The widest offering in the four-ski Nightstick lineup, the 104 extends the series’ park-inspired performance into soft snow while maintaining the playful characteristics that define the collection.
The Nightstick 104 performs best when you adopt a centered, neutral stance that lets the ski’s design shine. Significant tip and tail rocker enable effortless pivoting and quick direction changes, whether you’re threading through trees or setting up for a natural feature. Under the hood, a full poplar wood core that has been strategically milled to reduce the ski’s weight complements its shape and profile perfectly. This keeps the ski feeling remarkably light and responsive, lending to a more surfy style of skiing.
This playful character comes with trade-offs on firmer snow. When pushing the speed limit on hardpack or navigating variable conditions, the Nightstick 104 lacks the solid, locked-in feel of directional skis. These limitations reflect deliberate design choices as carving groomers simply isn’t this ski’s primary mission.
The Nightstick 104 excels as a side-hit weapon, equipped with a soft flex pattern that makes buttering effortless. Park skiers seeking a wider platform for soft days will appreciate how this ski maintains its freestyle DNA in deeper powder. If your ideal day involves equal parts park laps and off-piste exploration, with plenty of natural features in between, the Nightstick 104 delivers the versatility and playfulness to paint your own unique path down the fall line.
