i have been looking into some new pow skis
ive been looking at the libtech NAS pow recurvewhich i don't really know anything about except what backcountry.com says about themso some info on them would be sick +Karma
i have also been looking into the bibby pro which i have heard a lot about but never talked to anyone personally about them.
and the last ski i have been looking at is the atomic thugbut not sure size though 182 or 192i have 6 foot 2 and 170 poundz i would be using the ski for just about everyday i go into the mountains (which is every weekend)and lots of BC jumps etc. and some charging
ohh and how would these skis compare to hellbents (i used them for everything except park)
i am replacing my hellbents with one of these skis but just don't know what one because i don't know too much about the first ski i mentioned and don't know how the bibbys would handle as an everyday ski
the hellbents are for sale as well if anyone is interested?
thanks for reading

 
one thing that would help people to help, is to know what you liked/ didn't like about hellbents?
 
I know that the NAS Pow Recurves are really stiff. They are definitely more of a charging ski than anything. I'm sure that you know about magne-traction and stuff, if not, you can pm me or check out the website.

i don't really know too much about the bibby, but i do know they are rockered and probably really sick for big mountain/pow. not sure about all-mountain performance though

Lastly, the thugs. i'm also not too sure about these, but i would recommend you get the 182 unless you plan on growing a lot.

just curious, but why aren't you keeping the bents?
 
^^ i liked how they were so soft and fun to dick around onand performance in pow i hated how you could not charge at allwith out looping out or getting sketchy crud was pretty scary
^ i am getting rid of them because i want to try i different ski and my i need a higher din binding for the stuff im starting to do, just releasing in spots where they should release and don't want them to. And I can't mount new ones cus there are too many holes already, but can be used still if someone has the same boot size or similar so you can jsut adjust the bindings to fit.and there is a lot of crud and stuff to charge at my hilli could probably get away with 189 Hellbents but my 179's are super fucking heavy so i don'teven want to imagine how heavy 189s are
 
well if you're used to the hellbents' rocker in pow and whatnot then take into account that the thugs arn't rockered. Bibbys are rockered and I've only heard good things about them. You might also want to consider JJs as well
 
rocker + good all mountain performance + semi similar to hellbents = bibbys. you wont be dissapointed.
 
the thugs seem so sick, never ridden them tho. my buddy did and said they were super sick. you should totally scope them in a 190 or what ever tho, i have the JJ's from last year and they measure out at 191 and im only 5'9" and i wouldnt want anything shorter. what sole lenght are your bents mounted too, not that it matters cuz they're deff bigger than what i got, but anyway will you sell just the skis? and what are u lookin for?
 
i ended up getting the thugsbecause i got them for a really good price!and i wanted to try something differentand if i really don't like them ill probably get next years bibbysor get them at the end of the season
