Must have spent a few hours combing thru this forum to figure out what my next pair of touring skis were going to be. Flipped flopped a few times between the DWT104 and DWT112. Then the Meridian Tour dropped and I was even more confused.
In the end, great people at Moment to give you honest and credible advices. Going with the DWT112 190 since I'll be carrying a heavy pack for a few trips.
Meridian in 193cm, never going to happen?
I'd like to find a replacement for 191 M4 Mantras(full rocker)
I would assume not. Niche ski, that now only gets limited runs. Tooling is really expensive.
I don’t remember where I heard this but I hearing moment uses the same press or tooling for the 187 meridian/193 banana or I could just be remembering wrong.

I have a pair of brand new raw pivots for the meridians. There’s an outside chance I’d put some Duke PT16s on them but I feel like the Dukes are clunky compared to a casted pivot.
I’ll figure out the funky tip and tail thing with regard to skins unless someone has the answer/fix/mod already. Which I am sure they do.
This is what I would do if I were to tour on my stock Meridians. You should be able to find my post with the picture of a Meridian tail and a red triangle drawn on ~10 posts down. Then grab some wide tip clips for the nose end, Pocomas just barely fit over the slanted tip and should work fine with a little extra effort while putting the skins on.

How do Ghost Trains handle thicc snow, like Sierra slop?
I assume they should fine because they are made in Reno, but I'm asking cuz I didn't love the Night Train in thicker stuff. I preferred Bibby/Wildcats and Donner Party (shapes like my current ARG IIs), not in between on the amount of taper, especially in tail. But I also have never skied triple camber so IDK if that helps it??
I feel like I'd prefer the Chipotle Banana for sloppy snow
As the proud owner of Cy’s swiss-cheesed Ghost Trains, I can confirm everything he wrote. They make Teton pass way more funner. They play very nicely with a tiny binding
186 Bananas are almost sold out. I’m almost positive 193 is the better length for me and there are more of those.
I start work again next week, but I really need some of my gear to sell to get into Banana territory $$.
I needa grab 190 WC 118s and 193 CBs by the end of this season. Just got WC108s a few weeks ago.
Hey Moment, thanks for making long radius skis!

Im 5’10”, 220ish all geared up. If someone offered to trade their 193 Nanners for my 186s, I might make the trade but I have never regretted the 186. I spend most of my time at Heavenly and Kirkwood so long boards would be overkill.
I would like to have a pair of 196 wildcats for emergencies and trips to Mammoth.
196 is onsale currently. Don’t sleep on it.
