190cm Bibby Vs. everything else

I ridden a pair of moment bibbys for the past winter when there was any kind of good snow. Reason of looking for something else is that I think they are a bit too stiff/burly for my liking. I also have a pair of ON3P kartel 98 in a 186 that I ride every other day and love them, I like how soft they are and they are a bit lighter. I've been looking into the Nordica patron but they are not bringing it back for 18/19. So if you have any other skis that are in the same category that I should look into that would be awesome.
Thanks

If you like how it skis why not? I have the Bibby Pro and I'm gonna buy PB&Js this fall which is basically just like having a Kartel 98 and 116.

Valid point my man. Might have to look into that once they have the 2018 up online.

Definitely look into the Kartel 116

A Nordica Patron could work, as well as a Blizzard Gunsmoke. Also maybe a Praxis MVP.

Yeah, K116 or the 184 Bibby, or even a Deathwish all strike me as fine ideas.

Maybe, the 185 ARV 116 is significantly less ski than the 184 Bibby though...

I'm 6 foot at 190 pounds, just feel like the 190 bibby is a lot of ski for me at this point so probably down size if its an option. I almost went with ARV 96 over the ON3P's that I got. Deffently will look into the ARV 116 when it comes out. Thanks!
