    • FREESTYLE SKIS, MADE WITH A DIFFERENT VIBE.

      We designed the VICE 97 to push limits and raise expectations. These unisex, freestyle, all-mountain skis can take you anywhere and do anything. Our rocker-camber-rocker shape and meticulous design make the VICE 97 loaded with energy and ready to fly. Groomers are the perfect place to push your speed. Side hits? Take off! These are the most playful skis you will ever ride.

      Charge through crud and bumps and hit jumps with confidence; the VICE 97 will take you as fast and far as you can handle.

      Speedy. Poppy. Light. Snappy. Putting the term all-mountain to the test - the VICE 97 has become a favourite for competitive freeride and freestyle athletes in addition to weekend warriors.

      Questions? Please contact us, we're always happy to help!

    DURA-LITE CORE 

    Poplar and bamboo are vertically laminated at 45 degrees to create an incredibly fun and responsive core that stays durable and light for the life of the skis. 

    SINTERED BASE

    DuraSurf 4001 is the hardest and fastest ski base material on the market - we've made our bases thicker than the industry standard to help resist damage.

    HYBRID CARBON TECH 

    Strategically placed carbon fibre stringers combined with triaxial fibreglass create the perfect balance of strength, snap and dampening.

    HRC 48 EXTRA THICK EDGES 

    The hardest edge material available, HRC 48 stays sharp and resists damage. These extra thick, full-wrap edges grip the hard pack and protect your skis when you need it most. 

    PU SIDEWALLS 

    Polyurethane makes the toughest and most forgiving sidewalls available. They absorb chatter and help maintain overall ski stiffness, allowing you to push the limits of your ride. To ensure our skis outperform the competition, we've made our sidewalls oversized.  

    NOSE & TAIL ARMOUR 

    Aluminum caps on the base of the tip and tail give you added protection for when you unexpectedly meet a tree, rock or pavement. They also protect your skis when walking through the parking lot or loading the gondola. 

    ANTI-ICE/SCRATCH TOPSHEETS 

    These premium topsheets use textured nylon to shed snow and resist scratches. Keep your skis light, playful, and looking good! Like our bases, we've made them thicker than the industry standard to help resist impacts. 

    SANDWICH CONSTRUCTION 

    Sandwich construction is a high-end technique that allows us to make premium skis that are better on edge and more resistant to impacts. 

    UNISEX SKIS 

    To us, all that matters is if the ski fits you, it's right for your ability, and you like the colour!

    MID-STIFF ROCKER-CAMBER-ROCKER PROFILE 

    These skis are for having fun and going fast - period. We think a mid-stiff flex with a rocker-camber-rocker profile is the best way to create a poppy and playful ski that is responsive enough to perform at the highest levels.

    FREESTYLE/ALL-MOUNTAIN 

    Our most versatile ski, the VICE 97 is 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. All in all, it's a very controllable ski that works anywhere on the mountain.

    MADE WITH A SUSTAINABLE MINDSET

    Paradise is committed to minimizing our environmental impact; that’s why we use sustainable materials, bio-based resins, and environmentally conscious construction and shipping practices. We also plant trees for every item sold. For more info, head to our Sustainability page.

    Best of the Vices

    I like these the best out of the vice lineup. 5'4, 135 lb F, these suit me perfectly. Been using them for all mountain, and seem to work really well. Only had 1 powder day so far, but had no issues staying on top.

    I've been getting lots of compliments in the lift line. The topsheets are different from any ski I've ridden before as they are a bit textured which us neat.

    Overall would recommend supporting this Canadian company.

    Unreal skis

    I started skiing again this year and bought a pair of used DPS 98s. Went to the hill with a friend that was running the Vice 97s and we switched for a lap so I could test them out. I’m not even joking when I say that I purchased a pair of Vice 97s on the next chairlift ride up 😂😂😂 Straight up the best skis I’ve ever ridden. Poppy, playful, stable and holds an edge like no other. If you’re looking for an all mountain ski, whether you’re hitting groomer laps, getting dicey in the park or searching for powder, these are it. Highly recommend🤙🏼

    Absolute weapons

    Switched back to skiing this year and purchased a pair of used DPS skis. Went to the hill with a friend that was running the Vice 97s and we switched for a lap so I could test them out. I am not even joking when I say that I bought a pair of 97s on the next chairlift ride up 😂😂 These skis are unreal - poppy and playful yet very stable. You can get away with pretty much anything on these skis and have the confidence to do it. They’re a great all mountain ski - great on groomers, the park, and even powder days despite being a 97. Highly recommend 🤙🏼
