Vision 98?

Looking to get into touring but also want something for resort skiing too. Would most likely use a shift.

Is the Vision 98 a good ski for that? I've seen reviews but I want to see what you guys think.

Would most likely be out west for most of its usage.

Im just getting into touring but I've been skiing for almost all my life (17 y/o).

Not sure if this helps but I have the Vision 108 and I love it. Ridden it in all kinds of snow conditions and terrain. Lots of resort skiing, lots of backcountry touring. Was worried it would get redirected and bounce around a lot while charging through crud, but it holds its line surprisingly well for how light it is. Its a solid, stable ski, but still lively and poppy. I feel super confident everywhere I take it.

This is exactly what the Vision series was designed for.

It's a lightweight freeride ski built for all mountain shredding and touring.
