Manufacturers description
We designed the VICE 97 to push limits and raise expectations of what a freestyle ski can do. The unisex VICE 97s are made for skiers who push their speed on groomers, take off from side hits, charge through crud and chop, and rip laps through the park. The VICE 97 will take skiers as fast and far as they can handle.
The most forgiving and versatile ski in the Paradise quiver, the 97 is stable at high speeds, durable, and playful. A mid-stiff rocker-camber-rocker profile with full-length polyurethane sidewalls makes for minimal chatter. Carbon-fibre stringers and tri-axial fibreglass give the 97 strength and a damp, responsive feel that allows it to stomp jumps, rip through trees, eat chop, and hold an edge on groomers.
Perfect for any intermediate to advanced skier looking for a roughly 60/40 off-piste/on-piste ski. Freestyle and smaller freeride athletes flock to the 97 thanks to its poppiness and controllability.
Putting the all-mountain definition to the test, the VICE 97 has become a favourite for competitive freeride and freestyle athletes in addition to weekend warriors. All Paradise skis & boards come with a FREE 3-Year Manufacturers Warranty! Head to www.paradiseskis.com for more information.

Strengths:
Versatile, stylish and fun.
Weaknesses:
On hard piste.
Summary:
Having now ridden them for a season, I can state that the Vice 97 is a really fun and versatile ski. At 180 cm in length, they are 99 mm in the waist. Fits perfectly on groomed piste and fresh snow and absolutely superb in the park if you like to jump. Decent rocker provides nice flow in powder and twintip for those who want to slide backwards. Fairly grippy on the piste if it's not too hard and icy. The skis are also very stylish so they do just as well in the 8-chair lift as they do on the slopes.
Unfortunately, there is no dealer in Europe (yet) so I had to order them directly from Canada, which means that you have to pay both shipping and customs fees.
Model year: 2023
Riding style: Driven piste most of the time
Length on the ski: 180 cm
Riders weight: 86 kg
Riders length: 183 cm
