so i found a pair of used 188 08/09 moment bibby skis with Look PX 12 bindings and was wondering if these are good skis for me. i am 6'2'' 200 and will use these as my powder only skis. i ski in the tahoe area and spend most of my time in the trees. i currently have armada ar6's and like them a lot.

i searched around google and it seems they are on the softer side so i am worried they will be too soft for me. i like to jib around but sometimes charge through crud. i have never skied on anything other than my ar6's and some old rossignol bandits so i do not have much to compare to.

oh and i read somewhere that the skis get much softer the more you ride them. i expect this from skis but was wondering if some one has experience with these skis and can tell me if they get a lot softer over time.

thanks

The 08-09 model is (considerably) softer than the later models, but I wouldn't know exactly how much softer. I just know it's really nice ski, nimble and fun. How much could you pick them up for?

i was planning on demoing some powder skis for tomorrow from my local shop but i thought i might as well spend some more money and get my own pair considering a demo is $60 a day

I have them, they are a sick ski I am you height but a fair bit lighter. They are kinda like a more verstatile hellbent/ep pro bc jib ski. They are soft in the tips and the tails but stiffer underfoot, you can charge ok on them, just gotta stay centred but theres enough tail there to keep you bouncing back.

There pretty good on everything around the rest of the mountain.
Obviously they are sick in pow and they get easier to ski the more snow there is but they are surprisingly a good at all mountain, if its crazy hardpack/ice then there are other skis out there for that but for the rest of the time they work really well. Super playfull and surfy, I tried some of next years pow skis JJs,Rocker2,S7 and went back to my bibbys at the end of the day and was not disappointed.

For the money that is a nice ski, if you have loads to spend look at moments newer skis, I cant recommend the brand enough the skis are bombproof.
