Moment Ruby Alpine Ski

5 Star Rating

Excellent all-mountain ski

By Backcountry.com Vendor Rep Ranked #96 - Alpine Fat Skis November 18, 2008

This review is for the 190cm Ruby which differs vastly from the 180 and 188 lengths. Comparatively, the 190 is the stiffest (and similar to a newer Volkl Gotama) followed by the 180 and then the 188 which is the softest of the bunch. Both the 180/188 have a larger turned-up tail, but the 190 has a relatively flat tail which adds to a much longer running length which I measured to be 160cm. After spending 5 days on the Ruby, this will be my everyday ski without question. On firmer snow, they absolutely rail and I've yet to find a speed limit. Although the camber is large (3.8cm), they ski very damp and there hasn't been any tip flapping or deflection in choppy snow yet. As long as you stay out of the park, you should be very able to take the 190 Ruby out in all conditions. I've only had one powder day and it was shallow, but will update later once I get these skis in deeper snow.
