Save the money and don’t buy skis. You’ll probably want to invest in a treadmill if you are really 5’6 -190.
This right here cost a little more then skis but will allow you to ride vishnu wets later in life. 👍🏽

Yeah right. with all that "muscle", you should look for some wood planks "2x4s maybe" to rip on. Wets arent up your alley and thats for sure.

2x4 are pushing it, he might need 4x4 to hold all that weight.

True. Big blocks of concrete would do alright if he got them extra waxed. Seriously though, skiing is not your sport. Take shotput into consideration.

ask yourself why you want these skis and why the reason is trendhopping. vishnus are built for rails/street, two things you don’t ski … i know LV is infested with Vs right now but a stiffer ski will always treat u better

Wet+ has more stability and is more stiff, get wets. you will not fuck up wets. I prefer wets. They are the most fun ski I have ever owned

I wouldn’t say pluses are stiffer but they are definitely poppier.
