Thegreatpastareal?
X_MEMESWERVE_XXI rly have heard zero talk about them im almost surprised about how little press they’ve had
ThegreatpastaKarko is one of the only people I've seen ripping a set on socials tbh
BreccanhI have a pair of the yomies mounted at -2. These are a little softer according to Emmet so take it with a grain of salt. I definitely notice a little chatter when nuking down chunder. They are super playful at all mtn and I feel like for 110 they swing around pretty well. They also pop pretty huge. Really fun to put on edge. Overall I'm not the most experienced in writing reviews but love the skis on all days including pretty solid Utah pow. Only con for me would be the slight chatter but I did that to myself and get a little more playfulness which I prefer. Feels like a vishnu ski in terms of playfulness but handles good powder and all mtn.

isaacwrongI feel like v’s are potentially played out..so many inexperienced skiers have gotten their hands on em and don’t know how to ski and or bought sizes wayy to small. Landing back seat/washing out. Also curious how Vishnu and surface will do presale this year with tariffs. Maybe add something in saying “buyer responsible for import tariffs”
BiffbarfAre there any rocker profile pics of these
GrandThingsI have personally gatekept myself from buying Vishnus. I haven't hit a rail in 5+ years and feel like riding them would be stolen valor.

SkimaskswervegodIll be on pair next year 25/26 Ill rip em & Lyk both park n mountain
Lenny-I think the Vishnu Man said Ivans ski like a 747 and I thought that was accurate. Other than my first day on them, I only ski them on 3+ inch days. I felt like they cut through snow really well which makes powder skiing feel less physically demanding. 180 Ivans at -1 wont butter at all for me which makes fat hits on them incredibly confidence insipring, it would be hard to go over the bars. They dont float anywhere any other ski wouldnt but they also dont sink where you would expect them to float. With p14s at -1 they feel the same weight as 183 wides with centered p18s. They feel like a much stiffer & fatter Key.
Tanks are the exact opposite of a ski I would concider fun out of powder, they're too serious. However my brother who skis 5 days a year used them for all 5 of his days this year. He said they are easily his favorite Vishnu's and he ripped 99% groomers.
CeleryI would completely agree with the wider and stiffer key feeling. The rocker profiles are really similar as well. As for the flex I haven't had too much of an issue buttering them but it definitely takes some speed/ effort. They fuckin rip groomers, like your brother said and hold an edge on bulletproof east coast ice. I love them in the park as well, full review dropping next month.
ThegreatpastaThis is what i wanted to hear. would these still be fun on a small vert (~600 vt ft) ice coast mountain, or would they take to long to get to speed to really enjoy?

CeleryOn days where I want to ski a hill like that I do typically reach for my keys but I wouldn't be upset with the tanks. I skied Jeffery 108s for a couple years on the east coast and enjoy the tanks more.
