FWIW, the 115’s fit the 184’s just fine (123mm waist) with no bending.

Just when I thought I was done buying skis this winter, I realized there are still a few Meridians left. I've been eyeing this ski for a while since I absolutely loved the CB. I’m curious to hear what everyone thinks about the Meridian as a daily driver. Currently, I’m riding the DW 104, which I love for everything from hardpack and icy conditions to about a foot of powder. It’s nimble but stable, which I really appreciate. The only downside is that it feels a bit more planted and less poppy than I’d like. Plus, when I’m charging through chop at high speeds, it can feel a bit floppy.Do you think the Meridians would address these issues and satisfy my needs for an everyday ski?Honestly, I’m just trying to rationalize getting another Moment ski. I’ve seen it said that Moment skis are like Pokémon... you gotta catch 'em all

Hey guys... Heresy, but I am considering cutting my minty C102 loose. 182. Mounted to 305 with STH2. Could also sell flat. Thought I would mention it here first. I would be interested in trading for 187 Meridians or 190 Wildcats in similar condition.

meridians can be condition finicky. They'll hold a nice edge in firm but if you get them flat based at all on firm or icy they go all over the place and are absolutely a clench your butt hole ski. They prefer a bit of soft snow under the bases. They'll float but they aren't powder monsters and some people are surprised by the lack of float. They have absolutely no pop. There is no camber so they have no pop to give you extra energy from one turn to another. I love mine and this with my deathwish 104's are my two favorite general use skis. As long as you're keeping your dw104 I think you'd be happy as a combo quiver. Those two with my ghost trains could easily be a 3 ski quiver for all conditions. The deathwish do have more energy and pop though so keep that in mind. Meridians are more playful and super pivoty. They want to slash and slarve all over the place on a good way.

My DW are going nowhere. I love them. I have a couple of reverse skis. I am pretty familiar with their attitude. I would also like to add a big mountain soft snow charger for when I want to smash choppy runouts at mach speeds. Hence the 190 WC.

If you’re looking to spend new ski
Money, you should consider the R110 from Heritage Lab. Should be a little more versatile than the meridian, and a lot more damp. It’s almost comical comparing the base and edge thickness of my meridians to the heritage lab’s skis. People have loved them (I have yet to get out in my pair)

Still a few left at the presale price if you buy quickly.

Squarely on my radar, though one of the few skis I end up paying close to retail for.... Maybe worth it.
Edit: ordered.

I keep forgetting about Heritage Lab, even though I’ve had my eye on their skis for a while. I’ve been hesitant to stray from what I know works, like Moment, but after asking about the C102 earlier in this thread, I got the chance to try out the new 2025 Nordica Enforcer 99. That experience really made me rethink sticking solely to one brand. It was a friend's ski, and while I’m not exactly looking to buy Nordica skis, I have to admit—it was an absolutely fantastic ride. It delivered everything I want from an all-mountain/freeride ski, and it highlighted something I felt I was missing from my DW 104s: it was stiff and super damp, yet still precise, nimble, and incredibly poppy. I haven’t felt this confident on a ski in nearly every condition. It definitely has me leaning more toward the C102 over the CT104 (which others have recommended here over the C102). It just goes to show how tough it can be to recommend skis—everyone has their preferences and what is a hard charging ski to one person might be a great all arounder to another.....I digress..I’m definitely going to give Heritage Lab skis a serious look.

There is a place for all of the above. The Nordica build is incredibly versatile if not as exciting as Moments builds. The Moments, in particular the Deathwish, are incredibly fun as a daily driver. The Heritage Lab skis are totally different again. Incredible build quality, heavy and damp. I see myself holding my Enforcer 94s for firm days, my DW104/112 as daily drivers, the HL R110 and FR120 for deeper and/or choppy snow.

How are you liking them? I would still like to jump on the 104.

[skier666]

Feel similar to Deathwish 112 but a tad more stable and not as lively...but they are close. The triple camber also allows a bit more bite on the firm groomers.

The 104 is a mind trip. It feels loose like the wildcat 108, but charges and holds like the commander. I didn’t get along well with the DW 104, but this CT104 hits the spot.

Got to ski my new to me Meridians I bought off MO a couple months ago for the first time on Saturday at revy in eight inches of mid density BC pow which fell on top of 8 from the previous day - Was lucky enough to hit rope drop in North Bowl and got first tracks down Drop-in area over there. They floated and pivoted like a dream in the mid density snow, no dive whatsoever, but not hooky or locked into a turn either. Biggest take away though is these things crush chop when you lay them over, but are so confidence inspiring in how easy it is to shut it all down in an instant.

Typically ski in a shallower much drier snowpack (Banff) with most storms ranging from 2-6 inches overnight, and I see these getting a ton of use.

I always struggle to find my stance on my Deathwish coming from my other skis mounted at -7, -8 so I am thinking to unload them and give the countach a try.

Was able to squeeze in a couple of ski days during a work trip to Japan. Will be in Hakuba this weekend, and need to rent skis. Wanted to see if anyone had a pair to borrow (rent?) or if anyone else was there to ski?

Keep in mind that his are mounted forward a bit when you read his comments. Not that I disagree with you. Takes me a day or so to get back on a -5 ski when I have been skiing -8 for a few weeks. Not that it is difficult or really affects my skiing, it just takes a bit to adjust back.

Yes, I am mounted +2 on both the Countach and Deathwish.&nbsp;</p>

Ghost Trains landed yesterday. My god, I want to make these my dailies for the graphics alone...
