Moment Skis Discussion Thread

PartyBullshiitWhen it comes to a pair of skis individual weights what factor in the build most contributes to there being a difference between two single skis? Amount of resin hand poured or something else in the materials itself?

OlimarAny plans to restock the C104 in 188?

hot.pocketAvailable for pre order now.

PartyBullshiit@hot.pocket it is true ATK is no longer doing cobranded items so no more moment voyagers? And no chance of a moment tweaked HY?

elindeBought the Countach 104 the other day as I was looking for a change up after many years on the Wildcat 101 and the PB&J before that.

Getting some post-purchase cold feet now and wondering if I should have gone with the Wildcat 108, which I’ve wanted for several years.

Going to be primarily an East Coast ski with a a good amount, but was gonna throw a cast system on there for hopefully some more uphill. I’m aware that the Countach is a more directional ski with a bit more body, which sounds pretty appealing to me - just wanna make sure I can toss em around a little bit.

Can anyone reassure me?

PartyBullshiitSierra / Sierra tour 112?

hot.pocketWhoops.

Custom skis for the wife, not a production ski.

PartyBullshiit@hot.pocket so what are we calling the OG profile? Meridian with more tip and tail
rocker And a more progressive mount? A flat bottomed wildcat with more progressive mount? A beast of its own kind?

hot.pocketCompletely flat underfoot with heavy tip and tail rocker, very progressive mount, very soft flex profile.

Non_State_ActorWhat ski are we talking about here?

PartyBullshiitThe og

Non_State_ActorAh, looks sick. Wish it was ~105mm wide and 176cm long!

joogJust put the biggest core shot ever in my countachs after taking them rather large right onto a rock, they’ll last a while but definitely the beginning of the end. Loved them but am going back to being a weekend warrior in Tahoe after 2 full bum seasons in Alta and will probably replace them with something a little more forgiving/with more rocker. How does the stiffness of the death wishes compare to something like the wildcat (which I also blew up last year). Definitely the kinda skier who will go 30+ feet on occasion and worry that I don’t see much of that happening on the deathwish, but it seems like a pretty awesome ski nonetheless. Probably better suited for a wildcat 108 or can the deathwish hold its own?

PartyBullshiitDeathwish is less stiff than the wildcat But it’s by no means a soft noodle and can absolutely hold its own. Countach>wildcat>deathwish stiffness wise. Are you near moment? If you can go demo the dw id highly recommend it if you’ve never been on triple camber. It’s great but a different experience. I absolutely love mine. Currently getting my countaches prepped for my trip. Got that structure on point.

ThaLoraxWildcat 108 or Meridian?

I already have the 101 kitty and the Ghost train. Was contemplating the countach, but seems too close to my 101s

PartyBullshiitMeridians forsure. Add some variety.

ThaLoraxKinda what i was thinking. Was hoping for input from someone whonhas skied them

Wonder why someone down voted our comments

PartyBullshiitI absolutely love mine. They’re tons of fun to ski. Super pivoty, easy to scrub speed. Fairly stiff for full rocker so a good back bone. Really good edge hold and quick edge to edge. Obviously with the rocker profile they don’t have tons of rebound energy so they’re not popping you out of a turn into your next. Underfoot is stiff so super supportive on landings. -5 mount doesn’t feel super rearward at all. They’re decent in crud and chop. Not the best but by no means the worst either. They’re really playful and maneuverable. A lot of fun in tight places and trees.

Personally for me they’re one of my cold dead hand skis. Never leaving the quiver. Having both the meridian and the wc 108 I’d choose the meridian over the wc if I had to choose one. Especially considering your quiver having the 101 already.

I will say the major con is in extremely firm or iced over conditions. They are not fun at all. Manageable but not fun. Very clench your butthole and pray for the best moments. The flat bases just get super squirrelly and want to track all over the place. You really have to be on your game if you hit ice but that’s the negative to full rocker. Outside of those conditions they’re tons of fun.

ThaLoraxThanks dude. I have the same experience with the Ghost Trains. I almost never use them because in Colorado you're always hitting hardpack between pow runs. I feel like 107 underfoot would be better for CO and get used more. I'll probably sell my Black Crow Atris if I get these meridians

PartyBullshiitI had my GT’s and wc108 in CO last season. Actually ended up using the GT’s more. We had a lot of fresh though on that trip.

ThaLoraxQuite possible that they've improved it since my 2013's came out 😆

Loooove them in pow. Hate them on hardpack

ThaLoraxHmmm. That has me rethinking them then, and may opt for the WC 108. The site's reviews say the meridian is good on hardpack. They'll definitely be a mostly pow ski, but I want something that still carves as well as my Atris and Bent 110s

joogDeciding to opt for a non moment pow/charger ski (sorry) but want a complimentary ski for the quiver. Thinking of getting something like the senders or rustlers and pairing it with a dw104 or a wc101. Gonna be weekend warrioring it in Tahoe, so this would be a ski for whatever non soft snow days I get (ice, maybe sneaky leftovers, slush). Want something I can play around with, some tricks and maybe a little park but also will want it if I feel like skiing headwall/west face a week or two after a storm. Leaning towards dw to fill this, but thought I’d see if anyone had other input
