Moment vs. ON3P vs. Rossignol

BlunaWhat's up, I need help deciding between 3 pairs of skis. For reference, I ski almost entirely in Colorado backcountry and resort with a week or two worth of days year year in Utah and Wyoming. I'm looking to add a freeride/ powder/ big mountain ski to my quiver and am deciding between the moment deathwish 112, ON3P woodsman 108, and Rossignol Sender 110. Although the ski is going to be for mainly freeride style terrain, I still want it to perform in trees and tighter spaces. I dont care too much about groomer performance since that's not really what I do and I have other skis for that. Preferably I'd like to support a smaller brand like moment or ON3P but I feel like the rossignol may be the best for what I'm looking for. Any one have any thoughts or comparisons between the 3? I'm also super indecisive so don't recommend other skis unless you think they're really good.

@PartyBullshiit can help with moment questions. @Schoess can do 3p. I'll write a rossie schpeil when I have the time.

Go wider.

I have the deathwish 112 and 104. The 112 floats great for what it is. It’s a really variable condition ski in that you won’t find yourself wishing for something else when the conditions change week to week. It performs really well overall until things get really really firm or super iced over, but it’s still better than most because of the triple camber

That’s where the 104 shines compared to the 112. I also prefer my 104 in the trees and tight spaces over the 112. It’s plenty pivoty and super maneuverable just isn’t as fast as the 104 with change of directions or edge to edge. the added width also makes it feel a little more cumbersome compared to the 104.

While it will ski most everything it does prefer a slightly softer snow. Plows through crud and chop fairly well but does have a softer core than the 104 so it’s slightly less chargy.

It really comes down to what your main priorities are. If you want a ski you can use in powder or deeper days as well as med tide days yet still be usable on low tide days the 112 is the weapon of choice.

If you really love trees and tight spaces, want something that will Rip when things get firm or iced over and don’t mind giving up a little float I’d recommend the 104 over the 112.

Between the two I prefer the 104 overall but if I needed a 1 ski quiver and knew it would be my only ski I’d choose the 112 just for the added versatility on deeper days.

The 104 has really good float for what it is but it’s only good for about up to 8” of fresh at most before it starts to struggle.

so deep snow priority 112

lower tide priority 104.

Facts.

OP, listen to this guy and get the Moments. Save yourself the cash and avoid the ON3P. They’re way too heavy and overpriced (obviously).


The Moments will be a bit pricier than the Rossignols but it’s 100% worth.
