So I can't decide between these two skis.

I will have a pair of the Bibby pros for pow and fun with rocker in the park, but I need another ski for the more common hard pack and groomers days (living on the EC).

I'm 6'1" about 180lbs and prefer a long ski (rode a 181 rossi ghetto last season). I'm leaning more toward the tahoe because its a little fatter, a little more of a badass shredder (skiing fast and tearin up the mountain is more my thing) but I also love to shred park and want to take my 5s and 7s cork this season so how heavy is the tahoe? anyone whos skiied it is it a fairly balanced ski swing wise? any and all thoughts appreciated, and don't suggest other skis please, unless their from moment.
 
reno rocker? 92 underfoot so its fatter then the jibs but not as wide as tahoes, the rocker will be sick for butters and presses, and it has a dinosaur on it what could be better?
 
if you have the bibbys then id reccomend the jibs because they will still destroy allmountain because they are stiff and still pretty wide for a park ski. you dont neccesarily need a ski to be super fat for all mountain and park. although it can help. i dont know if any of that made sense so if it didnt then sorry.

I still reccomend the jibs though because they are amazing in the park and pretty good all mountain, I have only ridden them once all mountain and they did a billion times better than my invaders, although thats not saying much because invaders are horrible on steeps.
 
188 Tahoe weighs 8.25 pounds.

I skied them last year from May through July and when there wasn't much new snow. I feel that it's a soild all-around ski for non-powder days. It could be slightly stiffer throughout, but I think the flex is spot on for most skiers. It handles groomers very well but you might get tossed around a bit in choppy/post-pow conditions. There's about 2-3cm of camber and they have quite a bit of pop in them.

My primary use for the Tahoe is as a spring backcountry ski for peakgrabbing purposes.

The effective edge of the 188 is 154cm which is similar to the skis below:

190cm 4frnt EHP

192cm Armada JP v J

193cm Atomic Thug

188cm Dynastar Big Trouble

185cm Rossignol Scratch BC
