bogustcontrary to popular belief I am not a paid actor
jompcockThose things maneuver in pow better than any ski I've used under 100mm. They don't necessarily float as well as like a 105 rockered ski but I genuinely enjoyed my wet +'s more than my JJ's in thigh deep powder. I actually know a few people that tour on wide +'s who really like them.
bogustSo I ski at small new England mountain …. despite them being total noodles … on the terrain I had access to the Vishnu Wets were undoubtedly sick.
mrk127Of course the east coast skier thinks Wets are “good” in pow
PondyCrewso where's the clip @
bogustits kinda hard to understand how a ski feels based off a clip

bogustSo I ski at small new England mountain and today we got about a foot and half of snow
skiermanIn other words, 7-8 inches.
You kids and your need to exaggerate everything is so pathetic.
ScootSkiLyfeI believe that they float pretty nicely because they're so light. However I have a hard time imagining they would be great at charging steeps/taking aggressive lines as they are so flexible. Unless you just had perfect form 100% of the time and never got in the backseat once then maybeeee.
But honestly I think the type/style of ski often doesn't matter as much as people think it does. My buddy was ripping his wets at Hood last month when it first dumped. It looked a bit more difficult to charge on those compared to my Mag102s though.
Also though I just watched an old VHS tape my dads friend made from like 1985 at Creste Butte and lemme tell you, they were RIPPING on like 210 , 80 underfoot skis.
IdahoeI ski wide plus 189s as my daily at alta, can confirm V's are actually big mountain skis
mrk127Hot Take: Anyone that thinks V's charge the mountain have never actually charged a day in their life

programmed_robotforever wishing vishnu would make a 118 underfoot ski
