Line Pandora vs Moment Pika

I'm looking for a powder ski that is also decent for all mountain. I have anthems that I ski on days when there's less snow. I ski in Alberta and BC.
The skis I'm replacing were 93 underfoot and 170 so I'm looking for something wider but about the same length. So about 110 underfoot, 170-175 length. The Pandora's sound awesome and I love the graphics, just a little nervous about how soft they are and whether they'll be stable enough at speed. The Pika's sound sick too I just am not a fan of the graphics. And I have no idea how stiff they are. I guess I am a fairly aggressive skier so I definitely want something that's going to hold up. And I would have liked to try a rockered ski but haven't seen many girls ones in the dimensions I'm looking for.
Anyone have any input?

I've skied the lizzies a fair bit and although they were soft, the side cut is a different style than most skis which lets it be softer and still have a really good edge hold. If you like to play a lot, and get a lil more creative they'll be a good ski for you. If you're a straight charger maybe not as much. But if you're on anthems I think you'll like the pandora a lot.

Just throwin it out there, but maybe a 179 hellbent? Its a little wider and longer than your looking for but will ski shorter with the rocker.

The Line Pandora is the same thing as the Elizebeth, with different graphics.
Granted, they are probably killer in the park, and great for switch skiing, they probably dont translate too well for charging hard, due to their nearly symmetrical sidecut.
They are going to float endlessly well, and are probably a bit easier to use than other big fatties.
The Moment Pika is based off of the Moment Ruby, if I'm not mistaken. Seeing as I've tried out a pair of Ruby's... these would probably be pretty fucking amazing. They will likely ski a lot like a fatter, lighter, and nimbler version of the Volkl Gotama - seeing as the Ruby and the Goats have a similar flex pattern. Not too sure if the pika is softer at all than the Ruby, which it probably is... so expect a nice, forgiving, light, nimble ski to tear up everything with.

No they changed the core of the skis too. they used different wood. It's a bit softer. as far as the side cut issues go i found them to be great, and very skiiable. if you're coming from anthems they will rock.

a 179 bent is 184 really. that is to long for here. if anything a 169(really a 174) would be fine. but they weigh alot more then pandora's or pika's

Whoah honey, I think you're out of your league here.
Why dont you let the men worry about powder and rockered skis hmmm?
You can run down to your local ski emporium, maybe sport cheque, and pick up a pair of k2 oneloves. they have pretty flowers and even come with a binding. I wouldn't want you to confuse your self trying to find a nice pink set to match your mittens and hat. Don't forget foot warmers!!!!!

Pikas are awesome. It is the 170 version of the Ruby which has a fairly medium flex. My friend who's like 5'7" was ripping all over the place on these skis and he skis pretty hard so I don't think the softer flex is going to trouble you much. I've skied the Ruby 188s for two seasons now and they are by far the best ski I've ever owned. They can rip anywhere (they were my park ski for a year) but are definitely at home in the pow pow.
and I have no idea why you don't like the graphics.. if I was a girl those would be the first skis I'd cop based on graphics. :)
You can pm me any questions you have!

too girlie, too flowery. but I might get them anyways. performance is more important to me than graphics.
