So the three skis are these:1. moment PB&j 182

2. 4frnt devastator 184

3. Blizzard peacemaker 179

I already have a pair of bentchetlers for pow days/heli skiing, but now I'm looking for an all mountain type ski for days when it;s not so snowy. I train with altabird freeride and travel around the country for ifsa and jft tours competing in the 13-15 age group. I'm around 6'0" and weigh somewhere 140 range. I would say my style is to blend jibbing and buttering around on airs with good technical fast turns in between. That being said I'm trying to decide between three skis above. +k to anyone who gives good knowledgeable input.

Thanks, Kendall
 
Out of your 3 options I would go with the Moment

However, if your open to other options

1) K2 Iron Maiden (90mm waist)

2) Rossignol Storm (92mm waist)

Both these skis shred all-mountain and are extremely fun. The wider base makes it super versatile while remaining competitive where you are on the mountain. Both K2 and Rossignol make a real nice durable ski.

If you want to watch the ski in action I suggest watching Parker White ride the Storm, he goes huge
 
No offence but this isn't great advice. Looks like OP is mostly skiing big mountain on the junior freeride tour and blending in some tricks to big lines. Presumably the narrow ski is for less than ideal days so he wants a fairly stiff mid-fat ski to bust through crud and stomp tricks off drops on less than great snow, but throwing in some more buttery stuff too. Both those skis are park skis with a little all-mountain performance.

I hear good things about how solid the PB&Js are so maybe those would be a good option. Everyone raves about the ON3P lineup and the jeronimo is pretty stiff so might fit your needs in a 186 but might have too much tail rocker to land the bigger drops comfortably. I demoed the Armada ARVti and while they were too stiff for me, they might be what you are looking for. Tip rocker and a twin but a solid unrockered tail. The 188 is 99 underfoot so just about wide enough too.
 
ok im going to be unbiased and realistic; the blizzards are by far the best ski from your options. besides the fact that they are the best quality I have found, they also ride better than anythnig that I have found too. if you really want a good ski hit up Blizzard. if they are too pricey Then the Moments are still a great ski but definitely nhot the best
 
posted right after you, but didnt see this. now that i have, are you F'ing kidding me. those skis are for beginners. pbj or jmo are in a completely different league. thats like offering up balcony seats when someone wants courtside. not even considerable.
 
I have the Pb&Js and they absolutely crush everything. They can carve downhill crazy fast and they are definitely are sturdy enough to drop some big cliffs but at the same time remain relatively playful and super flowy. I haven't had much experience with them in the park but from what I hear I wouldn't doubt them for a second. They love to go fast too; point them downhill through some bumps and you'll find yourself at the bottom a whole lot faster than you expected. The PB&Js charge!
