Moment Deathwish 104 Ski

The Moment Deathwish 104 is an all-mountain freeride ski for advancing and expert skiers who want one ski that holds an edge on hardpack and still works in soft snow. A 132-104-124 mm shape on Triple Camber puts two sections of micro-camber in front of and behind the binding, which is what lets a twin-tip ski set an edge on refrozen snow rather than washing across it. At 1,950 g per ski in a 179 on a poplar and beech core it is a heavy ski by touring standards and a stable one at speed, built for resort laps and lift-served terrain rather than long climbs.

Is This the Right Ski for You?

Best For
Advancing to expert skiers who want a single resort ski for mixed conditions and value edge hold on firm snow as much as float in soft snow.
Consider Another Ski If
You want a dedicated powder ski or a ski you will carry uphill. At 1,950 g per ski in a 179 the Deathwish 104 is built for lift-served skiing.

Why We Like It

  • Triple Camber puts micro-camber sections in front of and behind the binding, which allows a twin tip this playful to still hold a hard edge on refrozen snow.
  • A poplar and beech core is heavier than the paulownia in the Tour version and returns the damping that makes the ski settle at speed instead of chattering.
  • The 132-104-124 mm shape stays constant across every length, so a shorter ski behaves like the long one rather than becoming a different ski.
  • Radius runs 18 m in a 164 up to 24 m in a 190, so length choice changes turn shape rather than only surface area.

Best Uses

  • Resort laps across mixed conditions
  • Firm morning groomers into afternoon chop
  • Hardpack and refrozen snow where edge hold matters
  • Deep days at a resort rather than in the backcountry

Ski Specialist's Advice

Size the Deathwish 104 by weight and terrain rather than height. The shape is identical across the length run, so the 164 is not a softer ski, it is a shorter one: it has 1,258 mm of effective edge against 1,518 mm in a 190. Skiers who ski fast on open terrain should size up, and skiers in trees and bumps should size down.

Moment publishes the recommended line at 6 cm behind true centre on every length, and that is our default. Moving it rearward makes the ski more directional and takes away the loose tail that Triple Camber is built around. Brakes should match the 104 mm waist.

Compare the Moment Deathwish 104

Deathwish 104 vs. Moment Deathwish 112

The Moment Deathwish 112 is the same Triple Camber concept at 138-112-129 mm, and at 2,000 g per ski in a 179 against 1,950 g here the weight is close. The 112 is the storm-day ski and the 104 is the one that works on a firm morning. Skiers who ski mostly powder take the 112.

Deathwish 104 vs. Moment Wildcat 108

Different profiles rather than different widths. The Moment Wildcat 108 runs Mustache Rocker with camber underfoot on a poplar and ash core, which is looser and easier to pivot. The Deathwish 104 uses Triple Camber for edge grip. Skiers who slash take the Wildcat, skiers who carve take the Deathwish.

Deathwish 104 vs. Moment Deathwish Tour 104

Same shape, different job. The Moment Deathwish Tour 104 uses a paulownia and beech core at 1,700 g per ski in a 179 against 1,950 g here, so it climbs where this ski does not. The alpine Deathwish 104 returns that weight as damping on the descent.

Common Questions

Who should buy the Moment Deathwish 104?
The Moment Deathwish 104 suits advancing and expert skiers who want one resort ski for mixed conditions. Triple Camber gives it edge hold on firm snow that a rockered twin tip usually gives up, and a 104 mm waist still floats soft snow. At 1,950 g per ski in a 179 it is a lift-served ski rather than a touring ski.
What bindings work with the Moment Deathwish 104?
The Moment Deathwish 104 ships flat with no plate mounted and Moment specifies no reinforcing plate, so it takes a standard alpine binding, a hybrid binding, or a pin-tech touring binding. A ski carries no boot sole standard, so match the binding to your boot sole norm rather than to the ski. A 104 mm brake matches the waist, and brakes within 7 mm to 9 mm of the waist in either direction will clear.
Where should the Moment Deathwish 104 be mounted?
Moment publishes the recommended line at 6 cm behind true centre on every length and that is our default. The progressive mount is central to how Triple Camber skis, because it keeps the tail available. Moving the mount rearward makes the ski more directional and removes some of the performance it was made for.
What is Triple Camber?
Rocker at the tip and tail, low camber through the centre, and two additional sections of micro-camber set in front of and behind the binding. The rocker and low camber let the ski surf and slash, and the micro-camber sections concentrate edge pressure on hardpack. It is why this ski carves better than its rocker profile suggests.
Is the Deathwish 104 a powder ski?
No, and it is worth being plain about that. A 104 mm waist with a 132 mm shovel floats soft snow but the ski is built around firm-snow edge hold. Skiers whose priority is deep snow should look at the Deathwish 112 or the Wildcat 108.
How much does the Moment Deathwish 104 weigh?
Moment publishes weight per pair, so these are per-ski figures derived from that and rounded to the nearest 50 g: 1,750 g per ski in a 164, 1,850 g in a 174, 1,950 g in a 179, 2,000 g in a 184 and 2,150 g in a 190. That is heavy for touring and normal for a damp resort freeride ski.
What length Moment Deathwish 104 should I ski?
Size by weight and terrain, not height. The 132-104-124 mm shape is identical on every length, so length changes effective edge and radius rather than the character of the ski: 1,258 mm and 18 m in a 164 against 1,518 mm and 24 m in a 190.

Our Verdict

The Moment Deathwish 104 earns its reputation on firm snow rather than in powder. Triple Camber puts micro-camber in front of and behind the binding so a 132-104-124 mm twin tip sets an edge on refrozen morning groomers, and the poplar and beech core keeps it settled where a lighter ski would chatter. At 1,950 g per ski in a 179 it is a resort ski and not a touring one, and skiers who want the same shape for the skin track should take the Deathwish Tour 104 instead. For one ski to ski everything inbounds, this is a strong answer.
