After 10 resort days on the 186 Bibby Special, I've finally found the ski closest to sex. Smoothest ski I've been on that's every bit of confidence-inspiring as it gets. Have yet to find a speed limit. Have taken it in the park a bit and the stompability is definitely greater than the 190 version with the rockered tail. If you want a race-style directional ski that you can take anywhere on the mountain, the Bibby Special is it.
