Im lookin for a park ski im 5"10 but i am growing i wanna be able to use them this summer and next season my doctor says i may be around 6"0 next season i weight 130 lbs which do you reccomend or is there another ski you reccomend?
 
what happend to his surfaces the moments look pretty good but im still pretty interested in the icelantics
 
ALL of the surfaces I've seen around here have miserably broken in pieces. Moment for sure as I don't know much about Icelantic.
 
wow after seeing spences surfaces i dont think il buy surface i can get some reno jibs for 500$ theyve got a 171 and 181 but i can get some icelantics for around 400-500$
 
pm him about it or looking in the 2011 gear thread.

what attracts you to the icelantics. im sorry but i would personally not buy a ski from a company like that but thats just my opinion
 
Sammy_G did u watch the video from moment from sia part 3. they r totally redesigned. the durabillity sounds legit
 
i was talking to leigh a bit ago and i asked him about them and he said they were a great ski and loves them and from what they look like from the sia video they seem like a pretty solid ski but i just wanna here from someone else who has skied them. the moments seem great though im probably gonna go with them unless i here something about the icelantics.
 
well what about the dimensions. compare the two see what you prefer and need.

i have no idea about icelantics, but moment is quality and i loved the jibs when i skied them.

also hold both them in your hand to too see what you like.. stiffness wise and such
 
due to the damage they probably won't actually.rail damage=voided warranty.
regardless to the amount of days i've used them.
 
thats gay that surface didnt warranty ur skis. u would think that a small company would help skier out and warranty ski if the broke. but i geuss not
 
I have Icelantic Nomads, and they are very very well made skis. They are super solid everywhere, and are the nicest skis I own. I have little doubt that the Da'Nollies are anything but awesome.
 
I have the Da' Nollie and I love them... Decent medium flex with a lot of pop... Nice and light. Pretty much just a good, solid symmetrical park ski. Haven't had any durability issues yet and I have had quite a few days on them... Definitely a great ski. Plus the graphics on the 09/10 models are the best ski graphics I have ever seen.
 
i have some 180 danollies. super stoked on them. poppy solid ski that pretty much trashed whatever i was ridin park wise. they are really playful which iliked alot. pm me if you have any more questions
 
I just got the Liberty LTEs and so far they're a fun ski. In all honesty though, I do not have enough snow time on them to give an accurate description.
 
talk to mathieu.fr about coreupt.

he'll tell you all there is to know about their skis.

all i know about them is that the candide yard is the softest of the park skis, but is still a stiff ski.
 
My reno jibs were super stiff and super light. They were the best ski i've ridden on jumps. The Da' Nollies are soft in the tips and tails and get progressively stiffer the closer to the center of the ski. I can't testify to the durability of the Da'nollies,as I have only skied them briefly, but they were very fun. The reno jibs held up well but the topsheets got destroyed and the edges cracked after a little over a season.
 
I would get the nine lifes, but thats only because I have reno rockers right now and I want to try out a little stiffer rockered park ski by another brand, and the fact that my topsheets are utterly destroyed on my moments. (I dont mind chipping but this is BAD, it peels, ask dylan_, he can attest to it) The skis themselves are pretty durable though besides that, I've seen other moments without chipping as bad, and the bases and edges hasve taken a lot of abuse with no cracks or coreshots yet, so they still function 100% which is what matters I guess.

These 2 skis are all very different skis though, it all comes down to your riding style and how you want your skis to perform, but I'm sure they are all perfectly capable park sticks whatever your choice may be. Like dylan said check out liberty, I've been impressed by them quite a bit, also scott makes some pretty nice skis from what I hear, I've been drooling over some 184 P3's for a long long time. (which you can get on backcountry for like 300 right now, in any length)
