The Moments have a great rep, but apparently the running length is a little short thanks to the twin compared to something like the 194 squad.  I'd try em out because you can always pawn them off on someone over at TGR because they're far more rare than the other sticks that have been mentioned.

Depends on if you mean NS stiff or actually stiff.  If you're looking for some real stiffies check out 194 LP's (the ski easier than they look), 189/194 Squads (lots of deals on TGR and ebay), or 193 iM103/Supermojo/Mojo 103 (these ski HUGE).  If you'er talking NS stiff, look at the ANT, 190 Gotama, or something along those lines.  If none of these fit the bill, there's always the option of talking to Capital or Igneous and getting exactly what you want, but you'll pay for it--and it's totally worth it.

I differentiate between the two because people on here talk about how stiff their park skis like Chronics and Karmas are, even though those skis aren't stiff at all.  But just so there isn't any confusion, the ANTs are actually pretty stiff, but not anything like the LP or Squad.
