I am 6 ft and 140 lb. I ski at Jay Peak in Vermont each weekend. I am looking for an all mountain twin tip that will (in order by priority):
1.float in powder (4 in - 12)
2.hold an edge
3. Quick enough to take in alot of east coast glades
4.Be super playful (I'm a teenager)
5. Not super heavy
My options right now are:
1.line blend
2.moment pb&j
3. Shreditor 102

Tell me what you guys recommend and have skied. Thanks!

TST is exactly the ski you described. Pretty much adapts to any and all conditions. Rails on hard snow, can float well in less than knee deep pow. Hell I can k-fed them in park.

Line SFB

Best all mtn ski I've owned, and I've owned a lot.
A ski that fat should not be able to cut like they do, loved mine so much that I'm using an Opus for all mtn this year for R&D

I picked up a pair of kung fujas (same as the shredditor 102) at the end of last season and got a day of spring skiing on them. They were super fun and playful in the slush

Ok nice really leaning toward the 102 or pb&j but how do the flexes compare? Will the pb&j still be playful and be able to perform in moguls? Also how so the weights compare?

If you have skied these tell me whats you think

Here's a review of the pb&j, unfortunately they haven't done the shreditor. But I can tell you that the shredditor is pretty soft and playful in the tips and tails and is a little stiffer underfoot

Dude that is literally to a T what they designed the Worth Magics for. Steep trees, drops, stability and maneuverability at speed, and of course priority to agility and quickness at any speed with double carbon hybrid layup too. The 109 underfoot is plenty for pow but it doesn't suck at all on hardpack with a little bit of camber and a snappy layup. The pointed tips NEVER deflect and they are my go to ski for anything even remotely fresh. Too stiff to be buttery but who gives a fuck? It's a playful charger like no other.


Honestly I sold three other pairs of skis after I got these because it did everything better than all of them. I fucking love these skis.

I also own Moment Tahoes that are STUPID nimble if you are looking to go mid-90s. Never been on the PB&Js but I LOVE my tahoes. Great bump ski and super quick in the trees for sure. They are my everyday ski and I love them.

Ok that's what I was leaning towards except I heard moments durability blew. Is this an issue? I won't be using these in the park at all maybe just a small jump once in a while

As long as you aren't spending all your
Time in the park hitting rails then durability should not be a concern. Moments produce great skis, highly recommended

This

I ride Moment Night trains and so far they have held up really nice, and I tend to beat the shit out of my skis. My only complaint would be that Moments base material, at least on my skis, seems a bit softer than other brands. Maybe this was fixed though?

I would say Line SFB or ON3P Jefferey. I was in the same situation and I went with the Bacons and they are pretty flexy but I love them. They float well and hold an edge on groomers as well. I imagine the Jeffereys are a little stiffer but look like one hell of a ski.

holy shit i just got the sfbs and i must say they are the bees knees. I can only offer a comparison to the kung fujas in terms of other skis in this category. They are so stable on jumps, and you can take it deep onto ice or crud, they eat it all up. Switch they are so baller and never hook or catch. Forwards they turn tight AF and can slay moguls and tight east coast trees (i rode them at killy for a few days after 8-12in). They get a little squirrelly at speed but nothing an advanced skier can't handle. I was seriously impressed by these skis and they just felt so much more fun than the kung fujas, which are heavy and kind of damp in comparison. The kung fujas are a little more solid at speed and float a bit better in pow but i personally prefer the sfbs.

The Atomic Blog is fun as shit, highly recommend. Also I own the ON3P Jeronimo and I think the Jeffery looks like a sturdier version which might suit you as well.

The tst would be great as long as you don't plan on riding switch too much

I won't be riding switch so I will definataley consider this now. How does this compare to the pb&j? Flex? Weight? The only thing is that the tst is even more expensive

If you get the tst you will NOT be disappointed, it rails on groomers, floats well in pow and is super quick edge to edge. Get them, mount them -3 cm from true center and be super stoked on what is IMO the best true all condition ski on the market.

Did anyone find the pb&js really stocky or heavy or too stiff? I am leaning towards it but for some reason it looked stockier when I saw it in person today
