Moment Countach 110
Overview
The Countach 110 is a directional freeride ski built to charge big lines and thrive in deep, variable snow. Its exaggerated 140-110-130 shape, rockered tip and raised tail deliver buoyancy and an almost surfy feel in powder, while camber underfoot preserves edge hold and pop. This is not a mellow all‑mountain cruiser — it’s a purposeful, burly tool for riders who want to ride fast, slash, and land features with stability. Expect a ski that asks for commitment and rewards aggressive skiing with control.
Construction and specs explained
Construction blends a full‑length poplar and European beech core with carbon reinforcements and VDS damping. Tip (140 mm) increases float in soft snow, waist (110 mm) balances stability and turnability, tail (130 mm) enables energetic slashes and release. The rocker profile (rockered tip, camber underfoot, raised tail) dictates float, pivot and rebound. Turning radius (18–22.5 m depending on length) governs arc size and stability at speed. Weights are substantial by touring standards; this ski is built for composure and power rather than lightweight uphill efficiency.
On-snow performance
On snow, the Countach 110 feels composed and confident in deep, chopped and high‑speed conditions. The rockered shovel initiates float early, and the beech layers with VDS smear out chatter when things get rough. It airplanes through soft snow and chews through bumps with less feedback than you might expect from a non‑metal construction. On hardpack and narrow groomers it’s less at home: camber helps edge grip, but the overall width and shape make tight, quick carves more demanding compared with narrower piste‑oriented skis.
Handling and comparisons
Handling is surprisingly playful for its dimensions — the wide shovel and tail encourage surfy slashes and playful pivots. Shorter lengths (176, 182 cm) feel snappier and easier to steer thanks to smaller radius; the 188 and 194 cm variants trade turnability for stability at speed and landing room. Compared to the Wildcat 108, the Countach is stiffer and more stable at speed; compared to the Commander series it’s more directional and freeride‑oriented rather than pure piste‑charging. It occupies a niche of aggressive, floaty big‑mountain skis.
Who it’s for and drawbacks
Who should buy it? Advanced to expert freeriders who demand a high‑speed, stable platform for deep snow, chunder and committing lines. Drawbacks include weight and width for those who tour or want a one‑ski quiver for hardpack carving. Recommended mount point is about -8 cm from tip, and brake width should be roughly waist + 10–15 mm. If you want a confident plower in powder and a ski that rewards aggressive inputs, this is an excellent, purpose‑built tool.
