Moment PB&J Ski

It's difficult to quantify how much stability you're going to lose by getting the shorter length. Look at it this way: If you ski a lot of tight trees and bumps and want a very nimble ski, go 182. If you want a floatier, more stable platform for all-mountain, get the 188. I'd imagine you'd have some tip dive issues on the 182.

I enjoy center mount over - anything with a ski like this. But on the other hand this pair isn't symmetrical which would be more ideal for a center mount. If your pair is one of the longer versions Id say try out it out, it's fun. And no mount is permanent. If your tall or got the 162's and riding switch is not on your, set then back. I did that with my hellbents and went through my park rat phase but I give me the ability for proper technique...there all mnt skis and if your in pow on center mounted skis that really aren't that fat your lean way back and exhaust yourself and look like the fools who have forgotten
How to ski the right way...... Bottom line. If your a big guy don't center them. If your like myself at 6' 175 you'll be fine EXCEPT IF YOU GOT THE 162s. Repect for riding moment. Youll be happy either way

I'm about the same same size and the pbjs are the best call. I'm getting a pair of my own. 182. With the marker jester bindings. Your exactly right in the scarcity of a true all mountain ski. I'm 19 and couldn't ask for a better all purpose ski with such good balance in not being to Park specific nor having too great of a powder design. Good find dad

Hey there,

I've got a pair of these in 182 mounted up with Dynafits as my soft snow touring ski. I haven't toured on the Belafontes, but have toured extensively on other tip rockered Moment skis. If you don't want to read any further, the short answer is no, the tail rocker will not make skinning substantially more difficult than the Belafonte. Buy away. To elaborate, PB&J is actually a half pound lighter than the Belafonte in the same sizes, so it will tour easier in that sense. The tail rocker in the PB&J is pretty gradual, see my picture below. If you were skinning straight up a very steep skin track in very firm conditions, you might notice a slight bit less skin in the tail touching the snow. This is easy enough to avoid, the skin will all be engaged sidehilling due to the fairly gradual tail rocker, or get some ski crampons. Realistically, I've never been bothered by it, and I doubt you would either. The PB&J is a super fun ski to tour on in a variety of conditions.

Those are 3 different skis. Pollards Opus ski is really soft, and pow specific. It will be a super fun ski but when the conditions are sub par your gonna get thrown around a little more. Sounds like you like to charge and in that case I would highly recommend the Bibby Pro. It will float in the pow, tear up anything else you throw at it. PB&J is similar to the bibby but has different dimensions. Both the PB.J and Bibby have mustache rocker and have similar flex patterns. Just depends on the width of the ski that you prefer. Again I'd go with the Bibby over the other 2 skis, it is stable and allows you to charge but feels playful when you want it to. you won't regret it.
