Vishnu key sizing/profile

[lusch0]

I don't wanna get flamed for this but I wanna maybe get some keys next season, and I'm quite familiar with the wets and love them tons, I ski a 189 and I'm 6'2. I'm not sure of the key build/profile, and I don't know what size I should be aiming for. Obviously I'm closer to 189cm wise, just not as familiar with how they are rockered. anyone have any recs? I'm 70% sided towards getting the 189s, but if someone has a convincing argument to get the 180s ill consider it.

Haven't seen an actual thread about this so don't hate me

if you get the 180s you will have to change your name

yeah dude I know, I just have absolutely no knowledge of the keys. They r listed as more traditional and I don't really know what that means as in for the profile/sizing

more rocker = shorter feeling skis

less rocker or traditional = longer feeling skis

I'm 6' and ski 189 more traditional ski and it's fine.

They don’t have a lot of Rocker

You gotta be shitting me dude, for a ski marketed as a ‘traditional park ski’ you call this not a lot of rocker?



These are 180s (I’m 5’10”) and when I first rode them they still felt like ski blades compared to my menaces that are 181 which are only mounted 2cm farther back

i would agree with all your claims about them feeling a bit noodly after breaking in though, but I’m pretty light so maybe that’s a not a big deal for me. Also it seems like the guys going huge on keys are also on the smaller side

They get a lot more as you ski them

I was going to get keys last year but my friend scared me saying they would be super stiff since it says traditional. Big mistake I love the keys that I tried this year they are a little softer than 1000s with less rocker to begin with but as you ride them the rocker grows just like wets. Definitely alot softer in the rearsthan 1000s so gonna be not as good on jumps.
