The Aski Blue Moon wants to be skied fast in powder and chop. At 116mm underfoot with a double rocker, the Blue Moon will float on the deepest snow. Yet the underfoot sidecut approaches the tip of the ski for ultimate edge hold. Weighing in at 1540g, the Blue Moon is light enough to save energy for crushing the down. Built with CarbonShell technology and lots of rubber and Kevlar layers, the ski is solid, damp and ready to charge. Enjoy your trip to the Blue Moon.

Is there a manufacturers climbing skin for the blue moon ?

Hi John, unfortunately not but we are happy to trim some skins for you!
Answer this question:

How far back from center is the recommended mount (mid-boot) point? Are these a fairly traditional/directional design?
6/19/2022
Steve, They are a directional ski, so have a fairly standard mount point. The tip doesn't have much rise. But they are fully rockered like the Volkls used to be, very slight throughout the length of the ski. Think a V Werks Katana, but slightly wider and a pound per ski lighter.

Are these surfy like a full rocker ski? ie. can you throw them sidways in a hurry?

Hey Steve, These are Fully rockered. Slight from the center, then more at the tip and tail. I have only one powder day at Alta on our Demo and they are FUN. I remember them being easy to turn, even though it was a lot of ski for me. Because of their very damp construction, they make an excellent 50/50 ski too.

Hi, what would be the ideal mounting point for these skis?
I heard someone say they might ski even better if mounted ahead of suggested mounting point (i.e. 4/5 cm), what do you think?
Cheers,
Mat

Hi Mat,
I would recommend going with the recommended mounting point on the Blue Moon. Mounting 4-5cm forward is quite extreme. Not only with the Blue Moon ski shorter in that orientation, it will not float quite as well. If you do decide you do not like the recommended mounting point, you should not have any hole conflict going a full 4-5cm forward.

Thanks for the feedback!
Will check whether to "upgrade" also boots since I am afraid the tlt8 carbonio would be kinda of extreme in driving those fatty planks :)
Btw very intriguing technology!

have you had a chance to ski these? How did you like them? Would they be too small for 6'4" 215 lbs? What bindings would you recommend to be light but still be able to use the skis potential?

Hi endo1234, yes we have all the Aski skis in our demo fleet; they really are impressive. I'm sure you could handle a longer ski at your size, but 183 wouldn't be bad for backcountry usage, especially with a wide waist and shovel like the Blue Moon. The Fritschi Vipec, G3 ION, Plum Yak, or Dynafit Radical 2s can drive this ski no problem.
