Title says most of it. Im moving to Coloradical this winter and want a strict pow ski. Im 5-9 160#'s so something around 180 would be perfect. I also want something a little softer for playing with and BC booters. Skis Im looking for include Bacons (#1 choice), JpVs.Juliens (178s), Surface Live Lifes...etc. If anyone has any otehr suggestions, let me know.

Moment Ruby, 112 waist, 180cm. Perfect for everything, a lot of moments team riders use it as their park ski too

Soft and to play with BC booters? 179 Hellbent should be on your list as well. It is a bit fatter, but you said strictly pow ski right? Might as well go big.

Its all speculation. No one we know of has ridden these yet. Its obvious that Moment is going to "spice up" the descriptions.

i hate how all you recommened is moment, this is risky because there hasn't been enough use of these skis yet to make a proper assessment. Wait a season before you start recommending moment. I'm sure they will be good though

I know people who have ridden them. Therefore it's not speculation.

Glorious... Dude I don't say shit like this very often but you need to get off Moment's dick, and chill out. Like seriously. I am stoked on them to, they seem completely legit, but from what I know you have never ridden their skis, or probably even fondled them. They could be absolute crap, I know of noone personally who has ridden them, and it is bullshit for you to recommend them constantly and clutter threads when you have never even probably seen the skis in person. Seriously, what do you want? Is there a reason you are repping the shit out of Moment constantly? Do you think they will magically take you under their wing for sucking them off constantly, do you want a cookie? Until you ride thier sticks, hold your judgement. You have over 2000 posts since April of 2007 dude, holy shit. And for all I know, every single post has been pumping up Moment. I have been on this site since 2001 and I don't even have 2000 posts, and I spend way to much time on here as it is.

Ehh the problem with alot of your guys suggestions is that im poor. My budget is pretty stretched right now, and dont want to buy brand new pow skis. Moments look cool, but no thanks, too pricey. I really want to try rockered skis...but im not going to drop that kind of money on something without testing some out first. Im sort of looking for some used stuff. Those Maidens look good, but i dont need bindings... maybe ill shoot the guy an offer w/o bindings. I also have a lead on some Bacons hopefully real soon. Thanks!

Yea you can find all of their suggestions (except moments) on ebay or other online places for pretty cheap. Just be careful and make sure you don't get some used ones that are beat to shit. The price may look good, but you wont be happy if they break part way into the season.
