Moment Deathwish vs. Wildcat (Bibby)

wait for next season and get the wildcat 108.

I own both those skis in 190cm, and am in Colorado. 6'4", 215#.

The Bibby is a great ski for the right conditions. In Colorado, its not a great daily I don't think. But on the right day the ski is amazing. Stability on jumps is insane. Blasting crud and skiing groomed snow (if its soft) - they're awesome. If you end up with the Bibby, don't mount behind recommended line. These skis will charge.

I ride the Deathwishes almost every day. Its a really versatile ski for Colorado. It isn't going to be quite as good in deep powder, but those days honestly are rare here. And the DW holds its own just fine in deep snow. The DW feel a lot more nimble. Recommended mount is further forward than the Bibby. It was weird because it took me a bunch of days to get the feel of the DW. I kinda didn't really dig them at first. I love them now though. They can charge (probably not quite like your Blizzards, and not like the Bibbys - but are not far behind), and are nimble enough for about any type of skiing. If you ski bumps at all, the DW are way easier then the Bibby.

I was debating between these two for ages. It might be worth considering your riding style, the deathwish sounds more balanced in reviews where the Bibby wants you to drive the tips more.

I went the DW and never second guessed it, they rail with so much grip but somehow go sideways and are super flickable. Main reason that pushed me was finding an amazing deal so that probabaly won't help you.

Never ridden the DW, but have to disagree on the Bibby wanting their tips driven. You CAN drive the tips, but its awesome ridden from a centered stance.

Good to know for my next wide ski purchase. Out of curiousity do you ever feel like the Bibby is too much ski in trees/soft bumpy terrain?

For reference, I'm 6'4 , 210 and ride the 190 Bibby.
Coming from a 15/16 Bent Chetler 192, which weighs a lot more, I do find the Bibby to be a lot easier to handle in trees while being as if not more stable. Its also lighter and easier to handle than my brothers On3p Caylors, though not as damp (Caylor is longer and heavier, so that makes sense)

Bibby’s/Wildcat pivot very easily in tight spaces in soft snow yet are very stable at speed or through crud. I’d vote for 108 or Original Wildcats.

They definitely ski better from a centered/mild tip driving stance. Super easy to pivot and way easier in bumps than my governors lol
