I'll be skiing everything pretty much - Revelstoke
6ft 80kg/180lbs
aggressive intermediate, but still like to fuck around.

I wasn't sure if I should go for a straight pow ski or an all rounder, as I all ready have a pair of Fatypus m5's.

Holy shit, this is all I get suggested

Only problem is it is expensive, is it really worth the moneys?

If you already have the M5, I'd look at something in the 110-120mm range. Bibby / Wildcat sounds pretty ideal (as others have stated), but for some more options, it might be worth checking out the "Powder Skis // More Playful" and "All-Mountain Freestyle" sections in the Blister Buyer's Guide.

If I had the cash I would have hellbents for pow days
Wildcats for everyday

fuck that'd be good. But I only have enough money to jam one more ski......
Idk just buy a strict pow ski....

Trust the wildcat/bibby reviews. They are the best.

Bibby's are a great ski for sure, but if you are looking for another option that falls into that 100-120 category checkout the Inthayne we make. Coming in at 117mm underfoot, with a ~23m turn radius and a fully rockered shape Thayne designed the ski to charge the whole mountain and let you bring your playful and creative skiing to that deep powder! Stiff enough to land big airs, but soft enough that you can throw some butters and smear all over the hill. Now that are sales are factory direct the skis are also a great value at $599. Send us an email at info@4frnt.com or come over to the website for a chat. Our customer service crew would be happy to help you find the right ski!

You should go with a 120+ underfoot ski if you are happy with your M5's.

6ft 150lb would say 190 to me but you said aggressive intermediate so 184 would be great for a while as well. Call up the factory they will have good insight as well.

I think either should be good, I was gonna go 184...
the graphics on this years are so damned sick. Better than all these minimalist colorways I have seen going on lately

I think I am going to pull the trigger on the 190’s since I am 6’3 195lbs. But I am only a intermediate skier, will these be too much ski for me?

Also is it still worth getting the bibbys if you don’t need a 1 ski quiver? I already have the bent chetler with shifts for touring and powder days.

Would a different ski compliment the bent chetler any better?
