Flexable allmountain Ski

[Tim.etter24]

I am searching for a playful mid-fat ski which is good in pow too.

I saw some nice Moment skis but I don't think they are playfull or are they?

Is there any ski you could recommend??

And what size should I pick?

moment's mid-fat all mountain skis like the meridian and the wildcat 108 are good at everything. they are a great mix between playful and chargy.

True that! Both are super fun, substantial enough that you can blast through any chop or crud while remaining playful enough to mess around off little kickers and pow laps. Just depends on if you like a little camber for stability on hardpack or full rocker for a more surfy ride.

wildcat 108 or candide 2.0 (102) would be good

Yes. The wood in the 108 makes it stiffer, which we think is better for a more narrow ski. The Wildcat is wider and therefor damper with its current core profile. They have a very similar feel when you ski them but on a general flex test the 108 is stiffer. As always, check out Blister review for a more in depth description if you'd like!

Wildcat 108

How about the 108 compared to the deathwish? I know the deathwish is getting a little wide, but otherwise seems like it could ride well in the park

The Deathwish being slightly wider is going to float better in deeper snow but be a little slower edge to edge when carving hardpack. The Wildcat, being narrower is quicker edge to edge when carving but won't float as well. Deeper rocker lines in the Wildcat will make it pivot slightly easier in tight spaces whereas the Triple Camber in the Deathwish make it feel a bit more planted. Triple Camber also allows for 4 contact points per edge rather than the normal 2 so despite being 112mm underfoot the Deathwish will grip as if it is 104-106mm.

For something that favors on piste conditions, tight bumps or can be taken through the park go with the Wildcat 108. For a ski that favors consistency all over the mountain and floats a bit better in deeper snow go with the Deathwish.

Deathwish is a little more playful, but if you're looking to ride in the park as well I'd go Wildcat 108 for the width.

get the ct 5.0s they have flat camber so they edge to edge very fast and are 122m to float like a champ. They are on the stiffer side but that what allows them to rip crud.

Wait isnt the deathwish wider than the wildcat 108?

Correct, the Deathwish does have a slightly more playful flex (not by much), but the skinnier width of the Wildcat 108 will make it more manageable if you want to take them into the park.
