 Poster: A snowHead

Has anyone Movement Skis or had any experience with?
Newish company I understand, are they equal to other brands but with a lower profile name?

They've been around for 5yrs+ AFAIK, pretty decent skis.
snowshepherd sells them, and has brought them along to sH tests in the past - he could give you plenty of advice on them:

I tested a few pairs about 3 years ago and personally didn't find any I was too keen on, but I know a lot of enthusiastic fans of them. I think the line-up has changed and been refined over the past couple of years - I would like to have another look and test at some point, despite not needing any more skis

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I've got two pairs, some 169 Flames from 2007 that I loved so much I bought a pair of 2008 183 Gladiators from @the_doc. Great skis.

Had the Movement Jams for a couple of seasons.
Excellent performance and durability.
Highly recommended.

@1969jma, I have some black roses from 2007 I think. Nice skis, I like and would recommend. They are pretty light.

@1969jma, I've had a couple of pairs of Movement skis - Flame, and Thunder. The Flame 179cms was a lovely "do-most-things-on-piste-okay" kind of ski I found slightly "dead" at some speeds rather than nimble. But the build quality was excellent. The Thunders 186 were a battleship of a ski, stiff, solid, and destroyed all in its path straight-lining. A real blast! I've heard good things about the Jam, but not skied that model. I did demo for a day one of the 2015/16 models (I forget the name, but it was wedge-shaped at the front and skied all to cock!).
Just be careful of what you buy, these skis are relatively expensive.

I have 3 pairs of Movement skis, Jams 2010, Logic's 2012 and Buzz 2015. the Jam has been my most used ski with the logic's only being used a couple of times for day tours. the jams performs excellently, I've skied them on piste but mostly off and they've been great fun. The Buzz were bought at the end of this years season so have not skied them but the reviews all seem to be good

I still have a pair of 2004 Movement Pow Pows, my first dedicated off piste ski though at 193cm long and 125-92-113mm are narrower than my "one ski quiver" now!
Quality build, real chargers in their day, loved them to bits but were an handful on a crowded slushily bumped piste, trying to get back to resort after a long powder day.
No idea of the current line up though........
(I did regret not getting the orange Dynatar Pro-riders of the same vintage but I got the Pow Pows so cheap of the rep, I couldn't resist!)
