Vishnu Dilemma

Having a dilemma - looking to buy some V's for next season but stuck between Wet and Wide. Originally I was set on the Wide but thought about it a bit more and am worried I won't ride them as much as I'd like given I already ride the Kartel 108s most days when conditions are decent. Riding mostly CO/UT - park when it's shitty and all mountain / jibs when it's decent. Anybody have advice?

Vishnus are dedicated jib skis. If you happen to prefer your jib skis also being fat like your kartels then get the wides. If you don't, then get the wets. Similar widths, still very different skis with different applications.

Would be nice if Vishnu just offered a ~100 underfoot version of the Wide/Wet.

If you will grow a lot, 183, if just a little, probably 177
