So I want a new pair of skis and these are the two I can't decide betweenI like to ski pow and all mountain and already have some park skis that i use

So I was wondering about the differences between them. I mean how they ski hardpack, moguls, Pow, tricks, weight, stiffness, EVERYTHING!.

I am fifteen years old about 125 pounds and 5'6 also I do alot skiing/other sports so I am pretty athletic if that is an issue.
 
I dont know a whole lot about them but i heard that night trains are more jibby/playful than the bibbys so if you like spinning off stuff and jibbing in the pow go with night trains if you like going really fast and charging i would go with the bibby
 
Op where are you skiing? Cause if your spending most your time at Hylands Hills in MN, maybe consider holding off til you move out west.

Good choice in skis but Are you gonna really be needing Bibbys in MN?

Or do you go out west some much that you need personal powder skis? Just a observational question from your sig.
 
Moment skis are sick, and you can't go wrong either way. It just all depends on WHERE and HOW you ski...These are both pretty fat, powder specific skis, but they both will ski groomers decently if they have to. For their sizes, they actually do well on hardpack, but not as well as thinner skis...obviously.

The Bibby Pros are going to be a more versatile ski, as they're a bit thinner and stiffer. They handle hardpack much better than the Night Train, due to the added camber underfoot. The Bibby is not going to give up too much pop and play, but they are less playful then the Night Train. The bibby is a hard charging ski, that you can still Jib around on without any problems. Bibby Pro would make a better all mountain ski.

The night train is flat underfoot, so it's similar to a full reverse camber ski (full rocker). There is no camber underfoot, and its specifically designed for soft snow booter sessions. It's definitely what you call a jib ski, and it's going be the best ski for you if you intend to be spinning of backcountry booters and/or surfing deep, fresh snow. They're less grippy than the Bibby and wouldn't make as well of an all mountain ski.

I cannot tell you which ski is truly better for moguls, but I would go with the Bibby Pro is you intend to be using the skis for a variety of conditions and terrain.

If you're not going to be skiing a lot of powder, you may want to check out the Moment PB&J. It's basically a thinner Bibby Pro, built for all mountain, and can handle a variety of conditions better than Either the Bibby or Night Train.

 
I personally haven't had a chance to ski either ski. However Blister have done a really comprehensive review of both skis, as well as a comparison between the two. Find below all the different Bibby and Night Train reviews from Blister.

Well i DO ski at hyland but we go out west twice a year which is about 2 weeks worth of skiing a year and I found some bibbys and night trains pretty cheap, also I am trying to get at least three years out of the ski but i just whated a ski so when we do go out west I can just use becuase my park skis are terrible out there
 
12 days of skiing to justify buying pow skis? Hard sell. Espically when your at a young age when you could grow out of the skis at any time. When your growing make no plans.

Just my two cents.

Don't get me wrong. I love my pow skis on a good powder day at Highlands. But when you only ski 12 days a year and MIGHT have powder, it seems like it might be more cost efficient to rent and try different skis at that young of a age. You get a better feel of what you like in a ski.

I have Ar7s and they work great in anything less than 6 inches of powder. Anything more and my BGs are out.

To be honest you don't need anything more than 110 underfoot to ski 2 feet of fresh (unless your in northwest wet snow). CO, UT, MT, ID, WY you can get by with smaller underfoot cause the snows so dry and light.

My point to OP: You could have a nice pair of Pow skis for trips out west. But you could have awesome park ski and a awesome all mnt ski that you could use both back in MN, and then rent for super deep pow days out west.

Not trying to stop you from a good deal but just food for thought.

And between the two skis you picked, the NT is a deep pow jib ski and the Bibby is steep pow eating chop machine. Hope that helps.
 
If you get night trains, rock those in the park too. It's a pretty versatile ski, and fat skis in the park are way fun. I would go for it if it's a complete steal.
 
Well ya that is my problem it is hard to justify getting pow skis for only 12 days of skiing 50Kal, but they are $300 with bindings for both the biibys and the night trains which is a great deal. If they where normal price i would still ski out west in my park skis
 
Sorry to bump an old thread, but I am looking at both these skis. I'm looking to narrow my quiver down to one ski (well two but my lizzies are a specialty fun ski). Basically sticking to 360's, backflips, and 2's out now that I've destroyed my knee again. I have skied my one lifes in the park but they are clunky as anything (which is expected). I'm eyeing the shorter sizes because of the turn raidus, and I can get left overs for a decent price. Any advice? I love the stiffness of my one lifes, love the playfulness of my lizzies but they sacrifice everything when it comes to crud.
 
I skied in Whistler with a guy on bibbys and he charged so hard. He absolutely ripped down moguls, slayed in park. He was faster than me on groomers and he used to launch side hits on traverses. I've never witnessed anyone pop off a tiny little hit and get that much air. He swears by them, if I didn't have caylors I would probably getting them as my all mountain
