The Kilowatt is a narrower ski, (121-95-109) with a tighter turning radius, (18.5m) and it has a softer, rounder flex, and weighs 6lbs 11oz. The Verdict has a 25m - 27m turn radius, stiffer flex, and bigger dimensions. The Verdict floats better in powder and likes to carve faster, longer turns and weighs 9lbs 11oz, give or take. It's a pretty close match to the Team 100, while the Kilowatt is more like the Prophet 90. If you'll be skiing more powder than groomers, and like to go faster, then I'd suggest the Verdict. The Kilowatt would be better for east coast, or Rocky Mountain groomed runs. Hope you find something that works for you. Enjoy!
