Should i get whippits or wets, i never ski pow only park. And also size suggestions im 6ft 3 180, i was thinking 183, or up.
 
Where do you ski?

How experienced/good of a skier are you?

Your price range?

How much are you willing to spend?
 
I can get them both for the same price so price doesnt matter, im a midwest skier, we rarely get pow, and im very agresive, i break skis often.
 
I would def say wets they are way more fun and especially if you ski Midwest on rails. Also the durability on wets is actually pretty good.
 
tbh only real difference that I found was that the whippits were slightly stiffer and had less rocker otherwise the two skis really ride alike go for vishnu if you like the clout and j skis if you want a neato top sheet
 
IMO they’re very different skis so it really depends on what you’re looking for from the Ski in terms of flex and other attributes. If you ever get snow in the Midwest that rocker on the wets makes a few inches of snow an absolute dream. And they’re very durable even if you “snap skis often.” The V’s are more playful for sure but if you prefer a Ski stiffer than that then go with the whipit. Also, the V’s have less effective edge so edge hold will be better with a cambered ski (whipit) You’re supporting a homegrown brand if you go with j or Vishnu so can’t go wrong there.

Im thinkin jskis because jason is so helpful, and it doesnt seem like vishnu has great customer service.

You’ve clearly never dealt with them before. My guy they’ve got top of the line customer service. I’ve been in constant conversation with them over Email and instagram about the skis I ordered, their edits and movies, bindings, you name it. Even made them a piece of metal work for their shop. With Vishnu it isn’t some sales rep helping you and then maybe Jason, it’s team riders and owners behind the keyboard when you get in touch with them. I would vouch for the complete opposite and say they’ve got the best customer service in the industry. Go with the Vs.
 
Allright, i cant decide now, which ski is better on rails, im a spin to win kinda guy, i spun an 8, and i can 10 on jumps.

If you can spin that much you should know that rocker allows for less edge catches on rails. So visnhnus.
 
Lol idk why this was even a question my brain was clouded, now its all clear im set on the vishnus, i talked to them for a while and they actually seem very helpful, both jskis and vishnu seem like great options, but im going with the wets.
