hot.pocketGlad to hear! For mounting I'd go either rec (large triangle, -5) or the triangle closest to the tip of the ski (what I would call our 'athlete' line, -3).

If you want to capture the style of your old park skis in an all mountain platform, go -3. They'll be ever so slightly more maneuverable at this line, will provide quicker / twitchier turn initiation and will 'feel' more like the center mounted park skis you're used to.
If you plan on ditching some of the park influence for better all mountain performance, go -5. They will hold a bit better of an edge at this point, give you a slightly smoother turn initiation and -5 is hardly far back enough to hinder switch performance.

Let me know if that makes sense or if you want any clarification on anything!


Makes total sense, might go for the rec line on them then, park days are behind me and I'd like them to perform in the soft stuff that doesn't need the Kartels.

Thanks for the stellar service man!

The website does not do the Commanders justice, I'm absolutely biased but they are some of the nicest looking skis I've ever had the pleasure of producing.

Anyone have any experience touring with cast on the wildcat 108s? The 108s are my favorite resort ski but I’m worried they’ll be a little too heavy for me on longer tours

Ideally Ide get the 108 tour as well but $

@tcurle tours on the 118 Wildcat with the Cast system all the time, certainly heavier than other touring setups but it beats riding a tour setup in the resort or spending a ton of money for two setups.

Quite a bit of these touring shots were also accessed on a 108 Wildcat Cast setup:

Incorrect. Unless your first day on them is in the extremes temperature wise, the factory tune is top notch and no wax needed for at least a couple days

Everyone is right, we put a sweet wax on the skis before we ship them out but, with that said, another wax never hurts, especially if you live in a weird climate.

You'll be fine if you don't feel like waxing, but waxing right away won't hurt it either. Most people don't wax right away, some do because they're super picky about their wax type, some do because it's a relaxing thing for them.

Damn.. This may be a game changer. I know this may be a stretch, but any chance you have an album of past ski graphics? I have a couple in mind that I love, but I figured there has to be others I dont know about.

Most are online, Google search "moment skis issuu 2014" and replace with whatever year you'd like. issuu is the website that hosts old catalogs, you can find most brands on there.

Yes, the biggest center triangle is the main factory rec line with smaller triangles at plus/minus 1 and 2cm.

Main rec triangle is always money on moment skis.

Plus it's not just a rebrand, we worked with ATK to raise the toe piece and reduce the ramp angle from 11mm to 7.5mm.

As soon as I saw the release I started doing the math of how many paintings I need to sell ASAP to buy a pair. Was in the market for new binders for my DWT anyway, and these look damn perfect.

So go buy my paintings so I can buy these!

I mean a custom ON3P runs 900-1200 and their pricing is pretty similar so I’d say it’s accurate speculation

Yes. When I asked, I was talking with Luke, their vice president, and that price came from him. It's expensive to produce a one off ski

Yup, typically you're looking at $1200-1500 depending on what you're looking to do. The extra cost is due to the labor that goes into producing a single, one off ski, instead of our usual large batch production.

P.S. Luke is our CEO.
