I have the Jeff 110, DW 104. I've skied a WC108 and Reckoner 112...I think it depends on where you're skiing and your style. I think they all have a lot of pop, but the Jeff is far superior in NW chop, followed by WC108 and then DW104 / Reckoner 112 (IMO). But the pop is also different. Bamboo just has a different feel. The Moments are stiffer overall so the pop is more snappy than the Jeff but not as "smooth" maybe? There sweet spot is not as big. The Reckoner 112 has a lot of pop but I find it pingy.

IMO the construction, weight, and shape of a ski will all impact chop performance. The deathwish (my favorite ski of all time) in full fat is a great chop ski depending on how you approach it. If you want to turn, slash, and get airborne in the chop. It's one of the best. If you want to strait line or carve gs turns not something much. For that a wrenagade,
or commander would be better. I think too often we don't consider the skier as it relates to performance in a particular condition.
As for pop. I'd say it depends. Construction and shape probably have more impact that weight. To me I think a bamboo ski is easier to butter and pop. On a my deathwish I'll generally get more air off of a bump due to the stiffness of the core vs a Jeff. Both are great. For me I've had one season on a Jeff and sold it. There is a garage full of moment.

20% the whole site for Father's Day . That makes the Commander 108 blems one of the best deals in skiing right now. If only they had the Countach in stock...

If you're patient, I can write something up after a couple of weeks. Yesterday, I bought a used 192cm M-Free 108. So, first I gotta waste some days testing the M-Free previous owner's -1.5cm mount (at Mammoth), and then I gotta remount it forward to do some more valid testing.

Incredible deals right now on SkiBurger wow. Commander Tour and WCT blems for $399? If I wasn't waiting for the DWT104 I'd have some new fat touring skis coming.

I’m a sucker for sweet rock skis. Perusing the Fakebook Marketplace I found some sweet 184 Bibby’s. $50, fuck it I’ll pick those up…I show up and they’re a pair of 13 vintage (I think…), that were my old touring sticks that I always regretted selling!! I was so happy to see them again! Bases still in great shape, just an extra set of holes in em’. It took a while, but they came home!

Email from Moment this morning said they will be discontinuing five skis this year... curious to see what takes their place. Assuming 3 of 5 are the Commanders (98, 108, and the Tour)...

Went for a little walk in the woods around the Mammoth lakes basin this weekend on my non-tour Wildcat 108’s and realized the BD skins really didn’t like staying put on the squared off Moment tips.
Anyone have experience with a skin tip connector that works well with non-tour Moment tips?
