Sparknotes on Moment Skis 2011/2012

the jag shark sounds like fun. ive never found my flat tailed 190 rubys to be too much in tight trees though, and im a pretty small guy.

PB&J Profile

Now i need a little help, im trying to decide between waiting for the PB&J's or get this years rockers. My worry is that the PB&J's might be a little too wide for me. I live in ottawa where we have tiny hills and shitty snow, i spend most of my days on hard pack lapping the park or fuckign around on groomers. It often gets pretty icy too. I go on a 2 ski trips every year to bigger hills in quebec where i get to ski tree's and powder (east coast powder tho) I usually just make do on my inavders because i cant really jusstify a bigger ski. This weekend though i did my first out of bounds tree skiing and found stashes of powder that my invaders just sucked in, this made me really want a wider ski.

Like i said though this barely ever happens, although i am graduating highschool this year and want to try and move out west or even further into quebec so i can continue to ski tree's (le massif). Im not too sure if this will ever happen, i can only hope it will. For the time being ill just be skiing icy groomers and park in the east.... so should i just get the rockers or keep the dream alive and get the PB&J's ( i should put in that i loooovve skiing tree's and im really hoping to make an attempt at making trips too bigger mountains on powder days and such)

btw im 5'6" 140
 
'da fuck, doesn't look like theres nearly as much tail rocker? so they're symetrical flex...so you'd centermount them, but the whole ski isn't symmetrical? why? and the rocker isn't symmetrical either?

i'm really liking the fact taht they come in 188 though
 
Thanks!

Looking at this profile shot makes me think the flex isnt symetrical?? Anyone agrees? (just by looking at how thick the core is)
 
look at where the camber is. center mounting those would be weird as fuck. they're probably made for -2 or something like that.
 
Agreed. I wish they were a little closer to symmetrical (personal hangup), but they're about as close to a 1 ski quiver as I think you can get.
 
not to mention that the skis arnt symmetrical in the first place... shouldn't make much of a difference. close enough that you wont easily notice, and it looks like it pairs well with the NEAR symmetrical sidecut
 
If you measure from the height of the tip to the height of the tail with a taught tape measure, the actual length on nearly every pair I've owned (9 different models) was about 1-2cm shorter than the marketed length. This is how K2 measures and most companies measure material length which can be skewed because of rocker.
 
Just picked up a pair of rockers 178! super stoked to shred on em this weekend. im 5'8" though, think 178 was too much ski for me? haha
 
so after skiing the vice at PC for a few days,i can say that they are super super light. and the early rise is kinda a trip to get used to they love to be on edge, and jibbing is amazing. however the rocker does make landing back seat or front seat for that matter, a potential over the handle bars. i would say this is moments answer to the halo. the tail seems small but handles fine riding switch. one of my favorite park skis i have ever ridden.
 
so just got to test out a bunch of moments skis for next year and they are all fucking amazing.

pb & j would be an awesome all mt killer that can still shred the park up. really fun, bit stiffer and the rocker feels perfect.

the jib is still my favorite park ski personally. super fun, poppy and playful. and team would be an awesome alternative expecially if you are hitting some bigger jumps or are bigger.

the vice was really fun. if you want a park ski that will completely kill it in the park but still cruise around outside the park - this is the ski. real solid.

now i got to shred the ghost chants in about 6 inches of pow.

AMAZING. so fun, completely effortless, smeary, surfy. extremely agile especially in the trees and at slow speeds, crazy switch. if you are skiing a lot of fresh/trees/backwards get these fucking skis

the night trains were, however my favorite ski i rode. had a very similar feel to the g.c. surfy, smeary, but held up a bit better in more variable, cut up snow, with the ghost chants you had to be a lot more on your game goin through that stuff. but with a little more effective edge on the night train, killed it everywhere in all kinds of snow, amazingly fun to ride, soft playful, but still able to hold its own in some hairier shit.

if you are hucking cliffs 30+ ft and goin really fast i would check out the bibby, plowed through everything i threw at it, super stable and solid on landings.

any other questions hit me up and i can probably answer to some degree.

bottom line. GET. MOMENT.
 
-Night Train and BibbyNight trains are sick super floaty and poppy. Light like a feather. You can be shredding freshies pull a huge slash and keep your speed because they stay on top of the snow sideways. Overall very ggod for any fresh conditions but when it starts to get super chopped they can tire you out. That's where the Bibby's have the advantage over the nighttrain with the mustache rocker as in where the night trains don't have camber only cons to the bibby's is not quite as floaty as the night train but in most conditions the Bibby will make a better overall ski when there is not 2 feet of pow. Regardless the Bibby is still amazing in pow just night quite as floaty as the larger Night train.

-TahoeSuper super fun ski doesn't get enough hype. Haven't skied it with the new front rocker but i'm sure it'll only make them more fun in powder. Great ski for nearly any conditions. With traditional camber and a waist of 96 it holds an edge in the hard pack yet can handle up to a foot of pow well. Super poppy and playful these skis can huck shit and since they are stiff they won't loop out. Overall great all mountain ski.

Hopefully going to ski the PB and Js soon so I'll do a lil write up on those
 
Got on the 182 Jag Sharks today while skiing a 1,400 vert line at 39 degrees with a top 400-foot section at 44*. The skis completely killed it and I'm amazed how well they did. Today was an all-time day and I more than stoked to have had the Jag Shark. Coming down through the lower apron that was affected by the sun, the tip rocker was perfect for keeping me from snagging the top slab layer while the flat tail lock my turns in. So much fun today.
 
Got the Jag Sharks in 2-3' of fresh snow on Saturday down in Monarch. Absolutely love how surfy these skis are. Definitely a more medium flex when compared to the Bibby Pro, and they felt more playful and plane much easier at lower speeds.

 
I'm 6'2" 160-170 lbs depending on the season. Usually more like 170 in winter. Do I go for the 184 or 190 Bibby Pros? I heard Moment overstates the length, so does that make the 190 closer to 187-188? And the 183 more like a 181?
