Found a nice deal on these, and would like to scoop them up. I did some searching around, and found tons of info on the 11/12 model, but not the 12/13. Looking for a daily driver for Jackson Hole, since my 192 belefontes are too long for anything but nuking fall line @ mach looney. Hoping the 186 vicik will be a lil' more forgiving and fun.

Been trying to hop onto the On3p bandwagon for some time now, and I think the Vicik will be the perfect introduction. Some stats about me, 6'3" 185 lbs, like to ski hard/fast but also like a touch of maneuverability in my chargers. You think the 186 will be too short/forgiving for my liking?

Yes yes and more yes. 12/13 model has the slight rocker in the tail, made the ski a bit easier to shut down at speed so you can take it into those tighter spots. Only other ski I thought I would want as a Jackson charger would be a Wren, but when I was there for Powder Week and pillaging Mario Land and the incredible variability of the Hobacks, I was glad to be on a more manageable length and turn radius.

Thanks for the quick help. I have plenty of fat skis for when it gets deep (although still wishing I had a billy goat in the quiv), but the only all mountain ski I have is Moment PBJ, which doesnt have the tail of the vicik. Whats this about the tail rocker? its just minimal right, just for a lil turn inititaion help, but with no washout? I really was going to use the pbj as a stiffer park ski, and I wanted the vicik for my true all mountain ripper.

Like i said, cant wait to jump on the (well deserved) bandwagon.

The current camber profiles on the ON3P site should give you an idea, it's real tiny in the tail. Just enough to release easier when you need it.

Thanks man. Looked at the camber shots on the on3p website, looks perfect.

Just got them. There is a very minimal amount of tail rocker, which is perfect. Also, I dont have the tour layup, and there still very light. Weight wise they feel like my JJs. Awesommmeness.

Any info on vicik vs TST? I demoed TST last year and just seeing how they'd compare.
