Double Helix vs. Bibby Pro

Looking to upgrade my quiver this season with a go-anywhere powder ski that will basically become my everything-outside-the-park ski. I have an opportunity to get a solid deal on both the Liberty Double Helix and the Moment Bibby Pro, but I've never skied either. Thoughts?

A little about me: 5'10" 170 lbs - Aggressive as someone who only weighs 170 can be. Love Liberty as a company. The only reason I'm looking at the Bibbys is, after riding a pair of Bentchetlers last season, I think I'd like to have some tail rocker. Been riding Liberty Hazmats for the past few seasons, and I've loved how lively and playful they are. They will continue to be my park ski, but they don't do great in the deep stuff.

I'd love to hear from anyone who has ridden either of these. Can't wait for the snow.

I have never ridden the Bibbys, but I do own a pair of Dub Helix.  I like that they don't have tail rocker.  I get tons of float with the tip rocker and the wide waist.  They handle hardpack very well and are very, very fun on groomers.  they are playful when you want them to be, but super stable when you are hauling ass.  they do a good job of busting up crud and mank when the snow gets heavy.  i would definitely recommend em

Bibby goes anywhere and is a super good ski. And then in powder it slays
