MoShips and Skogens

I was talking to a guy today and I asked him if he was getting new skis but he said he couldn't afford them but was looking at buying $400 (Canadian) snowboard pants. Then I told him about some Line deals from D-Structure and here's what he's told me from experience.

Skogens:
Really hard to turn with and blow in powder.

Mothersips:
Incredibly floppy. As in, lots of chatter and when you stop you can see the rest of the ski catch up with you.

Is he full of shit or are these some common problems? They are the 2001-2002 models BTW and he rides the 2000-2001 Blue 1080s (181?) so he's probably comparing the skis to his 10's.

the 01-02 skogans didn't ride as well as the 00-01 skogans. but in powder they kicked butt, for a skinny ass ski. I think he's blowing you shit on the moships. they have a titanal laminate (sounds stupid, but it works wonders) from tip to tail that helps the flex of the ski. what he is telling you is what happened with all the pocket rockets i rode. they chattered so much unless you were in powder or a deep corn day. but the moships have a little heavier, just a teeny bit, core so that it doesn't chatter like a pocket rocket does.
but don't take my word, go to your shop and get them to either demo a pair or get a rep to demo you a pair...

Are you stalking me? because that would be super.

I wasn't looking to buy, I was just seeing if this was true.

It's kinda funny though, he was in the store getting a single sleeve for his arm because he broke it in 3 places doing a frontflip japan and has metal in it now and it gets cold.

The way he described the MoShips made me think of those Distance jumping skis how they bend like crazy and flap around.

That bullshit, skogs rock the powder. Moships dominate the powder and everything else. They are stable as hell.

Friend of mine has the Mo-ships!!! They fuckin rock i am so jealous maybe that guy that told you that they chatter was just a fat fuck and the skis (although a powder ski) couldn't hold him up. Also was he skiing in icy conditions

haha, that's arse, the Skogens rape the whole mountain, I found them the nicest twin tip out there to turn and kill the mountain on, they rip it up.

really....i just got my skogans the other day..they're way softer then i expected. I figured with that titanal laminate they'd be a bit stiffer then that. Glad to hear they're rippin the whole mountain..even though mine will probably get used strictly for park (i have to other skis to cover everything else..).
