And that ski was a freaking battleship, and would have equalled or probably bested the 190 Bibby in terms of a sheer chop destroyer. The current 189 BG is not that ski. So, no, if supreme stability in chop at speed is what you are primarily looking for, then we would rank the 190 Bibby higher.»
This doesnt make sense, having owned 5 generations of the bg dating back to 2010 they have only gotten more dialed and better every year. The last few seasons they have gotten easier to ski while still retaining the same level of chargeability. I have not skied the asymmetrical taper version yet, but it seems to be such a small detail that it wont matter much. Am I wrong?
