Anyone know how different the new Bibby will ski compared to the old one?

I e-mailed Moment two weeks ago, and they still haven't e-mailed me back.
Just wondering if anyone knows.

they get progressively stiffer. i have the first years and they are awesome, basically a slightly stiffer, slightly narrower, and thus more versatile hellbent. i find them to be pretty much killer everwhere. float well, can push through some crud, still pretty stable at speed, and even do surprisingly well on groomers considering the dimensions. (mounted at 3 back from center btw, thats the recommended line)
this years are a bit stiffer in the 186, and a good bit stiffer in the 190. 186 is still ideal for pow jibbing, 190 is better for gnarlier lines and whatnot.
from what i understand next years will all be about like this years 190, but i havent ridden them. hope that helps.

I've never ridden a fat ski before April 18th of this year and I've been skiing late season ABay on my friends 186 Bibby's. They are sooooooo much fun and they go EVERYWHERE. I rode the East Wall, I rode in flatter Summit County powder and tracked out crud runs at the end of that powder day. I even rode them on a super slushy day. I really like the flat camber on this ski, but since they are adding a little camber to all of them I was wondering how it will be. Not as playful? Not as light? Will the camber change the ski totally?

the camber will only make them better on groomers and make them a little bit popier

New one will be lighter since Moment is using some carbon in their next years line.
All times are Eastern (-5)
