Just though I'd throw this up, as I'm not sure that many/any mag's have had a chance to ski these. As far as I know the only onnes currently in existence are the proto's that Scott pressed last spring, and some 176's and some test press 186's.
So being that I'm waiting on these like a few other people, and sadly not every day is a Billygoat day. I took advantage of the fact that I live almost within stumbling distance of the ON3P factory to steal the proto's.
Over 2 days the I was lucky enough to ski in a pretty varied range of conditions. Anything from boot deep pow, wind effected pow, crusted pow, skied out crud, bumps, groomers etc.
Taking off for the first run on Thanksgiving with the family. I warmed up by shredding some fresh 'roy. First turn was magic. The ski's locked into turns, and inspired a ton of confidence. I kept going faster, and faster trying to find a speed limit beyond my own personal one, and I never felt sketchy. They transitioned from edge to edge well for a ski with a 104mm waisted ski. tails released when I wanted them too. The rest of the day I spent hitting everything Meadows had open, most of it was skied out and bumpy. the Vicik's charged over around and through everything I threw in their way.
I returned Sunday to boot deep pow, some of it blower, and some of it wind effected. The rockered tip let me charge while preventing the tips from diving. This is one of the things I was looking for. On skied out chopped up crud the Vicik's TRUCKED. Completely blasting through crud.
The Vicik's have a playful, and poppy side to them too. It's not all serious business all the time. I think the bamboo and carbon do a good job of letting you pop off stuff and play around in varied terrain.
I'm not an amazing skier, but the Vicik definetely brought me up another level. Stuff that I normally would take it easy on, I just charged.
This is the ski I have been looking for as my daily driver. My girfriend at one point this weekend had to tell me to shut up about how in love I was with the Vicik. Can't wait to get mine.
