and yet another thread on choosing skis. So im in the market for a nice fat soft jib ski, something that i can ski switch in pow yet have fun lapping the jump line. Right now im 5'11" and 175 lbs. Im looking at bacons, live life 2s, moment melee, and the moment ruby. I havent heard much about the moments so im really looking for advice there. thanks alot

well if ur in the east id say anthems might be more sutible but for the west the bacons would be pretty sweet...or the new love on NS the hellbent could work too if u dont mind having some extra girth to throw around...as for the moment and bluehouse i have no idea

I can't help with the Moment skis, but I must say that I am loving my SFBs. They absolutely rip everywhere except for bumps and wet crud. They ski switch amazingly well. Good luck choosing.
