ON3P or Vishnu

This upcoming season I’m looking to either get 3ps or vishnus as my park skis. I ski 90% park and 10% groomers. Looking for a durable ski like on3p but I feel like vishnus would ride better. Also I don’t really need the stiffness in a ski so I was thinking about getting Vishnu wets. Suggestions?

I don’t have either, but it seems like most people think they’re pretty similar in terms of durability so it’s really just what you’re looking for

want buttery and soft -> vishnu
want stiff and charge-y -> on3p

try searching for reviews, people on this site dickride both companies hard so it shouldn’t be difficult

Have Kartel 98’s i ride in park a lot and I do really enjoy them. Super durable. Just a little heavier and stiff than I’d want. Personally if I didn’t have park skis I’d be getting wets for something softer and jibbyer

i got wets and on3p mangos, wets are a good ski for park alone but suck on jumps (compared to 3ps) but they are cheaper. durability wise, both top sheets imo are the same, wets bases and sides do get fucked but i haven’t really taken care of them this season, unlike my on3ps. take that with a grain of salt

on3ps are gonna be really stiff you could get a wet plus for something in the middle

do you have another pair of all mountain or pow skis? If so I would get wets but on3ps ride the whole mountain much better imo (I have wets and on3ps)

How big is the resort you ski at?
The Vs will be fun for small resort jibbin and playing, The ON3Ps like bigger places, going fast, charging hard and handle chunky variable snow better.

Vishnus are extremely durable in my experience. The metal tip and tail protector makes a big difference. Also look at the keys or plus. Keys are a bit better all mountain ski than wets because of the flex and width. On3ps are great also. You can't go wrong with either.

If you wanna do jumps and rails comfortably, on3ps. If you wanna swerve and be a beast on rails, Vishnus
