marshal got me on some m1 rockers last year and it's probably the best every day ski I've ever been on. Glad to see them re-badged as the Garbones. Garbiel is such a badass skier and nice guy. Deserves a pro model more than just about anyone out there.
Chocolate? This is doodoo, BABY!

Soo Stoked. Bout ready to order my Bibby Pros....although "Melee" - when you click buy now on the bibby pros, the description attached to it is for a different ski.....not a huge deal, but something you'll want to fix im sure...
anyway, Is there any chance you'll entertain a group buy potentially....I realize this is tough, but being a broke college kid, a "penny saved is a penny earned".....if you would consider it, and give me a number for a price break, I would be more than happy to organize it (or try to)....PM me if something is a possibility....
either way, I'll be picking up some Bibby pros, shortly.

The prices Moment are charging are more than fair, especially for a company that is making their skis by hand in the USA. Hell, their prices are competitive with companies that mass produce their skis in China. I sincerely doubt they are getting rich doing this. They're doing it because they love to.
You're in college. Big fucking deal. I was in college too, not very long ago. I know what it's like. I also know that most college students aren't nearly as broke as they think. The ones that truly are, generally don't beg for handouts. I also know that once you graduate, and have a job, you don't have unlimited resources. You still have to budget. Just like in college. Being in college does not make you special. Sorry.
Don't pull the broke college student card. It's weak. Sack up and support a bunch of guys that are trying to make a living doing what they love.
Just my opinion.

Damn all of these boards are looking SICK.
Just wanted to ask; why are the Donner Parties listed as a jib ski? Seem like a better fit to be in the "freeride" category. I only mention this cause I'm sure a lot of people lookin at your website will be searchin out the big mtn and pow skis. I for one, looked at the jib category simply out of boredom rather than interest. Even though I wouldn't typically be interested in any ski in "jib" lineup, I sure as hell would love a pair of Donners.... Just a heads up."Some go to church and think about fishing, others go fishing and think about God."

not beggin for handouts, just looking to save whatever money is possible, and the colllege kid thing isnt a card. I'm in college I have limited money, I'm buying a pair of these skis regardless, but itd be foolish not to AT LEAST ASK and at least see if there can be a deal made.
anyway, moving on.
what is the standard mount position, presuming its not at dead center, how far back from dead center

When I was in college, most of the people that I knew who were always "broke" spent lots of money on some combination of beer, pot, cigs, and eating out a few times a week. Cut those out, and you'll have your money for a couple pairs of moments right there.
Oh, and I'm still not too clear on what the difference between the 188 and 190 rubies is.__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ________________

Because the "freeride" line is too huge. Consider it backcountry jib, ski it how you wish!

Thanks man, yeah if you should recall what are some of the positions back from center or standard that people maybe liked but got voted out, that'd be great to know
also with a 22m radius, did you guys notice any catch/hook in the tails in deeper stuff?
thanks for answering all these questions, you guys have a great product and represent it real well. rock onLast edited by volklpowdermaniac; 07-27-2008 at 04:14 PM.

Was the flatter tail to increase running length (or effective edge) without going too long? Will I miss the true twin from last years model, which I love but wish it had a higher top speed and bit more muscle on firm snow? Sure makes life easy when sliding in and out of tight places (insert one line zinger here).
