My Rossi slats are on there last life and I’m looking for a new pair of everyday skis. I just moved to Portland but plan on skiing in Oregon and Idaho and Montana throughout the winter. I loved the slats because they were stiff enough to charge hard and blast through crud but still had playfulness. Anyone have experience with the vandals? The price point is too good but I’m wondering if it’s too park oriented I probably spend 70% all mountain 30% park.

I mean it's up to you but I'd want something a bit wider. Never skied the Vandals tho so idk. I'm going to suggest Moment Deathwish because I love that ski but that you should take some advice from someone with a bit more experience on the Vandals.

The 186's come in a 101 underfoot and coming from my Slats which were 98 figured it would be a fluid transition. I have been thinking about going into the 110-115 range but I just love how fast I can manuvour my Slats and for being 6'1 150 pounds i am pretty light and lanky.
