Switch to all mountain?

[CrackHead.]

This past season I had Vishnu Wets and I loved them but I find myself having as much fun on groomers and non park trails. Is it worth getting dedicated all mountain and still having my wets or going for a inbetween 100ish width ski that can do it all? I love my wets but I want something with more versatility and something chargeable.

Buy wides

 

[oldmanski]

Of course! More skis the better!

 

[crustyboot.420]

Yeah. Get something wider and stiffer

 

[OregonDead]

You should stack up a quiver of 3 or four pairs.

 

[3mania]

Yes, ski all mountain switch.

you can totally still rip the Wets all over, it just depends on your style and approach to skiing and gear

BUT the Wets have a glaring lack of 3 major aspects of an all mtn ski-- stiffness, width, and directional sidecut/stance. if you're getting into all mtn stuff then you will almost certainly find yourself desiring a ski with more width for soft snow etc and a non-center mount point that lets you drive your skis and not have tip dive in soft snow, more backbone to charge with, and a sidecut and mount point that lends itself to big powerful turns

i tend toward having a 2 ski quiver. one park ski and one freeride/charging/soft snow ski. a nice mid fat stiffer all mtn ski could complement your Wets really well

This.

Keep the wets and get something 105-120 for ripping outside the park.

From deep pow lines to tight skied out glades, to the kinkiest jibs, the Head Supershape can do it all.

 

[VISHNU]

Obviously I’m biased but what you described is exactly what we designed the wides for, and they’re still a great park ski if/when your wets are smoked.

Get something stiff, stable, tip+tail rocker, 100-110 underfoot. On3p Jeffrey, moment wildcat 108, j skis metal all fit the bill pretty well.

Yeah, I want a super charging beast that can do everything but I don’t have that around me so I don’t know if it’s worth another pair if i can use it to it’s limits.

Hmmm, I do think they’d be pretty dope. Do you think the 183 Wide + is a better option?

 

[VISHNU]

either would do fine most likely, but if you want that extra power and go for the plus.

Where do you ski? A decently stiff 90s waist all mtn twin can ski well literally anywhere.

Im a fan of Vishnu, I’m hyped that they exist, but don’t get another pair of Vishnus for this role, you’re specifically asking for something very not-Vishnu haha. Let your Wets be your pure park ski and get something with some balls to complement it, is my suggestion

Butternut Ski Mountain, it’s like 5 minute runs from the summit and we got maybe 8 inches for our biggest snowstorm this last year ??‍ I just want that STEEP AND DEEP but the east coast struggle is real

icelantic nomad 105s are a good rip everything ski, super stable but playful

 

[weastcoat]

All mtn can be fun but i could never do it since I live on east coast. If somehow i Had to ski groomers/normal slopes all day for the rest of my ski career I simply wouldn’t be having as much fun skiing.
