Went out for a tour yesterday on my DWT184s. I know it’s repeatedly said here on TGR to always mount at the line because of the triple camber.
However, I had a hole conflict at the mark, so I ended up back about 1cm, and honestly these have never skied as well as they did yesterday. No tip dive issues, still slashy and fun as hell, more stability letting them run.
So I guess don’t be afraid to play around with mount point if you don’t initially get along with them. (I did get Moments blessing for the change, it was ~ 1cm back or .5 forward and they said either would be totally fine)

FWIW, on the OG DW my fave spot is -1cm.
On my DW104 I like them on the line.
Both have demo binders so I could experiment a great deal.

And I swear by both the DW and the DWT one in front of the line. I really wouldn't worry about mounting most skis 1 cm forward or back from the line.

I have OG Bibby's and DW104. Also had WC108 for 1 season before swapping for the DW104. Your impression of the DW vs. WC is how I felt about DW104 vs. WC108 - the DW104 was easier to ski and more forgiving. Not sure why my impression is so different from the official Moment view though.

I also really like -1. Both my Deathwish skis and my DWTs are mounted this way. When I converted my older pair of Deathwish to rock skis, I changed bindings and went on the line. I feel I need to concentrate more on having a centered stance on the line.
It's probably a reflection on my skill/technique/style, but the DW is my favorite ski....at the -1 mount point.
Honestly, I can't see a centimeter making much of a difference to the triple camber either.

Anyone else on the DWT ever feel like they are a little too grippy on steeper stuff sometimes?
Maybe I just need to get better at doing this from a skill standpoint, but my only complaint is sometimes I want them to be a bit more drifty when I am in a chute sometimes.
I find they want to track across the fall line sometimes when I'm would like them to smear and skid down it a bit
Anyone else find this with the DWT/DW

Might sound weird or even worse on TGR - like bad skiing, but get off the front of your boot. Smearing only works if you're centered. Once you are, it works extremely well because of the flat/reverse camber spot underfoot.
You could also detune the cambered section closest to center, but that's the source of all your grip, so I wouldn't want to do that.wait!!!! waitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwait...Wait!

A more forward mount can also help here.

I detuned the tips of my DW further past the contact point, and felt like it made the tips less prone to catch and go across the fall line. There's way more effective edge up there than in the tails.
Tails are totally fine, release so easily.

For me it's a matter of use case/having too many skis. When I'm on Bibby it's usually a bigger day and I'm not skiing a lot of bumps or trees. Similar with Deathwish though it is also my early season/rockish ski. When i'm on DW104 I'm mostly patrolling which means bumps/trees/sleds and rarely full-rage skiing. I don't ski hard enough in the backcountry to merit the weight / hassle of a 190.
