is it weird to go from something like an Edollo to a Wet? this isn’t thread worthy but just wondering for the specific situation what it’s like

I mean I hage On3p Jeffery 108’s and a pair of Vishnu wides and they’re pretty similar in size and yeah it’s kinda wacky to go from wacky wavy noodle to hard charging plank that’ll make 86% of the mountain my playground but overall skiing is skiing and you can only notice a difference in feel for the first 2 maybe 3 runs
 
one thing I'd warn you about is making sure you know your ski well before doing nollies. I almost fucked my self this year doing a nollie on my magic Js for the first time that I'd done a million times before on other skis. neck scorp was brutal at 30 mph
 
It’ll prob take a run to get used to otherwise you should be fine, I mean you’ll notice a difference with turning and stuff but it’s a quick transition. You’ll probably have a tougher time sticking landings out on wets just because the tails are soft.

i only nollie like dropping into the park as of rn i was scared to do it even on a not crazy flexible ski so no issue there. for now at least
