I had the spinners in the begining of the year, and there pretty good on rails but not as much on jumps. Now ive got the vaporizers and there the BEST FUCKING SKI ive even ridden. The camber/ really early rocker rides amazingly. they pop nice as hell and are super floaty. they make just cruzing down the hill fun. Like seriously get the vaporizers there so sick. Super stable in the air too.

YA, but you're sponsored by Epic Planks. You have to say that.

haha, ns always cracks me up. Epic is making some dope stuff. Anybody who has had any issues got their skis warranteed without question- those guys are in it for the long haul and are dedicated to making bomber skis that are better than anything else you've ridden. I loved the Vapos. I got to ski the Rippers they are coming out with next season- they are a great all mountain ski with outrageous edge hold. If you are on the fence, I'd say pick up a pair- their warranty is second to none and you'll be reppin skis made by an independent company in Michigan.

My buddy has the vaporizors. He likes em alot. I rode them in the park for one run, they felt odd at first, but seemed pretty sick!

Next year's vapes also have a taller tip + a different type of nylon topsheet. They are matte nylon and more durable than last years.

I rode a pair of vaporizers at hood for session 2 all week. The transition from my thalls to the vapes was difficult for the first day or two, but once i got the hang of it i really enjoyed them. There are other park skis in the same price range that are arguably better, but what separates these skis is their warantee. I, personally didnt run into any problems using them, but the packaging in the shipping box really shows the care Epic Planks puts into their products, even off the snow. If you like them, get them. its as simple as that. 9/10 for me..
