-willielast questions. first by damp you mean what? and will the 182cm VCT do as well on groomers/crud and at high speeds as the 189? but i take it both sizes will perform better on groomers/crud then a pair of 160 public enemies right (they chattered like crazy)? on my old public enemies and im not saying i did this alot but if i was feeling extra brave and found a landing with good amount of pow (cuz about 50% of the time i ate shit) i would ofton be tempted to throw down a back flip or something. wondering how much the extra weight (especially the VCT and its stiffer flex) is gona affect my ability do stuff like that and spins like a 360 or 540. which reminds me if im not mistaken the VCT isnt a full twintip, how much will that along with its more plank like shape affect riding landing witch? also was thinking of the marker jester for the helix, think it would be a good binding for the VCT? also what do you know about 4frnt bindings?

Hi henry-- by damp i mean smooth feel on hardpack with no chatter or bouncing around kind of like a hot knife in butter. the VCT is not as stiff as the P.E and belive it or not very close in weight to your P.E's, Yes they are a tru full twin-tip with equel ht. tip and tail, the decription above is from the first year it came out when the tail was slighty squared off to put on skins because it was used greatly as a backcountry ski because it is so light. The VCT is desinged so the longer the length the wider the turn radius and more plankey it gets, so the 189 would be for tru big mountain sking areas like squaw or mammoth or jackson hole. they ski switch great you will have no problem. the jester would be the perfect binding on these, keep them nice and light. 4frnt bindings are made by tyrolia and are good , but the jester would be better IMO, if you get these vct's the midsole mounting line is 6mm back from center, mount at 4-5cm back from center for better switch riding. have fun.
