![]() ![]() For 2014/15 we’ve tweaked the design, adding a dual-radius sidecut and subtle Mullet Rocker profile that make it a little easier to engage. When we introduced it three season ago, the Belafonte was the quintessential big mountain rocket: straight, stiff, and damp. New for 2014, the Belafonte features Moment's Mullet Rocker to increase hardpack edge grip without affecting handling in variable conditions. Tip rocker eases turn initiation and corrals tip wander while traditional mounting, a flat tail and a burly aspen/ash core reward charging skiers with unshakable confidence in chop and crud. Let’s see what Moment said back in the day: 2014/15įorged from a long line of competition freeride skis, the Moment Belafonte Skis are designed to be a daily-driver for traditional big-mountain experts. Can a ski from this bygone era compete with the offerings of today? Let’s jump in and find out. In this review, I’ll be focusing on the Belafonte V2. Moment’s goal with the V2 was to improve the low speed handling without sacrificing the Belafonte’s celebrated stability at the speed. These changes included shifting around offered lengths, a small reduction in turning radius, and the addition of micro-camberered sections (think Moment Deathwish). The Belafonte V1 was produced for 3 seasons before some tweaks were made in the 2014/15 model year that yielded the Belafonte V2. Moment skis flew a bit under the radar in 2011 but this ski was received well by the enthusiast crowd. The V1 Belafonte was advertised as a daily driver ski for traditional mountain experts and seemed delivered on that claim. I was a senior in high school, Facebook was for young people, and Donald Trump wasn’t a part of the US political system. The world was a simpler place when Moment first unleashed the Belafonte V1 for the 2010/2011 season. ![]()
