Vishnus the move or no?

Last year I broke my 2020 line honey Badgers so I proceded to buy the 2021s, which broke immediately but I rode them for the rest of the season. What I'm asking is are Vishnus a good ski for park? I'm looking for something that's playful, snappy, and stable enough to ride on jumps, even though my hill's jumps are small af. Also, how do vishnus hold up? Any other recommendations?
 
Hey OP, good question.

I've been skiing on Vishnus since their second release of skis (5 or 6 seasons), I've had the Wets and the Wides, both in Montana and the Cascades. The Wets are light and playful but can get a little "loosely goosey" (super soft ski) at high speeds or large landings, not the best in heavy powder, but decent in Montana powder. The Wides take the Wet and improves it in every way, still a weapon in the park but a little more capable at high speeds or large landings plus better in the powder.

You'd be hard pressed to find a more durable and fun ski for the park.

Thanks for the reply! I honestly do think im going to stick with wets just because my bill has around 300 feet of vert with the park having 75-100 and one jump.

Do you think the Vishnu wide can make the whole mountain your playground.

They key looks like it’s going to be VERY fun for more traditional skiers (as opposed to swerve)

dude if you are skiing at a 300 vert hill get the wets for sure. They are the most fun ski I've been on for small terrain by far. You can still have tons of fun skiing slow and doing weird jibs. If you were at a bigger mountain I might suggest a more stable ski but tbh with 300 vert you're never going to be going THAT fast lmao.

as far as durability goes, they are by far the most durable ski for the price. The only skis I would confidently say are more durable are on3ps but they're like almost double the price of wets.

Hey OP what do you mean by you broke your skis and still rode them for the rest of the season? Like full on snapped just flopping around?

No ?, the edge completely fell of the the top sheet was peeling off and taking the core of the ski with it
