Moment Skis...some difficult keywords to work with
I remember seeing something about Moment Skis here at one point, and thought they looked cool, but forgot about them until a few weeks ago at Mammoth when I ran into a girl sporting a pair of the distinct square-tipped boards. I asked her about them and she said that her brother, a guy named Casey, makes them in Reno. She even told me they have a website at momentskis.com. Well, if they do, someone is squatting on that domain cuz nothing ski related comes up.
I've searched a few different ways as due diligence to avoid jong status, but I'm just gonna ask. What's the dilly with Moment Skis and how does one get more info?

Are you talking about MoVement? If so, there are many details over at TelemarkTips.com - lots of reviews too.

no, dude's talking about MOMENT. Out of Reno, from the Slouch snowboards factory. Look in the KW comp threads and some www.coreshot.com articles for pics of maggot zIPPY rocking the 130mm+ waisted Commies.

Nope the website is not up and running yet, I believe they are still working on that. As far as the skis go, zippy on here rides for them/helps design/make them. They have 3 shapes I believe right now, the communist are the big boys, 135 at the waist and weigh half as much as my nordica blowers.......
really fun to ride too!
edit: the commies also have some carbon fiber in them which make them pretty stiff but without the added weight.......... Start pming the shit out of zippy telling him to get the website up

Next time you are on windblown snow with your twin tips, look and see what shape your skis make in the snow.....

I think they're cool looking. It's like skiing Gotamas backwards.
