so i am looking for some new skis and ive brought it down to these three. Im about 5'10 150lb and ski mostly park with a little bit of all mountain as well. If anyone has ridden any of these skis and would like to help me out that would be awesome. Thanks

I personally am a huge fan of the Joystick These skis. Super Playful design and super durable. I have a ski buddy with them. Soo sick.

I think moments are gonna be the best choice, just because I've heard great things about them and I've never seen anyone with these

I've owned both moments and punx. Moments suck, don't get them. The punx are super playful, really poppy and light and just really fun to ride on

Any reason for why the moments "suck"

I have Punx and I love them, pretty buttery, super poppy and light, and you can rail turns on them if it's not too icy.

Stose has had some durabilty issues with Moment.

I have some Jibs from 08/09 and they are still kicking. They have been retired to pure urban but I love them. i have a few edge cracks that i need to work on but they still have lot of pop and will last for a few more seasons. Love moments, they are awesome skis. I definitely recommend them

If you ski anything besides rails DO NOT buy the joysticks. They feel like floppy little noddles. Go Moment.

I had durability issues with surface, haven't ridden moments but haven't heard bad things, and I now ride punx and am in love, super poppy, buttery and seem to be great for riding anywhere around the mountain! Great ski!

I got the 2012/13 punx at the beginning of this season and I absolutely love them. The only other park skis I have ever owned were afterbangs and they were pretty small. I got the 182 punx and couldnt be more happy with them. I have experienced all the great things about them that the other guys have mentioned. I would recommend them.

Durability issues. Just last weekend a friend snapped his jibs clean in half. They are fun skis but a bunch of people break them. There is a whole thread about moments durability issues somewhere

I Personally Think That you should get two snowboards, and just use them as skis. that way you can ski really deep east coast powder really easily. Good luck

i would check out the suface double times, between the joystick these and the punx i would get the punx just because the these are soo soft, i like stifer skis though so..

ive skiied mine on 50+ footers and they are awesome, definitely not too soft, ive had some pretty bad backseat landings and pulled out of them pretty easy. they dont flex much unless you want them to, they are super buttery and easy to flex, but just stiff enough that you actually have to try to get them to flex, if that makes any sense.
and i love the camber/lack of it. its a pretty much flat ski, which i think is ideal. pops super even off jumps, doesnt do any weird catchy shit that stiff big camber skis do, ski switch super well. and they have more pop than pretty much any other park skis ive ridden. definitely recommended.

how rough of a transition will it be from 161 Line Chronics to any of these skis in a 175-180?

Go buy the Punx. The Joysticks are incredibly soft and not a great all mountain ski. The Punx are the best skis I've ever ridden.
