Too big for moments?

I'm looking at the bibby pro and the hellbent, the bibby is $150 less. I'll be skiing Mt. Baker, which gets crazy amounts of pow, and I only have my anthems as of now...which won't do.

I'm 6'3" 190

I have a friend who has melees and another who has rubys. they are both smaller than me, and they both snapped their skis in compression.

should I save the extra dough for hellbents?

this years moments do not have the bad fiberglass problems that we had last year(hence the snapping), we were provided with the wrong fiberglass and had some issues with some of our skis, but all those issues have been resolved now that we are using top quality products and stronger fiberglass, also we have a new core that is aspen and pine, which is a lot more durable and reduces pull outs substantially

good to know. I really liked riding my friend's melees, I'm hoping the bibby is just a stiffer version.

thanks yo.
