Now, if you know anything about skis, then you might have been quite surprised to see me pottering down the blues with my son with giant spoons on my feet. However… I just love the Bibby! It’s absolutely solid in cut up, and really playful in the deep, it has a really nice surfy feel if you hit it right.The Salomon is also a great ski and because the tail isn’t rockered in the same way as the Bibby then I feel it can suffer more mistakes before it slaps you down.īoth are terrific - I really like the Salomon, but the heart won and the Bibbys were packed. I love both of these skis, but on piste just feel the Salomon has the edge, and seeing that’s what I’d largely be skiing that would be the sensible choice. Yes they would probably be the best choice, but I sacked that off and drilled the decision down to a pair of Salomon 115 Rocker 2s or Moment Bibby Pros, 1 cm wider. A more sensible choice was the Salomon Q105s in a 181 that I’d had sitting around for a year after half a day’s use. A pair of Factory Volkl GS, again not too easy to skid or snow plough. Unfortunately I had neither of these but have got factory Atomic slaloms – good for short turns, but not exactly easy to skid.
Logically a decent piste ski with a bit of performance off piste was the appropriate choice such as a Volkl RTM 84 or Scott’ Black Majic.
I was taking my son out on a family holiday and although I would be skiing (slowly) with him most of the day, I would get a couple of hours to myself. I recently had a tough time going through my quiver of skis deciding which single pair I should take on a trip.
