FYI- Chalet in Bozeman has all lengths of Wildcats for $609. A few other shorter lengths in WC 108, 101, and CT ($639). If they had a CT in 188, I would have had to try it.

The Commander 102 has me reconsidering my life since I'm now daily driving them and haven't found a weakness even into 10+ inches of fresh.
I have some new 95 brake Pivots that need a home. Still considering DW104 or WC101 as a replacement for my park skis that are 1 dimensional (I hate mid day ski swaps).
Damn the Commanders are good. Poppy and bombproof. I felt like a super hero yesterday.

I’m probably in the minority but I did not like the wildcat 101 very much. Too narrow for that ski. 108 is awesome. Dw 104 and the reg DW on my list. Think I might like shaggy ahmeek more though - little more weight and little more forgiving and supposedly a smoother triple camber.

In your opinion, is there anything the Deathwish does better than the Countach? How about carving groomers or grip on firm? I've been on the Deathwish for a few years, and just got the Countach to try out. On paper, I was thinking it would perform similarly to what you are describing. Excited to get them out on snow soon.

Speaking of the DW and Countach. For those having been on the DW, Countach, and Wildcat (108 and 116 or 118), are you sizing similarly i.e. 184, 182, and 184 for the three skis? I have the DW 104 in 184, but am curious about going up to 190 in the DW 112 or WC 116.

Another FYI, ProSki in North Bend WA has all lengths of WCT108 and both short and long lengths of DWT104 for 20% off list. It's their first year carrying Moment so someone buy these sticks to encourage brick and mortar to take a chance on Indy ski makers!

Heck yeah. Full send. They are the ultimate stomping pad for a (relatively) small ski. I'll ride my 186 Blade Optic 114 if things are deeper, but in anything else the Commander is my go-to right now. It's stiff and has a lot of camber. Just enough rocker in the tail to make them work in variable.

How is Alpental right now? I'll be coming over on Sunday. Jealous of the 108 and 98. Those are the best top sheets IMO. I'd pay Moment to just make me a single pair of the 108s with that top sheet ha. I'll probably end up snagging the Countach end of season since I can't.

I can honestly say I never had a real discussion about witches and wizards before the C98, but a shocking number of people love to bring it up.
I sometimes wish there was an artwork FAQ because Ive never had so many deep questions about the meaning of a top sheet, and I don't know shit about whats going on with it lol.

sorry for the late response. Busy skiing so haven’t popped on the boards to post.
Meridians are a blast. And easily can be daily driven but based off what you’re describing needing I would not recommend them. DW104 all day though. The Meridian is a clench your butt hole kind of ski over super firm and variable conditions. They will pivot in a dime but they won’t bite in when the conditions get icy. They slide and you hold on for dear life.
the dw especially the 104 is going to bite. Give you the grip and confidence you need when you end up in those “oh shit”” places.

Sierra is going to be softer. I almost grabbed a 179 since it’s 104 underfoot and they were on super sale. Still have some too but moment recommended against it as it’s really not built for my height or weight 6’0 180lbs.
if you’re lighter you might be able to get away with it. Skiing wise they are going to ski similar both being triple camber and a similar shape. The core and weight is the main difference.

Countachs carve groomers better, much more energy from turn to turn and the tighter radius is more inspiring. The DW is better at sliding and smearing turns, while having way more grip than it should for how surfy it is. The range of turn shapws and styles possible on those skis is mind boggling. The triple camber works. The DW also skis switch better for obvious reasons.

Question for the Moment collective:
Been eyeing some 190 Bibby's for years. Recently vacated the power slot (largest pair is currently 105mm underfoot).
Found some 2017 bibbys (campfire graphic). price is right, but many mounts. Will only work for my boot at -2cm behind recommended? How will they ski?
Should i send it, or wait for a newer pair of Wildcats come up this summer then pull the trigger. Can wait until winter 24/25 if needed.

There is a buy it now option, so I think this is ok to post? If I needed a 118 ski I would buy these

Or do what I did on some recent Swiss cheese bibby’s. G flex epoxy and hardwood plugs and mount on the line.

They are in stock on the moment website without any holes drilled in them and in a 190.
