I am trying to get more into park( i can 270 off, 360, 540(sumtimes) and love to ski the park. i wanna add some style and butter to my game. i can decide if i should go w the vishnu wet or wide. i ski the east coast on small mountains (nashoba/attitash) please help me. also i carve sumtimes so if you have used the plus models pls lmk how soft they are or how the carving is on any vishnu ski. Thank you

on3p magnus are a little bit stiffer but the rocker still allows you to butter n do that swerve stuff, its the signature ski of the CEO of swerve

don’t know why but i’m not into the on3ps too high of a price point for a youngin like myself. I may just get the wet and seal w that i can’t really carve around too much

Very fair point, ive heard wets are a super fun ski and its graphics this year are crazy, they also make wet plus which are still quite buttery but have a little more stability. Were you thinking of buying them when they drop or trying for used ones?

The cabbage ones go crazy, and also i think the wets are the perfect fit for what you are doing

If you ride a small hill go wet. Ive got a pair. They carve fine especially when their new and still have sharp edges. They are the best skis for making the most out of a small hill. The wides would be fun too but if you are not riding much real terrain or powder i would go wets cause they are just a little bit more maneuverable and swervy imo. Cant really go wrong with either for what it sounds like you will use them for.

I have wides and love em so much. I've never ridden wets, but they look just as sick. I doubt you could go wrong with either with the skiing you're doing.
