Im about 5'9, 135, looking for a pow ski, mostly skis natural terrain, some park but i have another pair of skis fpr that and im looking for a ski that will destroy powder and still hold up on groomers. Any ideas?

Well the Komikazi will definitely destroy powder, but if you want a ski that can do groomers to go with the Josh Bibby pro or something. If your looking for more of an all mountain ski I really liked the nightranes when I demo'd the moments. But hell talk to some of the guys, send them an email, they will help you out.

I'm the same size as you and I ride the 186 Bibby, it works super!

Because the bibby has rocker it doesn't feel too long and it works really good in pow and groomers.

Another vote for the Bibby 186.

The Ruby 180 will be better on groomers, but the Bibby will no doubt destroy the powder while still performing good enough on the firm stuff.

Well I remember the nightraine being a little bit quicker. It still felt very very solid though. I don't exactly remember that well and it's a little hard to explain. but it was one of my favorites. Definitely pm / or email one of the moment guys and they will definitely help you out. You can't really go wrong with any of the moment skis.

the night trains are like a cross between jjs and hellbents

super sick ski for sure

they are really, really dope in powder and are still fine on groomers.

Definitely the 181. Night trains are rockered so they will ski shorter
