What ski in your quiver do you enjoy skiing the most, but don't necessarily ski the most? I recently picked up some Moment CBs in 186. Due to the winter we've been having in the PNW I've only gotten them out several times, but I honestly think about grabbing them every time I go. They are just so fun and different. I daily my Moment DW 104s, which are fun as well, but in a more predictable way. You know what you are getting every time.

I enjoy skiing on my mogul skis. I don’t often take them out anymore but every time I do they put a smile on my face ripping a bump line. Plus the looks I get from strangers are always entertaining.

Black Ops 118. Too big for me to want to daily (although I know some of you do) but really fun for storms and 2-3 days after.

I'd want to ski them all the time just due to the top sheet.

Armada Magic J. When I just want to get all surfy in pow they are so much fun, but I love the stiffness of the Revolt 114.

Hoping the sender free 118 is a cross of those 2 next year. Stiff and surfy is what I need

How do you like the Revolt 114? I'm strongly considering snagging a pair just to try (have a friend with a pair he'll sell me for cheap). I've been interested in getting on them for a while now, but haven't had the opportunity.

118s are my daily even though I’d be better off with something ~100ish wide. The sender 110s seem good (other than the delay issue on 191s) but I really wanna be in the 95-105 range

If you’re using them correctly the top sheet doesn’t seem to matter much.

Arrrrmada Magic Jzzzzzz

2012, 127 underfoot, 190 long, 1.5cm of effective edge, 1 million stoke.

I remember a few years ago when we had such a perfect season in the Okanagan that I had them out almost every weekend from Jan-March. I still look for an excuse to take them out every day, but barely any luck.

2018 188 edollos, they keep separating underfoot despite being in perfect condition. I suspect the owner I purchased them from didn’t store them correctly causing the binding epoxy to deteriorate.


they’ll last a while if I only take them on cold sunny park days. That way they stay drier than a slushy day
