\u201cLife moves pretty fast, if you don\u2019t stop and look around once in a while you could miss it<\/em>\u201d (Ferris Bueller, 1986<\/a>).<\/p>\n

There are a couple of reasons why I chose this quote to open my review on Moment Skis’ Tahoe model.\u00a0 The first is simply that I feel it\u2019s very applicable, as I recently relocated from Tahoe back to Colorado and, somehow, I missed the opportunity to ski on any of this Reno, Nevada-based company’s skis the entire time I was living just 30 minutes from their headquarters.\u00a0 The second reason is that you, too, can move pretty fast on these Tahoes!<\/p>\n

After reading Moment’s description of this all-mountain ripper, I was genuinely excited to try them out.\u00a0 I should clarify that, in this age of fat and fatter skis, I am someone who can genuinely appreciate the performance of a narrower waist.\u00a0 I own and ski the whole mountain on GS skis and have happily resisted the urge to go wide on my all-mountain skis.\u00a0 But with tenacious edge grip promised on this 96mm underfoot beauty, I took the Tahoe for a spin on an overcast day in Vail–home of back bowls, bumps, and, importantly, groomers galore.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The 2015 Moment Tahoe, with a topsheet graphic equal parts horrifying and adorable.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I was impressed with the edge hold these skis gave:\u00a0 even when trying to get caught a little further inside, the ski gripped to the snow like glue.\u00a0 And the radius seemed much tighter than the 23m listed for the 178 length I was skiing.\u00a0 In fact, the faster I went on the groomers the better these skis seemed to feel!Elsewhere on the hill, I played with some bumps, took the odd line through gladed areas, and enjoyed a few variable-condition runs as I searched for ways to thoroughly test the Tahoe\u2019s versatility.\u00a0 I\u2019ll be honest and say that everything I threw at them the Moment’s answered.\u00a0 The guys in Moment’s lab have given the Tahoe what they call \u201cMullet Rocker<\/a>.\u201d\u00a0 This does not mean these skis are sporting a David Bowie haircut<\/a>.\u00a0 Rather, they have a profile that includes a tip rocker as well as areas of micro camber fore and aft of a lower camber area underfoot–very technical indeed!\u00a0 What it translates to is this:\u00a0 for such a stiff and stable ski, turn initiation is smooth and easy thanks to the tip rocker, leading the Tahoe to feel more nimble than one expects.\u00a0 This profile ensures that the ski holds that edge on firm snow like a serrated knife cutting into a crusty French loaf.\u00a0 Despite that edge performance, because the ski is wider, you can still pivot these skis on a dime with little effort, making them a surprisingly versatile tool.\u00a0 Just as Moment have suggested.<\/p>\n

Overall, if you are looking for an adaptable all-mountain tool, and, like me, you have resisted the urge to go fat for whatever the reason, don\u2019t shy away from these mid-90mm beasts with graphics that include white vampire-esque fangs on a deer!\u00a0 They rip, they grip, and, while I didn\u2019t get a chance to take them out on one of Colorado\u2019s deep days, I can just tell with its Mullet Rocker that I\u2019d be loving powder days on these, too–humming along to Ziggy Stardust<\/a> with a big smile on my face!<\/p>\n
