TylerthIf I were to buy a pair of vishnus next year, which model-size should I get?
bootspacebecause you're kind of light 177''s might be better, 183's wouldnt be hard to move but they would probably feel long
TylerthWhen would be the best time to buy a pair, because the smaller sizes in vishnus seem very hard to come across?
bootspacepre-sale, usually starts on may 1st and goes for may/june, buy them like first day and you should be fine
BradFiAusNzCoCaFauna alparka,
BradFiAusNzCoCaFauna alparka, Vishnu key, K2 sight, line chronic would be a few I’d consider. Maybe Völkl revolt 86
FaunaSkisIf you want something for progressing on jumps and rails, the Alparka is a great choice. Endless pop from the ash core and carbon; Virtually no swing weight without compromising on rail durability with extra thick base and edges.
TylerthWhen do they ship them? Wanna make sure they get here before my season starts!
TylerthStill thinking I’m gonna get Vishnus. Debating between wet and wet plus tho. Any help?
bootspacei usually see people post theirs around october/early november time, someone correct me if im wrong
TylerthWouldn’t that be way too big tho. Wouldn’t you want 172 or 177
jacobcle11GO BIG!!
Im buying them for next season and im the same weight and size
Ive heard from so many people who ski them that you are gonna want them big
Plus the tips cut down size kinda like 0n3ps if you know what im talking about
jacobcle11im getting the 183 wets
TemetiusPretty wide range if ur looking at a poacher or a wet lol
TylerthI’m really only looking at wets now. Only thing that I am debating on anymore is size. It’s hard, being 5’8 I’m in between sizes. I’m still prob gonna grow, since I’m still a teen
mystery3In between the 177 and 183?
TylerthYa, suggestions? Leaning towards 183 tho.
mystery3I don't think it matters too much. Go 177 if you focus on tech rail tricks and 183 if you want more stability.
TylerthHow much taller than me would the skis be if I got 183? I’m 5’8 going on 5’9
mystery3183/2.54=72.04 inches or 6 feet if you like. Depending on manufacturer skis usually measure shorter than the stated length because the length before pressing is given. Notable exceptions include: Moment, K2, ON3P. I'm not sure how Vishnu measure theirs.
BradFiAusNzCoCaMoment measures before not after. The owner has mentioned that on here before
