Preface:
I'll start out by justifying the ski's capability by mentioning that I am an advanced level skier. I started out on Rossignol DV6's awhile back and loved them for their maneuverability and mogul handling. I then switched to the Völkl Vectris V30's and immediately met my match.
General Handling: 3.5/5
When switching to any hyperbolic ski, you quickly re-learn what parallel skiing is. Unlike "box" skis (straight and narrow) which ski uniformly and controllably, hyperbolic skis, like the V30's, are bowed out at the ends (in the shape of a hyperbola) and create faster and sharper turn-ins. This is great for upper-advanced level skiers who ski fast and strong in the legs, but terrible for entry level or intermediate skiers. You simply cannot go slow in mogul terrain with these skis. The upper portion of the skis will catch the mogul ridge in a turn and carve in, dragging the ski up hill and leaving you do the splits! You must tackle the moguls "just right" in order for these skis to work.
Looking at many of the carving skis on the market, these Völkls are definitely on the heavier side. They weigh almost twice that of my Rossignol DV6's at around 10-15 pounds each. The weight becomes very noticeable in the moguls, where the skis are sluggish and unforgiving. However, depending on your skill level and leg muscle strength, the heaviness can be overcome and mogul skiing can become possible.
Groomed and semi-groomed runs are where the V30's really shine. They really are excellent carving skis, making precise turns and remaining steady in the straight line. Turning is fast and very easy to initiate.
Powder handling is marginal at best. The fatness of the tips and ends make turning very difficult and in some cases, depending on speed, somewhat uncontrollable. I was disappointed with this area of the ski's performance because I always loved to ski powder with my other skis, and now I have to try and avoid it. Some users may see different results, but I tried and tried to make them work in the powder to no reasonable success.
The Bottom Line:
My ownership of these V30's has led me to believe that you must be either a highly-advanced skier, able to take turns with speed and strength, or an insanely slow skier, stepping the skis down the slope. There is no room for mid-level skiers. They are unforgiving and will quickly crash you if you push your own limits. However, like a sports car, if you "become one with the ski" and follow its movements as you make yours, you will find that the Vectris V30's are highly precise, excellent carving skis that give your legs a workout and quickly build your skill level.

New for 2002, the V3 seems like a mix of the V2 and V3 from last years line but with a foam core. I had mine mated to Salomon 850 bindings with a riser. Good bindings though I think I should have gone with the Looks. Salomons don't have upward toe release which is valuable for something you might never experience: a rearward fall. But if you do fall this way, you'll tear your ACL like I almost did on my last trip.
This ski has a tenacious grip on hardpack and ice. It may not have the versatility of an all mountain ski but it's great on the groomed. Think of the all mountain ski as a jack-of-all-trades and the V3 as a specialist.
It's not the fastest ski but stable enough to please, especially for high intermediates and advanced skiers who like to carve down blues and single blacks at moderately high speeds. It likes sweeping arcs but doesn't mind a quick turn here and there. Push it and you'll be surprised how well it complies. It's pretty quick.
On the downside, I didn't find it to be that good on moguls or bumps. Also, because of it's thin waist I sunk in the soft stuff. But like I said, that's not what this ski is about.
Stay centered or you might be thrown.(A good Confucian philosophy to apply to other parts of your life). This ski doesn't like backseat drivers.

My brother purchased his Carvers at the same time I bought my Olin DTSLs. We both love our skis immensely. Just as mine, his have great handling, and it allows us to do the same slopes together, without fear of being held back by our skis.
In particular, the Carvers have a great ability to handle moguls. A lot of the fun in watching Chris, my brother ski, is seeing him zoom down a tough double black, cresting every mogul, and then to see him fall on his butt on a flat slope looking back to see where his poor brother went. That's all him, though, not his skis.
We switched one day in late December, he wore my skis, I wore his. Here's what I found:
PROS
----
Great handling
--The ski has a large sweet spot, just as the DTSLs do. It makes for great packed-snow handling. You can really carve up the mountain, as the name implies. You'll be blazing around and about in these, so it better be what you're looking for.
Good powder skis
--They do well in the powder, because they have extra-large front-ends. They are parabolics, and so they allow you to distribute the "snowshoe" effect to the front and back of the skis, allowing you to pick up your ankles easily.
Good on moguls
--Unlike my DTSLs, the carvers do very well on moguls. They feel a bit lighter than mine, and they seem to pick up and bite down with more ease. Skiing the hardest of slopes is made easy with these skis
CONS
----
Expense
--You get what you're paying for, they're great skis. They are, however, expensive. I think Chris paid around $300 for his. It's kinda pricey.
OVERALL
-------
I'd recommend these skis to imtermediate to mildly advanced skiers who wanted a good all-around advanced ski. They do well on packed snow, and they do very well in the mogules. Good skis, all around.
