hey bois,

need some help Im really torn for choosing skis I like stable ski thats gonna have my back but Being poppy and fun is really important because I like to jump everything I can find including cliffs, Im not throwing any tricks (except shifties mid pillow line) or throwing any butters. I ski steeps, meadows I LOVE trees, chutes I ski al ot of peak chair on whistler. But I'm only 5,8 140lbs so I don't want a ski so stiff its gonna kick my ass and be a dead plank of wood. To some it up I need a ski that can charge hard but Have fun while doing it. I have been looking at skis like the supernatural 108, J skis the metal, ON3P Kartel 108 (will that be too soft?), ON3P Wren 108, sego big horn 106 or the Moment bibbys (too fat?) and any other suggestions you have. its manly between The Metals vs SN108 vs Bibbys vs nomad 105s

thanks guys

Bibbys for sure. They will charge harder than anything on your list except the Wrenegades but will be more playful. Great float and very maneuverable in the trees. They are great in chop too. Don't let the waist width deter you, they still rip groomers better than anything in its class (fat tail rockered skis). I daily drove Bibbys for most of last year in Colorado and they are the shit.

Just read the blister reviews of the Bibby they describe it better than I can.

Arn't bibbys too wide for a daily driver for whistler? Are they hard to get on a edge down steeps

I was daily driving them at A basin. Whistler gets way more snow so they would be even better. No issues getting an edge on steeps unless they were iced over and in that case anything will have trouble getting an edge.
