swing-weight is a myth
you won’t not be able to do a trick because your skis are heavy

ShredsaucerWhat’s the difference between the keys and the wets


Keys are a different, wider shape, they’re 95 underfoot and a more traditional park ski shape, wets are I think 88 underfoot and fully directional. Keys are supposed to be stiffer but honestly once keys are fully broken-in I find them to be almost as soft as wet pluses. If you hit jumps or bigger features at all I’d go with the keys

I should have mentioned that I already have a pair of poachers that I use for all mountain and bigger jumps so with all that I think I’m gonna go with the Vishnu wets, thx for all the advice

Line park skis are good for jibbing around and getting buttery but don't blink because they will probabl;y be broken after ur first run
