Whats up guys, looking to get a new pair of skis. I have been riding a 97 width and they are not wide enough. I ski rather aggressively (drops, chutes, etc) and am looking for an appropriate ski. Looking to have it for the variable conditions Tahoe has and also powder. Im 6'3 and weigh 170. Also hopefully won't break the budget (discount or cheaper?). Kinda looking at the Moment Bibby...but that is all so far. Thanks

Bibbys are the shit. Read the blister reviews, they'll convince you fully.

I have read it haha. My question is are they good for the days where it hasn't snowed a day or two before?

They were my only pair of skis for most of last season in colorado. They still rip groomers, they do great on ice for a 116 waist ski, my only complaint with them as a daily driver is they are a bit tricky in big hard bumps but I'm also not the best mogul skier.

Hmm at 6'3ish and 170 lbs do you think the 190cm would be too long since it is such a wide ski? This is really my first time choosing a good ski for me. I would almost lean towards it not being too long...but if I ski trees every now and then would the 190 still be appropriate?

I'm 5'10 185 and I ski the 184s, I could probably ski the 190s but the 184s are plenty of ski for me. At your height the 190s would be perfect and I wouldn't consider the 184s.

The arv 106s are the exact opposite of what I would recommend for you if you want to drop cliffs and ski variable conditions, its basically a super soft super wide park ski. Complete opposite of the Bibby.
