I have been looking to invest in a new pair of wider skis for sidecountry touring in the pacific northwest. I will most likely be in the resort most of the time but I would like to venture into the sidecountry of my home resort at times and tour a little bit, I have been looking at Moment's Bibby tours and was wondering if anyone has used them and how they are on resort, in the backcountry, touring, etc... Any other suggestions for a wider ski,(115-125mm) that will be able to take big drops in and out of the resort, and be able to tour back up? thanks.

I live in the PNW also I just got into touring last year and bought the bibby pros paired with guardians and I love them. They are a really light ski that can punch through the heavy snow we have up here. I only went touring a few times around Stevens Pass and didn't ever really use them. I'm selling my settup ski/binding/skins for a discounted price and everything is lightly used. I really did like this ski it was a little stiff for my preference I'm looking into a jibbier ski.

I've ridden bibby pros since 2012 and am looking to buy another pair for this season... but maybe I'm getting old an should just get these instead so the wilson grandmas aren't lapping me uphill on pass laps
