Hi, I ski in the french alps, reckon id be an adavnced level having done a season and am looking for a more stable, wider version of my faction CT 2.0s (2015) that will be for powder days. I like charging and so want a stable ski but want to be able to play with it in the powder and drop some cliffs etc. So far I have shortlisted 4 skis which I cant choose between, especially with combinations of lengths! On3p kartel 116, moment bibby pro, liberty origin 116, kye 120s. Im 6ft 1 and weigh around 75/80kg. Just worried about it being too heavy and long to play around with as still want to do some tree skiing and some tricks! Thanks, any help would be greatly

Based on your shortlist, I'd go with the Bibby's. I say that having only skied them and the Kartel's but they're definitely a very stable "chargy" ski (I think Blister calls them "playful chargers" which fits your wants to a t).

Do you reckon with 189s theyd still be playful? My ct 2.0s are 184. When you skied them did you find them heavy, and slow to turn at all? Thats my only worry really. Cheers

Which size Bibby are you looking at? I'd say the 184's or the 186 Kartel 116 are right up your alley.

Cydwhit yeh thats one of the things im not sure about, should i get bibby 184s or 189s, kartels length are right in between. Will 189s still be playful enough or are too heavy and chargy for my build? Cheers

I mean, the Bibby doesn't come in a 189, it comes in a 191... I haven't been on the 191 but from what I've heard it's a LOT more ski than the 184, whereas I've skied the 184 Bibby and 186 Kartel back to back on the same runs on the same day and found that they are really really similar.
