How does the vector perform on groomed runs on ski hills? Im just learning how to telemark so Id like to learn on groomed first. Thanks man. Your videos are top notch!

@SqueesitPlease The Vector is designed to be a deep powder superstar. It is lightweight, wide, soft flexing, and has a rockerer tip--qualities that make it float in powder like nothing else, but which negatively affect the performance on groomed surfaces. Plus, the waxless pattern (on the Vector BC) would drag on the packed snow resulting in lots of vibrations and a loud zipper sound. Doesn't mean you couldn't ski the Vector on packed snow however. Just wouldn't recommend for mostly groomers.
