With these amazing end of season sales this year, I picked up a pair of each. Ive never skied either, im wondering what ya'll might be able to say about them? How are they for jibbing in an all/big mountain context. I dont really plan on taking them into the park much, but I do intend to be poppin' off all the knolls and features at Jackson/Alta next season.

How do you guys ski your TSTs or PB&Js? What are they good at, what are they bad at? Any info would be appreciated and plus Kellogs special K.

I'd take a look at the Blister gear reviews, they've done an in depth review of the TST and taken 3 looks at the PB&J, See below:

A friend of mine used his pbjs on everything and didnt have a problem but the tst is sooo rockered in the front with like nothing in the back sooo I would think pbjs would be a better all around ski

How is the TSTs Durability. And how much of a noodle is it. I know its light, but is it too light? I just picked up a pair and i'm getting a little buyers remorse. I just hope it doesnt feel like some AT specific ski, that in turn sucks on steeps and cant handle speed.

Ya for sure If I only had a one ski quiver... I bought the TST and PB&J as my all mountain skis. I have a few pairs of legit pow skis when its deep, i.e. K2 Obsethed and Moment Governor, as well as Nordica Patrons and Surface New Lifes that im trying to sell but looks like I have to hold on to them for now.

I like thinner skis when there's a foot or less of fresh, and by thinner I mean 101 and 103m (i.e. PB&J and TST), thats as thin as ill go for anything out west... Im going to be using the PB&Js and TSTs for some park laps here and there too, so for those of you who think the TST cant do park, check this http://vimeo.com/45282640 ... the TST doesnt have tail rocker, but it is a twin tip.

The durability on the tst is great! I bought them as used demo skis last season (I am cheap, I know.) but they still look pretty new! I love how light they are. They could be a little more responsive though.
