Moment, based right down the road here in Reno, has been an ardent supporter of Skiing the Basin since the 2020-2021 season. I encourage you to swing by their new factory and chat with their knowledgeable crew. They makes whatever ski they want, and I can guarantee you want whatever ski they make!
Here are a few thoughts after hundreds of cumulative days, thousands of hours, and hundreds of thousands of vertical feet on several different Moment setups.
The Deathwish Tour (DWT) series has never stopped impressing me (read my long-term review of the 179cm here). I reach for the DWT 112 when conditions are mysterious and want a setup that can tackle everything from chunder to powder to firm to slush. When I am looking to go big on vertical or arc spring corn turns I reach for the DWT 104. This is a ski that feels equally at home carving high speed turns as it does holding an edge in committing, no-fall-zones.
The Chipotle Banana (CB) is my resort/backcountry crossover ski, and let me tell you, I have never had as much fun sliding on snow as I have with these planks. Don’t get fooled by their hard-charging nature, I have never had a ski that is so easy to pivot and slash.
All of my setups wouldn’t be complete without Moment’s Voyager bindings, and these are hands down the best made (thank you ATK)and most well thought out (thank you Moment) touring binding on the market.
