Does anyone know about the quality of their twin-tips? They seem to be 2 of the lesser discussed companies on this site and i was just wondering how their twin-tips perform. Thanks

Yeah - I'm on the original V-Pros (01/02) and they are very solid (I heard the Explosive is even more so though) - I've skied over all sorts of rocks and had barely a scratch on them. The only more solid feeling ski (feeling, I've not skied it) is the Scratch.

So do you think that the V-Pros are as good or better than Public Enemies and Troublemakers?

i rode on the v pros all this season... i like em alot cause they were mid fats (83 under foot) yet they were decent carving skis on groomers... they handled pretty much everything pretty well. they were a bit on the heavier side, but thats what you usually get with wood cores... the only complaints i had were that the top shet chipped off way too easily... i was banging snow off my skis on the lift and my edge banged against my other ski and it chipped the topsheet off all the way to the core... but i liked em alot... i personally would recomend the explosives more b/c i like sandwich rather than capped skis...

I've ridden the original (black) V-Pro for two years and I love it. Really good ski for doing anything - stiffer than most twins, so it's nice on the groomed, wide enough for light powder and awesome in the park, and the construction is swesome.

The TM and PE have pretty similar dimensions to the V-Pro, so you'll be happy with any of them.
