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.

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