The crew at Moment designed the Tahoe Alpine Ski to handle the variable climate of the high Sierras, suiting it to everything from pow, to pondskims, to hardpack. This do-it-all quiver of one features a moderate flex and versatile sidecut for performance all over the mountain, no matter what the weather’s doing. The mid-fat waist floats in the pow and carves the crud, while the twintip lets you spin through the park or pipe when you get bored.
Bottom Line: You’ll never have to swap skis midday when you ride the Moment Tahoe Alpine Ski.
thanks! also what are these like as park skis, how central can the mount be without losing to much all mountain ability? i like the idea of these skis, and would wait for next years model but they would have to be my only ski so i am looking for true all mountain and park ability? as, i may be able to get two sets of skis from last seaon in the sales which could be more beneficial if these are lacking particularly in some areas?
It is a pretty decent park ski, if you like a little wider base. For mounting I would stay that no more the +4 from trad would be good, further back is more all mountain. This is one of the few all mountain skis, so it would be great for a single ski quiver.
I skied the 188cm Tahoe last year towards the end of the season. First impression is that they are light (8.25 lbs. total for both skis). Flex is medium throughout. I think it could be a bit stiffer underfoot. Effective edge is 152cm which is similar to the 193cm Atomic Thug, 188cm Dynastar Big Trouble, and 185cm Rossignol Scratch BC. At 96mm underfoot, float was adequate but I would use something else when it's deeper than 6". It has lots of pop along with the 2-3cm of camber. Performance is substantial in variable conditions. Mount these with AT bindings for an incredibly light setup; 180cm version weighs 7.75 pounds and has a 144cm effective edge.
i am 5 foot 8, can only find the 170's online to purchase, would these be long enough? because i have read these skis feel short?is there anywhere selling the 180's?
Yeah you'll definitely want the 180cm at least. Backcountry.com is stocked out for the season. If you can't find 'em anywhere this spring, it would be worth it to hold off till next season. Same fun ski, dope graphics.
I have this years model in 188. Mounted with Salomon STH 14's at -3cm. The recomended mounting line is -7cm. I like them a lot. They ride smooth, very damp. The groomers are a blast, no speed limits. They do ski shorter then they appear to be, im 5'11" and i feel like they are only 175's. Off jumps they have lots of pop and smooth on the landings. The big square tips and tails are great, and very unique. You will get lots of questions about them!! In fresh pow they do so-so. Its not made for super deep days and i wouldnt recomend them for that. That being said these are an inbounds ski. I think if you like skiing iside the ropes ( and i mean ANYWHERE inside the ropes) these are definitely the skis for you.
Oh yeah, the skis are TOUGH. I give it up to Moment on these skis. The PBT topsheets don't really chip at all, very minimal. Sidewalls are super tough and the bases are hard as a rock. Ive tinged quite a lot of rocks so far and they have zero marks on them. Very durable ski's.
This ski has become my favorite ski to pop around on this season. I originally wanted one for park and groomer days, but I've ended up taking it all over the resort as well as nearby slack country. It's super light for how wide it is, making it a breeze to lug up any bootpack. The mellow sidecut makes it perfect for variable snow and it's a cinch to ski switch. I've been loving it in the spring snow, especially in steep treed terrain where there's lots of turns to be made and the snow changes rapidly from shaded areas to sunny spots with every turn. We do have a bit of a bummer though. These things have a ridiculous amount of camber. Cross country skiers would look at these and say, "Damn, that's a lot of camber!". I find that your outside, pinky edge will catch a lot which makes you need to pay attention more than you normally would on the groomed stuff. I'm also not yet comfy taking big park airs with these for the same reason. I don't want to deal with any hiccups while going that fast. Landing airs in natural snow is no sweat though, so that's cool. Another issue with the super-camber is that I lose a lot of edge contact on steep, icy snow. While waiting my turn to drop into a slick 40 degree chute, my tips and tails were on the snow while a long section of ski under my foot wasn't making any contact at all. I'm 135lbs and have the 180cm and I couldn't de-camber it with my weight. I'm sure that these will break in as the core softens up, but your first few weeks may feel a bit funny until you get used to it. All in all these are a super fun, light weight, bouncy ski from an up and coming player in the industry.
Moment lists the effective edges for the 180 and 188 at 155cm and 161cm respectively (vs. the numbers in the review above- 144 and 152.) The numbers listed here make more sense, given the big twin tip tail. Which ones are right?
I measured the effective edge as the distance between the contact point at the tips to the contact point at the tails (skis relaxed and facing each other base-to-base). The ruler was place straight across the edges. If you normally measure while the skis are de-cambered, then subtract a cm or two from my readings.
This is a great ski, i use mine for bumps, park, and groomers. they carve effortlessly and have held up much better than i expected. however one big problem with the tahoe is the fact that it has so much camber you sometimes get stuck in a turn, and have to almost hop to get out of the turn. other than that they are great
