The Vengeance falls into a class of its own between shaped and traditional. With a full sheet of carbon and sharp bevels in the forebody, its grippy aggressive ride characterizes high-end slalom. The support and consistent turning capabilities, due to a slightly wider forebody and exaggerated inside radius, define a shaped ski. Although difficult to categorize, one thing is for sure. Skiers from entry-level to advanced can rejoice at its performance. The assertive skier can push the limit to make tight slalom course turns, or the freerider can take pleasure in a tight line while carving giant $ signs in the lake.
