I am looking for a ski for next season and these are the two I'm choosing from. (I'm leaning towards the moments) I ski at Jay Peak in Vermont. I ski about 40% trees 40% groomers 10% powder 10 other conditions(ice and moguls). I want something playful and that can make really quick turns for the glades. I am 5'10 an only 135 lbs so the biggest problem I saw with the pb&js are the heaviness. Will this be a real problem? What are your guys thoughts and what would you go with?
 
PB&J's are a great ski, can't speak much for the blends because I don't know a ton about them.

Main difference is going to be flex, the PB&J's are going to be a medium flex while the blends are pretty flexy (from what I've seen).
 
i rocked the blue blends from like 2 or so years ago the second half of the season. It was a lot of ski for me to handle at only 5' 4" and 135 and they were 176.

Overall i didnt find them very stable at higher speeds due to the flexyness and early rise. Pretty fun in the bumps but again they were a lot of ski to handle. Ridiculously heavy swing weight for the year blends I had, but it doesnt sound like ull be in the park much and I guess they cut that down anyway.

super fun ski even tho it wasnt really what i was looking for. I cant speak for pow performance because I picked them up toward the spring
 
If anyone has skied the pb&j just let me know what you thought of them. I don't really need a ski for park maybe just a jump here and there
 
If thats the case then go for the PBJ's. I have skied the 188's for the past two seasons and I love them. I was on the fence also between the Blends and PBJ's. I went with the PBJ's because I wanted that little stiffer core and I absolutely dig them.
 
Ya I'm leaning towards those because I just want a fun all mtn ski and it doesn't need to be soft cause I don't do park. Is the weight ever a problem?
 
Weight isn't going to be an issue, it's generally light for its size.

Flex; it isn't super soft or super stiff, medium flex is about where it's going to be.
