Wildcat Tour 108

Love the color and art on this year's ski. They replaced an old pair of the same exact ones.

Full disclosure: I have not skied this specific pair yet. That being said, I have been touring on the 2020 model for the last 6 seasons. They were so good, I bought the same skis again for my new setup. They are composed and predictable when the snow is firm, wind affected, or otherwise unpleasant to ski. When conditions are good, they are super playful, but can still be driven pretty hard. The Wildcat Tours are not the heavy damp chargers (Countach, for example) that I like to ski inbounds, but they're the perfect balance of weight and downhill performance for the type of touring I do. For context, most of my backcountry days are in the Western Cascades of Washington with occasional hut trips to Idaho and interior British Columbia.

These RIP!! Skiied these in blower powder in Canada, and found them super playful, predictable and responsive. They also handled icy and wind crud really well. Light enough for me to be happy doing 6 back-to-back 5k vert days (...and I am not a freak athlete!). Highly recommend.
