Cat skiing ski choice

Going cat skiing in purgatory this weekend. Not sure if I should ride my Bibbys or Ghost chants. I’m conflicted because I trust the bibbys a ton and know they’ll hold up at speed or on a sketchy patch of snow but also the ghost chants will float like crazy and be super fun but are also super soft and not great at speed.
 
i say Bibbys. just cause even while cat skiing, it might not be all perfect dream pow, right? it's not like the bibby won't shred the ideal stuff too

im also a big fan of riding whatever im more used to. ive switched back to skinnier skis that im used to on a pow day cause i wasn't as dialed on my newer fatties

just my two cents hope it helps
 
I'd take the Bibby's for sure. If you know em and you trust em, that's the most important thing. I killed it with timing yesterday and ended up getting some killer untracked runs here in Mammoth. We've got a lot of snow and I was sort of contemplating taking something looser out like a Catamaran or an ARV 116 but I just ended up grabbing my Bibby's. I didn't regret it, I got first chair on 9 (think big steep no speed limit bowls) and even with no tracks in front of me I still hit patches of wind effect, buff, and some chunks in the runout. It's very rare that the snow is absolutely perfect, so I'll trade a little float/looseness for stability and confidence.
