Called it. Time to grab those Meridian tours. Already have the meridians.

[K1mJ0ngTr1ll]

My guess is Ghost Train/Meridian/Meridian Tour

194 Ghost Trains ordered.

Trying not to get that new Meridian

I thought for sure I would be ordering the GT today, but I’m really wanting to try the Meridians.

Feel like they fill a more important role that I’m not getting with my DW104s

Waffling between the Meridian Tour or Marshalls BC90...the Meridian is sexy af so gets the cool factor points.

[Westcoaster]

Ah shit

I have last years and love that ski. The new colorway is calling me though.

Ha, would love to but not in the budget unfortunately.

Why is it so hard to find reviews on the ghost train?

I dunno, but I wrote up a sorta review for this drop. https://www.powder.com/gear-locker/o...-is-underrated

Drooling over the GT, need a proper pow stick back in the quiver. At 6 feet 175lb aggressive skier, am I crazy for thinking I should go with the 194? Other moments are 188 C108s and 190 WC101 and DWT. The rocker profile and effective edge are steering me to the 194...

I have the deathwish 104 and the meridian. They are both tons of fun. I just find myself grabbing my meridians a lot more. Unless it’s icy as shit. Then I’ll do the 104 wish.

Great mini review - stumbled across these Exit Worlds in CO recently if you're still searching for your white wale

I think my problem is I went 184 on the DW104 and I ski my regular DW 190 as a an everyday driver

Thanks!

Soooooo... This is actually the tricky thing. The Exit World was also a Bibby Tour at one point, with Bibby shape and profile. That's what those ones are. There are a TON of that vintage of Exit World out there, but very few of the Ghost Train Tour version. The Exit Worlds everybody wants to sell have boobs on them. The Exit Worlds I want to buy have either anatomical drawings or a maroon astronaut cable situation haha.

How timely! Your blades article was actually one of the few mentions of the GTs in search results.

It seems like they'd clash with my bentchets as the 'ridiculously wide powder touring ski', although at 2300g I'm surprised/impressed you can lug them up 5k in a day. I do love the idea of hippy pow turns with jumps off cliffs into pow in the bc but I don't actually have any stashes like that either. Might be an aspirational ski for the time being for me.

I’ve been wanting the GT for several years. Going with my first instinct!

Do the pivot 115s fit? I see they are suggested

Haha, that's fair. So, for me, the Bent falls way closer to the "practical daily driver" end of things. Like I could go on any trip with Bent 120s in my ski bag and not pitch a hissy fit. They're "fine" in such a wide range of conditions, sorta like a Moment Wildcat/Wildcat Tour. But the GT is waaaaay more fun and silly in pow. Full disclosure, when the new, light Bent 120 came out, I tried to retire my Ghost Trains and just ski the Bents. But I missed the Ghost Train so much that I pulled them out of retirement and remounted them.

I got lucky picking a pair up of the Exit World anatomical topsheet version a few years back. Best powder touring ski ever imho. The triple camber full rocker is amazing. So much fun in any depth of powder. I would definitely consider buying a second pair if they were ever re-released by Moment. Thinking hard about the Ghost Train now.

I have skied the DW 112 for nine years, bought the Meridian right before Covid hit. Wrestled with having a 112 and then a 107 as an in bounds quiver. The next year they came out with the DW and Wildcat in narrower widths. SLC rep gave me both of those to demo and at the end of the day I like the Meridian better than the DW 104 or Wildcat 101 for groomer days. I ski the Meridian in a longer length and the long effective edge length is a speed demon. Not as versatile as the DW 112 but it turned out to be a perfect quiver for me.
