-for willieI believe I have finally narrowed it down. The prophet 100 and scott p4 are both out. I've been checkin VCT and i'm liking what i see. both it and the liberty helix seem more like freestyle skis. I think I've got the helix down. It's light, poppie, great in pow and you can bring it in the trees. But it also handles well on groomers, crude etc. and high speeds. So I'm wondering again how the VCT stands next to helix. it seems like a slightly lighter ski and how it is as an all mountain ski and weather it can be a quiver of one like the helix? Also curious how boht handle park and clifs? O and i was looking at the salomon gun and do you think u could compare it to the skis above. looks like its a greate off piste pow ski. wondering how it does on groomers, crud etc. and in park. i knoe this is alot of questions so whatever you get to i really apprecitae. -sorry if im getting on your nerves w/all these ?

Hi henry-- I own both a pair of guns and vct's, The guns are fun in soft snow and up to knee deep pow they are a little narrow for really deep days, the downfall of them is that they HATE hard/icey conditions, they don't hold an edge and chatter really bad because of their foam core, ok in the park but a little heavy, also like all salomons they have weak bases. The VCT is one of my all time favorite skis, rips anything hard or soft conditions, floats well in powder up to say thigh deep and super stable and damp, solid bulletproof constuction. The only reason i now ski bacon's over these is because i like the feel of a fatter ski. VCT's are awesome but expensive. Also very fun in the park for a fat ski pretty light. also have you considered the k2 obseths, a little fatter with some rocker to make them floatey and quick.-willie you never cease to amaze me. thanx for the help
