm quite light so i don't need a real fat ski.

Horrible grammar. Plus, I think xtremeski_nz might be legally retarded.

yes buy the v-pros because the graphic is better.
#1 - go shoot yourself if you're buying a ski based on its graphic
#2 - the troublemaker graphic kicks the v-pro graphics ass

the v pros are mad stiff, the TMs are pretty soft.....but in a good way

if your final decision has come to a toss up between these two skis, you might want to rethink what you want in a ski. or just get the ones with the best graphics, because that's what you'll end up doing anyway.

I´ve seen a good deal for V´s, 475 US and 510 US for TM´s. The two with bindings (Marker Titanium 1200). Maybe 83 mm waist of the V-Pro is too fat for the kind of snow of my city but I´ve heard that TM´s are pretty soft to go fast. I wanna choose the most versatile but I can´t try them and I have to take a decision as soon as possible. Which one should I go?

V-Pro
Posts: 247 - Karma: 10
The V-Pro are a savage all mountain ski. They are stiff right from the tip to tail, so rock soild in any snow conditions. When I was buying my skis I was undecided about 190 or 180cm. I talked to a couple of mates that are sponsored by Volkl and they said go for the 190. This is due to the stiffness of the ski, and with the longer ski you can get more perfomance out of it. Any way I am skiing the 190. The Karmas that have come out in the 2005 range to replace the v-pro look like the business. Other skis that I would recomend would the Scatch BC. They are litle more forgiving due to them not being as stiff.

I think I´ll go with V´s, the only problem I see to them is that thay don´t have an agressive sidecut (due to the fat waist) and I don´t how well I´ll be able to handle them, my old skis have a carving radius of 14 m and these have 23 m. Maybe they won´t be as fun as my old ones specially on piste.

v-pros man. I've ridden both and i think the v-pro rips. It is by far a better ski in my opinion.

true that bibs, the tm's are too soft and not wide enough to float very well, get the Volkls.
