Which ski should I choose?

Hi all,

Posted something similar, but after going to the shop, I’ve got more options to think about and now I’m even more confused.

I’m in the market for a new daily driver ski. I’m an advanced/expert skier. I love moguls, trees, ripping groomers, and spent a little time in the park (novice here, but want to get better). I’m looking for a ski to do everything with when it’s not a powder day and not a hard pack groomer day. I love playful skis with a strong platform, but I haven’t spent much time on more center mounted skis like the Jeffrey. I’m 5’10” and 170lbs.

My current quiver is as such:

Stockli Stormrider 88 for groomers
Line sick day 94 (broken, ski I am replacing)
Moment Wildcat 108

I’m looking at the following skis:

ON3P Woodsman 100
ON3P Jeffrey
Blizzard Rustler 9
Blizzard Rustler 10
Moment Wildcat 101
Moment Deathwish 104

Which ski should I choose and why?

Posted in another thread. Relevant to you

I would rule out the frankenski right away. Unless you ski more than 50% it’s not the right ski. That is moments park dedicated ski.

the wildcat 101 is their ski they recommend for people who do 50% or less park but still want a ski that can perform almost anywhere on the mountain.

the deathwish 104 is the right ski for you. It’s still very playful, can slash and pivot with ease. Doesn’t need to be charged hard but still has plenty of back bone when the speed picks up. It’s actually a stiffer build than the 112 version and weights essentially the same as well.

the triple camber is going to give you great grip and bite on the east coast and icy conditions. It has a much wider range of use conditions wise because of the triple camber. Its quick edge to edge for a 104 under foot. Its the most versatile still of the bunch mentioned.

I personally ski wildcats and death wishes and prefer the wish’s. The 104 is my favorite of the bunch.
