Moment Skis Discussion

[Roxtar]

The standard meridian layup is already only 2020g a ski in the 187. Seems passable as a 50/50 ski weight to me. Depending on your stats it would probably be better to save weight by going with a 181 than with the lighter core.

Spent about 20 minutes on the phone with Fasa from Moment (great guy) discussing the same thing.
At that weight the regular layup should be fine for short tours, especially at the 181 length.

@roxtar I think you made the right call.

Melee, any updates for cores next year? Will everything be the same? Or are you using different woods?

cant speak enough on the quality of moment customer service

My daughter is in need of some new skis and demo'd Sierras at Big Sky last week. She loved them - perfectly fit her style (I also love my DW!). I wanted to buy the demo skis, but the shop had someone else who has dibs. Bummer. I've been looking for a used pair of 162s (new is not in the budget right now, unfortunately), but not having a lot of luck. Any suggestions for a similar ski? Kinda playful and pivoty for bumps and trees but able to hold an edge? The dirty mustache is such a unique thing, its hard for me to tell what a decent alternative might be without having her demo them (which isn't in the cards this season). Any suggestions would be appreciated... or any leads on used 162s in good shape. Thanks!

I can't find it now but I could have sworn Melee said all men's cores are switching to ash. Anyone else remember it or am I making shit up?

"I think many of you will be happy to know that for 19/20 almost all the mens skis are moving from an Aspen/Pine core to a Aspen/Ash core, including the Deathwish."

Perhaps these are still up for grabs?

Follow up question: has anyone skied the PB&Jib? Comparisons to the Kartel 96?

Seconded. Anyone here actually skied the PB&Jib?

Does that also include the pb&j and wildcat 118? If so I might cry of happiness

Still testing.

We wouldn't want to change the Wildcat (Bibby) and piss off Blister

I mean they have been hinting at it getting too light

Blister seems a little obsessed with the heavy side of things lately. I've come to really appreciate lighter skis - in tight or steep spots they're a hell of a lot easier to swing around, especially later in the day when your legs are tired. Some of these new skis coming out that weigh 2500+ grams... no thanks.

Which core did the Wildcat 108's get?

What are these new 2500+ gram skis you speak of? I want.

Rossi Black Ops... Okay, I guess they're just under 2500 but close enough. https://blisterreview.com/gear-revie...-black-ops-118

Oh, yeah. Saw those. Want them.

Dynastar Pro-to too

Really like the grain texture on these top sheets. Anxious to get them on snow. Just in time for corn season.

beauty.

how do they hand flex vs. Raven, and how much do they weigh?

I feel exactly the opposite way.

Sickest top sheets ever. My friends supposed to get a pair real soon.

Ditto, if a ski is too light I have to use more energy to keep it under control at speed.
