This thread is made to warn anyone that thinks you should buy moments. This summer I bought the Team 2013 Moment ski, hopping for a awesome season. On the 8th day of skiing on moment some fiberglass started chipping. I thought that was a little but strange. I am not double corking or doing 1440. These skis should not being chipping with my skiing ability. Now at the end of my season these skis look like they made out of paper. "Thanks Moment."

The topsheets are chipping?

Pics are required. Did you get in touch with Moment?

i think the message here is clear. Don't buy moment skis if you are a rabbit. They cannot withstand long periods of hopping.

Thats just cosmetic. All skis do that, especially with sidewall construction. Sand your sidewalls to reduce it.

As stated, just topsheet chipping, thats normal. Although its not normal to your extent, wtf are you doing to your skis? If anything it looks like your "skiing ability" is constantly crossing your skis over on landings or digging them into the skirts on rails. Ive had moments for 2 seasons (about 170 days skiing park total) now and don't have nearly this much damage to my topsheet. I have had such a good experience with Moment as have several of my other ski friends, I hardly think a thread bashing them because you cant keep your skis separated is called for.
