Wildcat 108 vs Deathwish 112

The big hitters. The cult classics. The two that skiers keep coming back to.

How does the Wildcat 108 and Deathwish 112 actually stack up once you get them on snow? Well, have we got some info for you. From camber differences and sidecut radii to on snow performance and street cred, we're gonna break it down for ya.

What's the difference between the Wildcat 108 and the deathwish 112?

Both models feature quite a few similar design characteristics, with a couple of distinct differences. The Wildcat 108 and Deathwish 112 both tackle a wide range of conditions with authority, and one isn't necessarily better than the other at any given terrain. The key in choosing between the two is how you like to ski, and whether that's a little more playful and surfy or a little more composed and intentional.

The Similarities:

Both models feature a progressive (forward) mount point and a twin rockered design, with very comparable weights. They both feature a dual radius sidecut and allow for more upright or more forward skiing stances.

The Differences:

The main difference between the two will be the slightly more surfy and playful style of the Wildcat 108 vs the slightly more planted and composed nature of the Deathwish 112. This comes almost entirely from the different rocker profiles - Mustache Rocker on the Wildcat 108, Triple Camber on the Deathwish 112

Enough with all this overview fluff, let's rip the fall line.

02 — Shape & profile

The biggest difference between the Wildcat 108 and Deathwish 112 is the camber profile.

The Wildcat 108's Mustache Rocker features deep tip and tail rocker with a traditional camber pocket underfoot. Quick to smear and forgiving when you get lazy, while retaining power and composure when the snow gets variable and the line choices get questionable.

The Deathwish 112's Triple Camber is a signature Moment profile featuring two smaller camber pockets within the overall camber. Retaining the deep tip and tail of Mustache Rocker, Triple Camber provides extra grip, creating focused edge pressure for confidence inspiring bite when conditions suddenly go sideways and that beautiful pow run turns into refrozen garbage.

Get the down low straight from other customers — real reviews pulled directly from those who own the skis.

Wildcat 108

Lucas Verified

They are total rocketships. Live up to the hype and the description. They are fun to ski, really stable, great edgehold, and great float. Can't wait to get back out there.

Joshua Verified

A ski that's pure fun immediately out of the box. The flex and rocker make it very maneuverable and manageable but still hard charging for seding chutes and couloirs.

Chris Verified

Absolutely fell in love with them the first run of the day. To top it off, they are absolutely beautiful. Couldn't recommend these skis or this company enough! I'd give more starts if I could.

Deathwish 112

Jerome Verified

Absolute phenomenal skis. Great for all conditions. They surf powder, cut crud, carve well, and are playful. My last pair was the Deathwish and so will be my next pair.

Johnny Verified

I'd read reviews and finally broke down and bought a pair. I wish I'd had pulled the trigger earlier. They truly are a quiver of one.

Myko Verified

Legends say these skis were carved from the ribs of an ancient sky-serpent, frozen mid-flight when the gods argued over who owned winter. No one knows who shaped them into skis - only that whoever did probably shouldn't have.

The verdict

choose the wildcat 108 if

you prefer to slash & charge

The Wildcat 108 shines when the snow is relatively soft, you're ready to get after it, and everyone is watching you from the chairlift. Charge the open faces, slash and burn, then toss 'em sideways for a little flair.
