I have 2 pairs of V-pros and LOVE them. I'm 5'9' and 165lbs and the 170cm are just the right size for me because they are so stiff in the tail and soooo FAT.

they are AMAZING in the pipe and very good on jumps. they also absolutely rip up all types of terrain, even moguls (in the 170cm length).

the width is a very good thing when there are very hard landings. The v-pros suck up even icy landings better than any ski I've tried. The width also allows them to be skied in a shorter length and maintain the flotation and ride qualities of a longer ski, but without the length and weight or a longer ski.
