Hi again willie. it seems like evry time you answer a question of mine it gives me another. so i was wondering if you could quickly tell me which ski (helix of VCT) performes better on groomers, crud, and ice? which is better in pow and between trees and which is more of a free ride ski? also wondering which one is lighter and wondering which is the softest?

the vct imo is a better groomer/crud ski, it is a bit stiffer and heavier then the helix so it holds an edge better also it skis damper,as for pow they are about the same, the vct has little camber and a soft tip so it floats up and turns quick in powder, the helix is livlier do to the bambo core and may feel more snappy and quick because of that, Which ski will hold up better over time def. the vct it will last for years and years and years. They both are good freeride skis but you will be able to charge harder on the vct, if you go vct get the 182 the 189 would be to much. 4frnt is a awesome co. and really stands behind there skis, plus sweet topsheets. liberty had problems with ski duribility a few years back, but has gotten it together since then. For your size and what you want to do i would go vct. better overall/versital ski.
