Moment PB&J or LINE Blend?

On the lookout for a pair of skis that would work well when fresh snow comes but also when it starts to get slushy at the end of the season.

Basically i've come down to these two skis but can't make a decision yet so what do you guys think?
anyone got experience with these skis? pro's and cons?

Will be using them allover the mountain but mostly park.

Throw me some knowledge and thoughts!

Have to put the soul rider from Nordica in here aswell, altho it lacks rocker in tip/tail which i want but sure looks nice!

It all boils down to your style of skiing.

I skied the blends for an entire summer at Hood and loved everyday on them, but I like my skis to be on the soft side as my quiver is elizabeths, opus, and EP Pro.

I believe the PB&J will be stiffer but with more rocker.

How about the nomad rkr to? But my friend rode the blend and loved how soft they were. Rode them all year for everything and how no issues in waist deep powder.

One of my friends that I do a majority of my skiing with rides last years pb&js and absolutely loves them. He always talks about how great the service is (i live in Tahoe and moment is in sparks) so I would say go with moment

If you like a buttery, more playful, style in the park I wouldn't recommend the pbj. Its surprisingly stiff and super fun for all mountain. Very easy to ski, but can also charge. I got hurt early season and only got to use them for a few days but big, slow rotation corks/backflips/flatspins off natural features with choppy run-ins/landings were where the pbj shined. I have 188s mounted maybe 2cm back from center and weigh ~185lbs.

This^^^^^

I ski the chronics and love them in almost everything. I don't get a lot of powder type days but they perform well then and are consistently good in the park.

I rode the ON3P jeronimos last season. Arguably the best ski I've had the pleasure of riding. They killed it in 22 inches of fresh, slay groomers, and were awesome in Killington spring slush. Pm me if you have any specific questions
