Thoughts? Looking for a 50/50 ski. I know both geared toward Bc skiing but many reviews I’ve read about the vital said it handles resort conditions almost flawlessly. Just trying to get some more input before pulling a trigger.

not some crazy BC guy that’s up at crack of dawn for thousand foot gains. Sometimes just enjoy a nice exercise away from the crowds. Thanks schoolers

Have you read the blister reviews? That’s step 1. Tons of good info there.

Honestly at your height/weight I would maybe get a stock woodsman 102 as opposed to the skis you listed. If you are looking for 50/50 use, ie you ride resort, you'll probably overpower both of those skis.
That being said, as @ericforman mentioned, blister is the best place to start

Where do you ski? That’s a big factor. You’re a big guy so these lightweight skis might feel lackluster on resort if it’s hard packed

All across Montana. Usually do a trip through the state hitting the local resorts and then alternate my time between bridger big sky red lodge showdown since all working 45-1hr of my home.

Sure have. And that’s what led me to here.

Also considering the MSP 107 as well. Heavier and similar profile for the most part.
