Looking for some new skis

Love my reckoner 122s. Love my mindbenders. Any suggestions for a stiffer twin tip in the 110 range?(108-112). Probably looking for a length around 184 plus a couple cm since that seems to be one of the more standard sizes. Any suggestions are helpful.

That’s what I was thinking. Any other suggestions that they might sell in shops. A friend of mine could hook me up with a mad discount. He had bad experiences with moments.

Can’t think of any popular brands with stiff chargers that’d be in shops personally. What bad experience?

Shitt man that sucks. My moments have been bulletproof the last 2 seasons. You reach out for warranty?

I think after doing more research, this is the ski I will probably go with. A friend of mine rides em at like +2 from center and says they rip. Will probably mount em the same.

I wouldn't worry about issues your friend had with a pair of Moment's. The Deathwish is an insanely good ski that in no way feels like a 112 - super fast edge to edge, insanely easy to maneuver, and very playful. I've beat the piss out of mine and they hold up fine (as do my Bibby's and PBJ's).

Also Jeff 110's are plenty stiff.

Do not mount them +2cm from center. +2 from recommended? -2 from center?...that would probably be extremely centered for such a directional ski?

I could always do plus 1.5, but the reviews on blister mention a huge sweet spot. Probably due to the shape of the camber…there’s more in front than behind so a creative mount point kinda makes sense imo.



And I meant +2 from recommended. Sometimes I type too fast. Rec is about 7-8cm behind true center.
