If you don’t have a good time, no sweat the EMTs know where the factory is and they’ll drop your demos off on the way to the hospital.” But hey, who are we to judge? Come and take a pair for a spin whenever you like. We’ve been told this ski is pretty easy to pilot and while we don’t disagree - it’s more accurate to say it’s an easy ski if you’re already pretty capable yourself. And if the only way out is through, there’s no better ski to have underfoot when all you can do is punch it and hold on. Dual radius sidecut and a little front rocker mean you can slip, slash, and pivot your way out of whatever sketchiness you’ve gotten yourself into. But what the Commander makes you feel - is unafraid.Ī directional mid-fat charger with two sheets of titanal, full-width metal over full-height, race-style sidewall underfoot makes for a connection to the snow like no other and enough horsepower to make even Lewis Hamilton look twice.ĭon’t worry, we packed a parachute. We’ve now had several reviewers on the Commander 108 this season, so it’s time to discuss where Moment’s latest charger slots into the current market. The revised skis looked much more like what we’d expect from skis designed with stability and high-speed composure in mind, and when we first got on them at the tail end of last season, that looked like it proved to be true on snow. That changed with the introduction of the overhauled 20/21 Commander 98 and 108, which returned unchanged (apart from graphics) for the 21/22 and 22/23 seasons (22/23 graphics yet to be released). Those Commanders were surprisingly quick and maneuverable, but weren’t the most stable at speed when compared to other skis in this class. From 17/18–19/20, they shifted a bit in that regard, with those Commander 98 and 108 skis featuring two layers of metal but also having shapes and rocker profiles that made them very different from most directional chargers. Moment has a long history of making damp, stable, directional skis, going all the way back to what was essentially their very first ski, the M1.
