Trigger just pulled on some 190 Wildcat 108’s. I’ve been riding nothing but ON3P for the last several years (5 pairs), but have always paid attention here too. There’s just something about this ski though, that speaks to me. Hopes are high, we shall see.
Branching out out in the quiver since my DD spot is open. Deep snow is more than covered. For now.

NewC - i'm your height and weight and ski the 190 in the heavier, older version (2012 i think?). Will buy another. If you wanna charge on it go 190, if you wanna play on em go 184. Only chiming in cus a few years ago I though I had to ask and the 190 was the size for me

Yeah, I realize you always measured skis by base material flat, and actual ski length was a bit shorter due to rockers. That's why I asked, because blister usually measures length from tip to tail and this time they said it's 183.4 at 184 size, while, for example, my wildcats 108 tour are 180.5 at 184 size. So I guess this time Cy just measured them differently and from your side you haven't changed anything regarding length, right?

sruffian - appreciate the assistance!
After crunching the numbers, this morning: my height is 180.5cm (weight, as of this morning, 182lbs); the 184 Wildcat is 181.6cm (tip to tail); the 190 Wildcat is 187.7cm (tip to tail). (Of course, I understand there are other relevant numbers out there).
I tested the Nordica Enforcer Free, which comes in at 184.5cm (tip to tail), which I did not find unwieldy.
Really, it all boils down to preference - and I hate making a call on that basis!

^ what SRUFFIAN said!
I am 5'10" 180 and I had a blast on the 184 in all conditions. Dead easy and fun to ski, though every once in a while in deep pow I'd tip dive some. Decided to switch to the 190 to charge steeper and deeper lines, which it definitely does. I feel that you need to be on your game bit more with the 190 (no lazy back seat which you can get away with on the 184). I feel that it would not be insane to have both the 184 and the 190 in the quiver and I'd consider that if I did not also love the 184 Deathwish.

As feedback I wouldn’t be as quick to recommend the 184. I picked up a 184 year ago and it is a good ski but I wished I had gotten the 190.

Tip dive is gonna depend on a lot more than just the length of the ski. I don’t get tip dive on the 184 and I’m 6’2” / 175#. But I’m skiing usually light CO snow and am not a former racer always out over my tips.
The 184 is certainly more playful . The 190 isn’t just longer —it’s a bigger ski all around.

I know your question wasn't directed at me, but for reference I am 6' 170lbs. I have skied the 184 Bibby in 12 - 14" of light powder with no issues. I think that length would be the right call for you unless you are just charging open terrain all the time or lots of really deep powder.

5’ 8’’ 200 lbs. Not taller but heavier. I think the biggest problem for me was I was coming from a ski w -11 mount and used to staying forward more. It is a good ski and super quick in moguls. It floated well for me in about a foot of snow but when it was 18 or deeper I ran into trouble.

Just when I thought I was done buying skis for while, then they do something genius like this. Praise be to Moment, so stoked to see it being made it in this length for big people! Because i think Carston Oliver is like 5'9" or something.
FYI my Ghost Train 194s are now for sale.
