I’m a Midwest skier that makes a few trips a year around the east coast. 5’8, 140. Just delamed my honey badgers, so I’m looking for a ski for next year or the year after. I usually just like to cruise around the park for rails and butter/ hit side hits on groomers. Love my skis soft so I can throw big nose/ tail butters without crazy speed. The pair I decide on will be the only in my quiver. Thanks guys

There is no better ski then the wets for lowspeed buttering and fucking around. I have wets and have ridden my friends magnus's. The magnus is like a real ski you can butter and wets are like their own thing thats only really good for jibbing and buttering. When you go to bigger hills you would probably like the magnus more but when you are riding something small i bet the vishnus would be a lot more fun.
Yeah that’s kinda my dilemma lmao, I’m thinking Vishnu’s bc a majority of my time will be at my home resort that’s like 150 ft vert

I'm on wet + but according to ski tracks, I've hit 67, and can comfortably do 60. They actually have a pretty long turn radius so turning at speed isn't that sketchy. If I lived in the midwest I'd prob go normal wet but I'll ski wet +'s anywhere.
