Whomst here has skied the Vishnu Plus series and how do they feel?

also curious about this

I know I'm not answering your question, but I bet they feel a LOT like ON3P mags. I'd be surprised to hear someone say they aren't identical.

That's a good answer to the question but tbh it is kinda disappointing, are they engaging on piste?

They're full rocker, even more rockered than mags. I saw on someone's IG story they had 2020 wets laid on their table and there was no camber whatsoever. They don't have a lot of effective edge so on anything other than super soft snow, you're gonna have to work a little more to control them. The sidecut along with underfoot allow it to be extremely nimble, you'll find yourself doing all kinds of weird butters either on purpose or accident. I assume the plus models will be a bit better all mountain considering they're stiffer and probably a bit heavier, but they're still going to be full rocker, relatively skinny skis. I haven't heard of Vishnu's "folding" when you put your weight into them like the Line Blends or Bdogs, they've always been pretty poppy, responsive skis, much like on3p, so this should be interesting to see how it translates into a stiffer version. Like I said before, I'm 99% certain the plus models will be nearly identical in flex and feel to magnus' if not a bit softer and more rockered

Huh. I thought they had some camber underfoot :( guess they changed the mold? That really turns me off tbh; I thought the stiffness would help them be more lively and poppy but there's not enough camber

i feels you man. its their niche tho, the reality is, they're a small company that makes 2 (now 4 I guess) models of skis specifically designed towards urban/jibbing. If that's not what you're looking for then they're not the right ski for ya. Hopefully I could help a lil

If you put the skis base to base you will see that they have the same amount of camber as they did in 2016. We haven't changed the mold. In the video that person posted you can see that the contact points of the ski are off of the table so of course the camber isn't super visible as it is minimal to begin with.

The Plus is advantageous in all the ways you would view the regular Wet as "too soft", specifically on jumps. Whereas with the Wet it can be easy to loop out if you land backseat, the Plus provides a more firm platform to push against to right yourself. You still need to land on your feet with our skis or the rocker will play you out, but with the Plus you definitely have more insurance with loose landings. The Wide Plus in particular fucking rips on groomers, I rode the prototypes on an icy day at Sun Valley last year and felt like I could ski through a brick wall.

It's still preseason here in Utah so no footage of the Plus series in action quite yet, but Cal Carson rode a pair of oranges last year with the Plus flex, you can see them on his insta. You'll notice what I said; backseat landings being righted by a more solid platform.

If you want some you should get them ASAP as they have been selling pretty well.

Personally I'm interested in the Plus for general stability and a more poppy feel on jumps. I just like skis with a lively flex, and I'm a heavy guy so I doubt they'd be super hard to butter. I'm not that good or anything, and I'm also a grind guy, so landing stability isn't super important for me right now. Glad to hear that they feel awesome on groomers though, that sounds cool to me and like something the Magnuses definitely don't have.
Unfortunately, buying them is out of the question, they're too expensive for my broke ass and I don't want to buy a ski I've never tried and no one's ever reviewed. I just bought 189cm Surface Outsiders so if those are just too hard to manage in the park I'll maybe try one of the Pluses down the line.
