Torn between the two skis. Thoughts, opinions, etc on both? Looking for a narrower ski this winter. Considering the Meridian too, but full rocker is scaring me off. I ski fast and im 6'2" 190lbs. Mostly ski outside the park, currently on ak jj's

can't go wrong with either id imagine. I have a pair of bibbys that are bomb proof and a ton of fun, seriously considered getting Pb&j as my everyday driver but got the kartel 98 at a killer price. If i were you id probably choose based on what you can get for a better deal in the right size, either will be a blast.

Listen to the dude above. Both skis are a blast, and you cant pick wrong. ID say go with whatever is cheapest, or easier to get. Ive had the Vice (Same profile as the PB&J, just slimmer) and they are fun as hell. Best ski I've ever ridden, and I can hear that from both companies.

You'll love em. They rip and the rocker profile still makes them a blast
