Vishnu wides

Who has a pair ? Can anyone tell me what they think in comparison to wets or other skis ? Also hard snow/icy performance... Just wondering overall what the wide owners out there think . I feel like I would enjoy a wider ski underfoot for rails but I'm in Wisconsin so . Yeah . Thoughts?

Also curious. I really want to ride a pair. Tempted to buy some next year but my Wets are so good that I can't see myself replacing them. I figured I'd get something stiffer for outside of the park if I buy some skis for that but I'd like to try some Wides before I get some PB&Js or Kartel 108s.

Love my wides, but I use them for only park in Minnesota so can't say much to hard snow performance. love them for jibbing tho I feel stable and they're not too heavy so I can still whip them around. probably my favorite ski that ive owned

I have pb and js and wets and have also ridden my friends wides. The pb and js are stiff as bricks, I cant butter them at all but they are super fun for going fast and charging.

The wides skied pretty similar to the wets. Both I would say kind of suck on hard icy snow just cause they don't have enough torsional rigidity for that kind of thing. They do not feel anymore like an all mountain ski then the wets do. They are both pretty much noodles that are optimized for jibbing and buttering. The wides are a little harder to whip around but are also a little more stable landing.
