Yeah...I still think I'd do a 184 steeple 102 first. Weight penalty is minimal (7.9 vs 8.0 lbs) so 45 grams for the pair. Don't know if the lighter moment layup will have the same deflection issues in variable snow that the on3p tour layup line does...
But still, for touring? Both look good. I would on3p.wait!!!! waitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwait...Wait!

Some thoughts after seeing things today.
I called out moment on the "semi cap" bibby too soon. The "cap" is very very minimal. They should have just said "we're bringing back the OG bibby." The so called cap is tiny and absolutely will not affect ski performance.
The changes to the billy goat are also miniscule and i doubt they will significantly change how they ski.
ON3P Jessie line looks great. Core is planed thicker than tour layup but thinner than standard men's skis. They are not noodles by any means. Stoked for my GF to try them.
Salomon mtn lab has a cavernous heel.

Personally I wish more companies would do the semi cap thing to prevent top sheet chipping. I don't see why it would affect performance in any way, positive or negative.

You can't get nearly the same pressure from a vaccuum as you can from a press. The type of layup doesn't change in a bag, it's just a lot cheaper and easier to build that way, which is why it's popular with homebuilders.
Semi-cap, wood-core skis can be made on the same press a sandwich construction ski is, just with a different top mold. I think it's the same for full-cap skis as long as they have a wood core. Foam skis are generally injection molded I think, but I could be wrong.

No, but there's a video in this thread that shows the atomic binding, I believe.

Yeah, I guess I don't know exactly. I've heard about the big European factories, and they didn't sound a lot different than the Whiteroom at 4FRNT, ON3P, Moment, etc, where they run a single press. They were just at a much bigger scale with fancier CNC toys. I think they sometimes do pre-preg the resin into the fiberglass for easier lay-up which I bet would use an autoclave or something similar.
I'm sure I don't have all the facts, and I'm also sure different manufacturers and different skis require different techniques, so I'm open to be proven wrong.

Yeah, those big Euro factories are a whole different beast. A bunch of robotics, etc. Nordica / Tecnica for example...

Presses and molds are quite different as well.
