the volkl's wont even be close to as good as the pe's. the pe's are stiffer, fatter, more stable, much much more durable, ect, ect. it depends on how good you are. the v-ex's are totally entry level skis, similar to the 720's that salomon put out a few years ago and brought back this year. if you have any skill at all, go with the pe's
shit happens when you party naked
