Hey NS,

Rossi's full reverse camber 98mm board, the Scimitar, exceeded my expectations in its performance on hardpack and groomers. It sports a flat camber profile underfoot, but held an edge surprisingly well at speed.

So far, the Scimitar strikes me as a very strong competitor in the the all mountain/do everything category.
Stay tuned for an update with info on pow & charging capabilities. My hunch, this ski's gonna do well

Cheers

Just put a day on the PB&Js today (I'll be writing a 2nd Look on them in the next week or so) - for now you can read our first review on them here: http://blistergearreview.com/gear-reviews/2011-2012-moment-pbj-188cm-2

From the time I've put on the PB&Js so far, what I can say about their differences with the Scimitar probably wont surprise you. The PBs are slightly stiffer and heavier - through chop they seem a little damper, and with the decent amount of camber underfoot they're certainly more energetic on groomers while carving through a turn. They're both excellent skis, and I'll be able to give a moire constructive comparison with more time on the MOMENTs
