Deathwish 104 vs Countach 104

Two fantastic daily driver designs tossed into the octagon — who comes out on top?

The Deathwish 104 and Countach 104 platforms differ in quite a few ways, and deliver unique characteristics to fit your style of skiing. Whether you're after a maneuverable, twin rockered platform with excellent edge grip or a more directional and composed powerhouse, you'll find a build that let's you tear up the mountain — exactly how you want to.

What's the difference between the deathwish 104 and the countach 104?

The two key characteristics that differentiate these series are the rocker profile and mount point - two major design criteria that determine how quick the skis maneuver, how powerful they are when driven, and how they handle different types of terrain and snow conditions.

The Similarities:

The Deathwish 104 and Countach 104 both feature a stout flex profile and the ability to charge through chop and crud while retaining the ability to throw them sideways, shut down speed, or change direction when the trees get a little tight.

The Differences:

The main differences here are two fold: mount point and rocker profile.

The more progressive (forward) mount point and twin rockered design of the Deathwish 104 allows for quicker pivoting and faster maneuverability, while the more traditional (rearward) mount point and front rocker / flatter tail design of the Countach 104 provides more stability and composure when skiing fast and through variable terrain.

The Deathwish 104 is a great choice for those who want a solid mix of edge hold and quick maneuverability, while the Countach 104 shines under the feet of those who like to drive the shovel and power through anything in their way.

02 — Shape & profile

The rocker profile sets these two series apart and provides their unique skiing styles.

The Deathwish 104's Triple Camber is a signature Moment profile featuring two smaller camber pockets within the overall camber. Combining this with deep tip and tail rocker, Triple Camber provides extra grip, creating focused edge pressure for confidence inspiring bite while retaining the ability to slip and slash when the terrain tightens up or the chute starts closing out.

The Countach 104's Front Rocker features lower tip rocker and a considerably flatter tail, keeping the traditional camber pocket underfoot. Powerful and confidence inspiring, the tip rocker aids in float and maneuverability through 3D snow, while the flatter tail provides support and composure when skiing fast through chop, crud, and anything else less-than-ideal the mountain throws your way.

Deathwish 104

Alice Verified

Took them out in Tahoe for a spring skiing weekend and I was so impressed. Best skis I've ever tried - effortless at high speeds and performed so well in all kinds of snow. Can't wait for next season!

George Verified

Why didn't someone tell me these things were so figgin sick!?! Incredible edge hold in all conditions, like being on rails, turn on a dime, stable, steady in the air and on landings...very very impressed.

John Verified

Yeah these things rock. I was nervous about the triple camber but it's great. I would recommend this ski to anyone. Love everything about it. Daily driver in the Wasatch mountains for 2 years now.

Countach 104

Jim Verified

The Moment Countach 104 is an amazingly capable and incredibly fun daily driver - it's playful yet powerful while rewarding capable skiers who know how to drive from the front of the boot.

TK Verified

This ski absolutely rips...I like to ski fast and hard and so far, this ski is everything I was looking for in a new daily driver. I love a directional ski, and I had it stuck in my head that I needed metal. I realized I didn't.

Colin Verified

It's damp in all the right ways: calm at speed, confident when things get sketchy, but still loose enough to slash, pivot, ski switch, and hit whatever side hit looks like a good idea at the time. Directional without being overpowering. Stable without being dead.

The verdict

Choose the deathwish 104 if

you like edge grip & maneuverability

Rail turns, throw it sideways, then pin it to the bottom. Grippy, damp, and composed — Triple Camber is the torch to carry you through the darkness, just don't get lost along the way.
