After being shout down by two ski companys, I didnt think about the next ski I was going to get. I was thinking about Eric Pollard, so I went with a fat ski. Ive never had a pair of 4FRNTs before so I decided to get these ones. A 104 under foot is pretty wide but not that wide. So I decided to go with the VCT's. Now I dont know what the flex is going to be like. The description of the ski says that it has a traditional flex but a bit stiffer in the tail. I dont know what a traditional flex is going to be like. I think Im going to enjoy these skis no matter what. Now if anyone has ridden a pair of the VCT's, let me know how they were like.
