Let's see the freeski team make a jibby pow ski. Would definitely be sick.

They'll get there, no need for a petition. They're just starting up and it takes a while to get from the birth of a company to having a ski for every condition. The Vishnu guys are pretty awesome, just give them a season or two.

I'm sure this is part of their plan...common sense man. They just need some base skis to keep the cash flow coming in for some future capex

It will happen. Probably not this next season, but possibly the 18/19 season.

I don't really know either. For some reason WSD and KF are in my head for vishnu tho.

If thats the case, then good on them. And I gain a level of respect for choosing a domestic manufacturer.

Early rise in the tip and tail was game changing? That's been in the industry for YEARS across multiple companies.

It seems like the industry is heading in the direction of some companies specializing in pow skis and some in park skis, which makes total sense to me. I'm gonna destroy a pair of park skis super quick no matter what, so why not buy a cheaper ski (like Vishnu), but if I'm buying a pow ski that I'm gonna ride for a few seasons I would rather go with something more high-end like 4FRNT

The Vishnu's are the most durable park ski I've ever been on. 0 edge cracks after 35+ days in the park. My HG's were close behind with 3 after 150+ days.

I don't doubt that Vishnus are durable, I just generally view skis that are made in china with bamboo/poplar cores as more of a budget option (perfect for a park ski)
