VTC isn't really a pure park ski.

MSP's are baller as fuck, but they're more of an "All-Mountain Ski". They do fine in the park though, IMO

Shitty warrenty.



This did not even happen on a rail. It happened first day of the second season on them simply sliding on snow.

Negative.  I did call, and they could not warrenty it.   I made a big deal out of it and they just made excuses.  I have talked to numerous people at the company, as well as a rep in person about it.  They did not care about my problem, and the fact that I had bought the skis a year and a couple weeks before the warrenty claim had void the warrenty.  no exceptions.  Not even that the first day skiing for the season had been the day prior, and I bought the skis 2 months before my season started the year before.  which I guess I can't prove, but it was only a couple weeks out of warrenty and the skis appeared to be in good condition (besides the edge pulling out down the length of the ski)

They probably are.  better be safe than sorry and go with another company.  There are way better skis out there, and better companies that will actually back up their product.
