Moment Deathwish Tour 104 Ski
The Moment Deathwish Tour 104 is built for skiers who earn their descents on foot and still want a real ski underneath them. Triple Camber, a profile pairing tip and tail rocker with low camber underfoot and two micro-camber sections either side of the binding, gives the Deathwish Tour 104 edge grip on firm snow that a rockered twin tip usually gives up, and a 132-104-124 mm shape carries enough shovel to float soft snow. At 1,700 g per ski (179 cm) the Deathwish Tour 104 sits at the heavier end of touring, which is the trade for spring corn, breakable crust, and objectives where the descent is the point.

Why We Like It
- Triple Camber puts two micro-camber sections either side of the binding, which is why a fully rockered twin tip still holds an edge on refrozen snow instead of washing out.
- A paulownia and beech core, paulownia for low density and beech for the stiffer stringers, gives the Deathwish Tour 104 more spine than a pure paulownia touring build.
- Moment publishes the mount line at 6 cm behind true center on every length, so the mount is a known quantity rather than a shop guess.
- An ABS sidewall, a tough extruded plastic strip along the edge, and a 2.2 mm hardened steel edge put real material where rock strikes and edge impacts land.
Best Uses
- Freeride touring where the descent is the objective
- Spring corn, breakable crust, and refrozen variable snow
- Big lines and multi-day objectives on a ski that will take abuse
- Trees and technical terrain at 164 cm or 174 cm for the shorter radius
- Pin-tech touring setups on a 104 mm platform
Ski Specialist's Advice
The Deathwish Tour 104 comes in 164, 174, 179, 184 and 190 cm, and the radius runs 18 m, 19 m, 21 m, 22 m and 24 m across that run. Moment notes that deep rocker lines and a progressive mount make the Deathwish ski shorter than its number, and we agree with that read, so we do not size this ski down the way we would a directional touring ski. Effective edge tells the same story: the 179 cm carries 1,408 mm of edge on the snow, which is short for the length and is what keeps a 104 mm ski pivoting in tight terrain.
Moment publishes the mount at 6 cm behind true center on all five lengths, so we mount to that line unless you ask for something else. The ski ships flat and takes pin-tech touring bindings or a hybrid binding, and Moment does not specify a reinforcing plate. Match the binding to your boot sole norm rather than to the ski, since a ski carries no sole standard. On brakes, Moment recommends a 102 mm brake against the 104 mm waist, and notes that brakes running 7 mm to 9 mm off the waist in either direction still clear.
Skin width comes off the 124 mm tail rather than the 104 mm waist, which puts the Deathwish Tour 104 on a 140 mm stock skin trimmed to shape. That is the same width Moment pairs with this ski in its own skin options. The tail is a rockered twin rather than a flat tail, so a tail clip needs a strap or wrap fitting rather than a notch, and plan the trim to leave the twin tip clear.
