I got the Carsons they sold a couple years back. Pretty good skis for park but not all mountain really. Definitely depends what you buy. The only issue i had was that the topsheet chipped a bit because of my skis hitting each other in the park. Generally a given when they aren't cap construction though.

If your are riding rails most of the time the edges will crack and come out

I mean this is every ski on the market

I rode the Vice for the last season and 1/2 (115ish days) of mostly rails and I loved them. The top sheet chips a bit like every other ski pretty much, I never cared. The base and sidewalls are really durable, edges are great, just make sure you detune a lot. I loved them, Im now on Icelantics because they are now my beaters but I never really had complaints about them. Id go for em.

Complete opposite side of the Moment skis' spectrum, but I got a lot of rail use on an old pair of Night Trains (Now discontinued in their line). But they held up amazingly well, things were tanks. I'll never say anything bad about their build quality based off my experience.

I have owned 2 pairs of the vice. They are good skis and soften up a lot after you use them. The edges are a little thin and do break easier.

Moment skis are all hand built in Nevada by locally sourced woods etc. Their graphics are completely bananas and I like it. I think you could do a lot worse than going with a pair of skis from Moment.

Agree.

I had a pair of night trains (still do, as my rock skis) ... super high quality, just some top sheet chips. I ordered direct from them and they were really easy to deal with.

I would buy their product again.

blister podcasts did an interview with the CEO luke jacobs, as far as knowing what the company is about its well worth a listen (they've also done interviews with ON3P, armada, line etc and are all really worth a listen)

blister also swear by the bibby.

Weird! I've lost my mind. I thought I was posting this in the 17-18 thread. Forgive me!
