can't believe it's come to this.

currently on a pair of 173 wets from a couple seasons back and want to make the change to a longer wide boy. question is, wide or wide+??? i love how the wets feel in terms of softness and flex, but idk i might want somethin beefier. any tips are appreciated.

i havent ridden any wides before but I think it would be very similar to the wet. Not getting the plus would still make it feel beefier and stable but still be like the wets. Take that with a grain of salt

I haven't been on any "plus" version of Vishnus, but have been driving Wides on the daily since they came out, was on Wets before that...
The wide is a a little stiffer, mostly more stable on landings, with less "wash-out" in the rear from my experience. Still park oriented but you can get into the deeper snow without leaning way back, also more stable at higher speeds. Takes a little more to butter on but the ski is still a wet noodle in the best way possible.
