As far as skiing goes, this is really exciting, what you're saying about those 108 skis. Amazing pictures too. Thanks.
Anyone tried the Wildcat 101 / PB&J? Was thinking to do a Wildcat quiver 101 /116.
I am afraid that those don't carve as much as my Rustler 9. I really like the Rustler but at over 40mph they don't inspire confidence.
So just skied the Moment Wildcat 108's in champagne powder Knee deep and up to the crotch. The trees were totally loaded and untracked. I have never skied the trees with such ease and total confidence in a ski. I was skiing much faster but with more control through tight aspens. Skiing on the groomers with broken and piled snow was a blast. It is so stable and capable. I could either run them flat or put them on edge and rip. My friend skiing with me said he couldn't begin to keep up with me. The Wildcat 108 takes my award for Absolute Best Powder Ski. View attachment 126003 View attachment 126006
I have that combo and it works great for out west. The 101 is great for any soft day up to mid thigh or more depending on your comfort level. They are awesome in the trees. The 116’s work great from boot top on. Don’t let the radius fool you on either they turn easily way tighter than stated with good technique. Both can leave trenches on the way back to the lodge too. When things firm up I use an 83 or 98 Kastle.Anyone tried the Wildcat 101 / PB&J? Was thinking to do a Wildcat quiver 101 /116.

@Ron Which mount point did you use finally? I am thinking of getting these skis in 190cm.
And they are really an obvious improvement over the previous Bibby Pros?
(I take it that at 118, yours are the 190s.)
Usually your posts are spot on, but.....
It's spring slush, not Colo powder. Heavy spring slush is heavy spring slush anywhere.
By afternoon on those slush days, almost all other skiers have given up - too rough on softer flexing skis, and I have those slopes mostly to myself & friends, like ducks on a lake in a blizzard. And I'm often using the same skis that were great for edging on refrozen groomers at first chair. (Though sometimes I'll use GS skis then, and switch out just as he did to one of the other pairs I mentioned. )
I've talked to Luke a few times about building a front side biased all mountain ski for those of us who don't really need or want anything over 95 for a DD. A directional, groomer zoomer with off piste chops. He knows his clientele and that's not their jam. So, not likely going to happen.Not sure about what they prepare fro next year but I would be curious to try a narrower/hard snow focused skis from them.
From Luke (Moment CEO):
"We are not making a PB&Death and not going to do a group buy with a ski that we can not test and refine. New skis drop 8/1. I think you guys will be stoked about what we came up with. "

Correct, Im skiing the 184 but I am betting there's not much difference between the two lengths.
As far as mounting goes, I dont know how tall you are or your weight or if these will be skied in wide open, straight lining/Super G terrain or more bumps, trees and tighter spots. ( I ski a lot of powder bumps trees and higher spots with very little open terrain, so the 184 works perfectly) if the skis are not scaled from 184 to 190, which I dont believe they are, I think -1 to -2 (max) would work. they are supremely stable so im thinking more like -1 but I haven't skied the 190.
