Bibby's vs. YLE's?

I am looking to switch to something new from my Scott P4's. I am about 5'10"/170 lbs. I live in Michigan (I know not a skiers mecca) but have been skiing out West more than in Michigan. I don't do alot of spinning, like to ride switch from time to time, I want a ski that can handle it all for when I head out west, groomers, drops, powder, etc. I was sold on the Bibby's until I found the YLE's, any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

I haven't ridden these skis, but I used to have the P4 and I have two pairs of the Bibby. in my opinion if you don't spin a lot and you only ski switch occasionally, there's not much reason to buy a 100% symmetrical, center mount ski. The Bibby is sick, probably one of the best all-around pow/big mountain skis out there, and it's made by hand in the USA in Moment's own factory. If you want to ride it switch, mount it +1 or +2 from recommended and you'll be set.

I think that the fact that this was powder mags number 1 pick for an all mountain ski says something pretty awesome about what this ski is capable of... super fun. do it.
