Just to clarify on stance issues, I feel like the BG responds best to a very slightly forward stance. Not driving the tips, but also not completely centered. Almost feel like I'm just focusing on pressuring the balls of my feet/toes.
With the wrens I felt like I had to fully drive the tips consistently. And I had a tough time going back and forth between skis.
So looking for something I can ski in a similar, very slightly forward stance that I am using on the BGs. From what I've read about PB&J's they should fit the bill, but any other opinions are appreciated.

Yeah, PB&J's fit the bill... I just don't necessarily see them as a Wren replacement because they're quite a bit more narrow underfoot and don't float nearly as well.
I ski 135 degree chutes switch to the road.

Okay, well, then in that case yeah. PB&J's are a lot less work than Wrens for sure and would compliment BG's.

moment ski / concept idea - the 120th meridian
The 120* meridian bisects the north half of lake tahoe and forms the north-south border between california and nevada. Reno/Sparks itself is at like 119.8* W.
120mm pow touring ski. basically a chipotle banana tour, but with a subtle top sheet. Tahoe based? NV backcountry? Maybe a little more taper for beaters like me that like to surf in the bc?

The Meridian's design was based off of the Chipotle Banana. So what you're asking for is a CB that is 2mm narrower with a different topsheet? That wont really change how the ski feels that much. If you want a 120ish ski with more tapper than the CB grab a set of Ghost Trains next time we make a limited edition run.

Chipotle Banana Tour - was showing on the website earlier in the month, seems only the cached version of the page from Google is available now. But either way, they've made this ski so maybe more in the future.

Moment Skis Discussion
Ahhh dammit, I so hate to bring this up again but since we’re here…
Yup tour CB is/was absolutely fuckin brilliant and Moment keeps dropping such cool shit in the reserve section, big time kuddos for sure!! And yeah, the Meridian 117 tour is making rounds and that’s sick AF, so I have nothing but love for what Moment’s doing for the core out here that doesn’t make them much dough at all. All that said, plz reconsider making a 112-114 heavy core Meridian, pretty pls (preferably with the 2020-21 Commander 98 graphics, soooooooo sick)? Just think about it, K ?Fear, Doubt, Disbelief, you have to let it all go. Free your mind!

I am so glad they were brought back on put on the reserve menu. I probably nagged Melee for a year or so. The GT is my favorite pow ski of all time. The Wildcats are great, had a pair with 200+ days, I've had Meridan 117s, I've skid a lot of pow on the DW, back in the day had some K2 Hellbents, pontoons when they first came out. I've been on most of the more popular pow skis for a run or two when I worked in the industry and for me. For me, there is no ski that makes me happier than the ghost train.

We will try to make more but the earliest we will receive more Titanal is Q1 2022. Currently titanal lead times with the manufacturer are about 8 months...on top of that international freight shipping is super delayed and messed up so who knows how long it will actually take to arrive.
If you want Commanders (skis with titanal) this year in any width or length I suggest grabbing some sooner than later because we may not have the ability to make more this winter.

Thanks for the reply. Probably won’t have the funds in time for commanders. Think I’ll go with a DW 104.

WWMD...
Looking for a new low-tide resort ski. Groomer mobbing and other hardpack garbage snow days. If there's any new snow this ski won't come out. No park.
Looking for a high speed limit and longer radius. Doesn't need to be skinny, though - I like a wider platform in general.
Given the other skis I'm on and how those need to be skied, this ski should tolerate a more upright stance vs needing to be fully on the tips.
I'm flip-flopping on C108 vs the new DW 104.
I realize nobody here has been on the 104, but it's August, so you know...
Baseless opinions, anyone?

i don't have any experience with either ski but that doesn't stop mags from giving advice...
from what i've read, the Commander is a stiffer build overall. longer effective edge, considerably heavier, less progressive rec line. from what you said, i'd say the C108 is the ski you seek. 100% baseless opinion.
melee could tell ya better.swing your fucking sword.
