Yes, I know. Another Vishnu thread. how exciting. I'm just looking for some input from someone with experience on either ski, seeing that I have been on neither. This may seem like a stupid comparison, but I am on the fence for some reason. I ski in the west, and that means sometimes going fast so I don't wanna constantly be thrown around by the crud. I spend like 98% of my time in the park, but there are a few days where we get some snow/I just wanna go to the top of the mountain. This being said, I do have a pow ski so this doesn't have to be my all-around ski. from what I've seen, keys would be mostly fine, just have more of a speed limit. They do have that sexy rocker tho... As far as TWPs, they look more the flex I want, but the rocker looks like it comes up pretty late comparatively, so that means less float/harder butters. Also the stigma around the TWP? some ppl saying it's a tiktok/insta ski kinda wack and throwing me off. help a homie out and lmk what you think.
 
The keys will prob be a lot more durable I had them this year and only got 1 edge crack. My friend has gone through 2 pairs of lines this year so if you want them to last I’d get keys
 
the stigma around TWP is the fact that they’re made like shit and snap easy as fuck plus the fact that they’re THE social media skier twigs of choice.

Get the 180 cus the rocker in the skis make em feel shorter and you will wash out of every landing with 170
 
I'm gonna get keys

I have an addiction I don't smoke and barely drink so even though this ski addiction is more expensive I fell slightly justified.

I already have/had wets nightsticks 1260s poachers rc4s (raceskis) magnus 90s arv116s a pair of homemade foot skis and I also snowboard so a nitro a ride and a Gilson. Can't forget about the snow scooter

This year I want 1000park keys those jets for sale and a pair of twoowt good times (but they from Russia so idk when they could get here.

I have been skiing 2 seasons ever 2019-2022

last years TWPs were made like shit, but our line rep guaranteed that next years would be much sturdier. i would probably support vishnu on this one, their skis seem way more reliable
 
people telling you to size up the keys are not correct. the keys don’t have the same rocker as the other models. it says the keys are more true to size so get whatever is best for you

This guy sounds like a youngster, so getting the longer size he could grow into vs the shorter size, he's already almost grown out of. He's a little taller than me and I'd much rather have the longer ski. Vs aren't that heavy, if he struggles to swing the extra length around at first, he'll quickly get stronger and used to them. I regret getting my on3ps in 171; that length would prolly be good for midwest but he said he might venture out of the park in the west and wants speed, well 170 ain't gonna cut it I can tell you first hand
