Wildcat vs Countach

The classic put up against the new kid on the block. The Wildcat and Countach platforms differ in more ways than just the width, and you've come to the right place to find out the real differences. Do you toss it sideways while ripping the fall line, or pin it from pow stash to side hit?

What's the difference between the wildcat and the countach?

The two key characteristics that differentiate these series are the rocker profile and mount point - two major design points 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 Wildcat and Countach 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 directions 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 on the Wildcat allows for quicker pivoting and faster maneuverability, while the more traditional (rearward) mount point and front rocker / flatter tail design on the Countach provides more stability and composure when skiing fast and through chop and crud.

02 — rocker profile

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

The Wildcat'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 Countach'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.

03 — Sizing & which width

The Wildcat and Countach come in slightly different length increments. Generally, the Wildcat will ski a touch shorter than the Countach, so comparable sizes between the two would compare the Wildcat in a 184 length to the Countach in a 182 length. Fear not, there's plenty of widths and sizes to choose from, so you can rip everything from fresh cord to the deepest of pow days.

The verdict

Choose The Wildcat if

you like to play and charge

Charge the face, wiggle through the trees, then send it off the wind lip at the bottom. Surfy, quick, and powerful — it didn't get it's Playful Charger nickname by mistake.
