A shout out to DougB who sold me those gorgeous VIST Crossover w/412 bindings. Honestly, the most rewarding ski purchase I think I've made to date. Holy hell Batman - these things are just a blast!
I'm really not a good skier, but I just love the sport so I've bought/ski'd many frontside/carving skis including Stockli, Brahma, Enforcers, Head, etc.. and the Vist to me are really just so amazing (also the first time I've been on a ski with binding plates so I'm sure that has something to do with the magic). Got 2 glorious days on em' at Palisades this week and am now more melancholy than usual that the season is over. It's gonna be a long summer.
