Should I go for the Moment Night Trains (10/11)?

Hi guys,

I'm new to newschoolers, so please show some mercy if I'm asking something completely stupid right now, but my search all over the web could't provide me with a satisfying answer ;). In the last couple of weeks I've been looking for some nice fat skis and I ended up with the MOMENT NIGHT TRAINS (in my case the ones of 10/11). I truly love their looking and I would really like to go for them, but as my budget is limited, these skis would my only pair for this season, which means they should be my DAILY DRIVERS. Here in the ALPS we are not blessed with daily snowfall and because of that, the NT would also be punished with normal groomers, crud, and sometimes even icy slopes. Finally to the question: ARE THESE SKIS ABLE TO HANDLE THESE CONDITIONS?
I totally appreciate any kind of help. :)

best regards,

irie11

I use them for daily drivers. Groomers, tracked soft snow, some variable, and powder is what these guys can handle exceptionally well. As soon is it gets hardpacked and bumpy, you're gonna have some problems.

I took a day or so to get used to them (coming from the JJ's) and I can use them everyday, but seriously tracked out hardpack makes me want to go home. I might as well be riding moguls with them.

No matter what anyone says though, they work great on groomers and they love to charge hard.

Where can you get them?
I would say go for them, but I like wider skis.. what kind of skis did you have before?

seeing as you're in the alps, i'd say you'd probably want something stiffer than the night train if it is going to be your only pair of skis for the season. won't be so fun on days when conditions are really firm
