Hey NS,

Rossi's full reverse camber 98mm board, the Scimitar, exceeded my expectations in its performance on hardpack and groomers. It sports a flat camber profile underfoot, but held an edge surprisingly well at speed.

So far, the Scimitar strikes me as a very strong competitor in the the all mountain/do everything category.

Stay tuned for an update with info on pow & charging capabilities. My hunch, this ski's gonna do well

Cheers
 
ive been out on these a handful of time this year and they slay. Between these and the scratch's you can't go wrong on the east coast.
 
Just put a day on the PB&Js today (I'll be writing a 2nd Look on them in the next week or so) - for now you can read our first review on them here: http://blistergearreview.com/gear-reviews/2011-2012-moment-pbj-188cm-2

From the time I've put on the PB&Js so far, what I can say about their differences with the Scimitar probably wont surprise you. The PBs are slightly stiffer and heavier - through chop they seem a little damper, and with the decent amount of camber underfoot they're certainly more energetic on groomers while carving through a turn. They're both excellent skis, and I'll be able to give a moire constructive comparison with more time on the MOMENTs
 
Thanks for the review mang! I'm thinking about swapping in my surface one lifes for some Rossis. Werd up for the advice!
