I'll join team Moment, because, uh, I like their skis. Generally speaking you can charge on them but they're still playful and fun.
I ski 135 degree chutes switch to the road.

One brand for the rest of your life...
This game needs more rules. Some kind of deal with the devil/monkey paw aspect, like I pay 10% retail but I’m locked in forever even if the owners stop making skis or fall behind in innovation/quality/whatever
So what if you are locked into a brand during the Rax revolution and they’re not going Rax?
One brand? For the rest of my life?
And I never felt this way before.

When one company makes skis like the Praxis 192 Protest and Praxis/Pm gear 191Lhasa Fat for pow,
D-star Mfree 108 and LP 105 for DD, Head Monster 82’s for firm and 4frnt Cody’s for fucking around I would entertain the notion of devotion to one manufacturer.

Black crows because they have more models and shapes of freeride skis than all the other brands put together. Just through pure volume they are bound to have a couple options which work for me.
Honestly it’s ON3P because a season without Billy Goats might as well be spent somewhere tropic.
Blizzard, Dynastar and Moment are honorable mentions, in sequence. Just don’t have Billy Goats.

Black Crows is probably my runner up. Trendiness aside they make really good skis and agree the sheer variety is a strong point.

Second all of this except I haven’t had as many pairs of Kastles or Blizzards. Kaestle is my 1, MX98, BMX 108, ZX108, BMX105HP, BMX115, all good skis. Blizzard would be my 2 (and it’s close) Brahma, R9, Bonafide, Cochise, Bodacious, Scout, all good skis too. Not sure who my 3 would be, probably Moment, Commander 98, and Bananas would cover me for most days, just means a LOT of waxing to get those bases to hold wax for more then a run.
Boots: Probably have to say Lange and get a ZB to work, then the XT Free 130. I love my Head Raptor 140RS, but I haven’t heard anything positive about Heads touring boots. Maybe if I could get Atomics Club Sport race boot to work Atomic boots?
Bindings: Look, need I say more? I get P14, P15, P18, Look branded Dynafits, and if we stretch a bit CAST 2.0

Despite my current quiver being pretty diverse (7 skis from 6 manufacturers), I think Moment would have to be the answer, mainly because of the Deathwish. Commander 98 + Deathwish would cover 90% of my ski days. I haven't tried the Chipotle banana or ghost train but one would have to do for super deep days, and although the commander tour is a bit heavier than I am used to, it would be a fine touring ski for what I do most of the time in the backcountry.

How about Julien Regnier. Is that a legal answer? Pretty much that guy has been the one to drive freeride ski shapes and models since he was on the 1080.
That guy is a ski creating genius.
So my obvious answer is Black Crows. Blizzard and Volkl would be tough to decide between second.

Probably praxis. All in all the best all around pow ski and very durable. So quick and stable. Tough decision cause I love Cease and Desist, PM gear and others. But you force me and pick protest
Sent from my iPhone using TGR ForumsI need to go to Utah.
Utah?
Yeah, Utah. It's wedged in between Wyoming and Nevada. You've seen pictures of it, right?
So after 15 years we finally made it to Utah.....
Thanks BCSAR and POWMOW Ski Patrol for rescues

Volkl thru and thru from Tigers as a wee lad, Rentiger R in CO bumps, P9, Vertigo g3, Katana and vwerks and finally M102. They rail and they last forever.

So you’d stick with ON3P for <10% of your skiing?

Blizzard.
Making the choice here based on the daily driver not the pow skis. To me, most brands make an acceptable deep snow option, not all make a strong metal laminate daily driver.

Billy Goats are more than 10% of your skiing if you’re doing it right. Some of us don’t ski mission exclusively.
But no, I can build a very capable and well rounded set of skis out of ON3Ps current and future offerings which are more than competitive for 90% of my skiing.
Billy Goats, Billy Goat tour 110, Jeffery 102, woodsman 102 tour. All those skis are very competitive in their range. I could add a J110 too if I wanted to.
Only skis which are missing is a true firm snow carver, and sub100mm light spring ski. WD102 tour and J102 would still be fun in those roles.
Moment also lacks a real carver or good light spring touring ski.
