A Versatile, Manageable All Mountain Ski

4frnt hasn't done much to change the VCT, because it's about perfect. If you're looking for something like the older Gotamas, or the ANT, these are a stick to consider, too. They're a little softer than the ANT, but still charge hard and seem to have a little more resiliency in their turns. If you're out in the West, go for the 182 or 189. The length of these skis will compensate for the relatively narrow waist (for a powder ski) and you'll still be able to rip in the deep.The VCT hold well on groomed runs as well. It's not a super turny ski, but you can carve it if you want, and it won't wash out unless you let it.Buttery smooth turns and low swing weight. These things are great for backcountry freestyle/jib runs, and versatile enough to be a one ski quiver. You won't even blink when transitioning from powder, to crud, to groomer. Sintered bases are excellent for wax retention and scratch resistance.The shorter models turn easier, so if you won't be skiing a lot of deep snow, shorter is ok.Represent a SLC company, and you got to know that Slovenian skis are well made.These things are awesome with Hammerhead telemark bindings, too.
I have to recommend though, the VCT Turbo as a slightly more versatile ski, because it favors powder skiing more, but doesn't lose any performance on groomers, unless it's ice.
