Huge Pop for Huge Air

By Elias Littenberg November 4, 2010

Like a lot of cambered Moment skis, these have a ton of pop. It took a few laps rallying around the Bird last spring (chop, crud, sun-beat bowls, and icy groomers) to get used to the extra stiff tail and large amount of camber. The Belafonte loves to be up on edge, especially in crud, and skis really smooth once you are moving fast. The mellow rocker on the nose means that your skis won't dive or deflect in variable snow and the tall camber helps you boost over convex bulges of rock and clear those not-quite-vertical cliff bands. I'd recommend de-tuning the edges a bit since they are going to want to grab until they're worn in some. The Belafonte is tough and has a sturdy build - specifically for rough and tumble big mountain skiing.

I'm 5'8", 140lbs, ski the Bird and was loving life on the 182cm.
