While I appreciate what Moment does, they have wayyyyy too many models, and a lot of overlapping models at that.

Just my opinion.

Donner Party is easily the best graphic this year and one that was air brushed into the topsheet. Bibby's aren't too far off. Blame the crappy cell phone pictures, but these two are amazing in person.

I don't think so, but the Vice would fit that void. Believe Shay Lee was on it during the big air comp in Denver the other night.

That was the 196 Bibby, and everybody is beyond stoked on it. I'll likely be at Loveland on Saturday/Sunday with some skis to try out so give a holler if you see me.

Ghost Chant's or Night Trains are going to be mine next year! I wish I kept my old park skis and bought next years Reno Jib instead, whatever I still love mine.

That ghost chant looks insane, sad they took down the dimensions on the El Dorado though, was really looking forwards to an extremely low radius ski.

196 Bibbys and Jaguar Sharks look awesome (spec-wise). You guys are killing it with the ski names too. PB&J? Hot Mess? That might be the best girl's ski name ever, although the VJJ is close.

Don't really see the point in Night Trains, Ghost Chants, Comis AND the Donner Party (probably could be streamlined into 3 or even 2 models), but whatever. Moment is looking pretty sick.

Skied the PB&J today. Easily the most fun I've ever had on a ski. So buttery smooth yet plenty stable everywhere else outside the park from groomers to moguls to soft snow.

I looooove my Pikas, I can't believe they're not making them anymore... And why did they decrease the dimensions on the Reagans?
Still love Moment though.

I do. It's all about the style of skiing you want them for. The Ghost Chants are the only ones I hadn't seen in person until SIA.

The Night Trains are your all-round ski. From what I saw at SIA, the Ghost Chants or for the deepest of deep. The Comis are the charging ski. The Donner Party's are super light playful pow sticks if you don't want the ridonkulous rocker of the Ghost Chant but want softer than the Comi or Night Train.

correction/added info: the Donner Parties are basically a muuuuuuuuuch softer version of the Night Trains. Let me stress the word BASICALLY though.
