I've been reading that there will be a Bibby Pro Special Edition in both 186 and 196. On the Moment site, there are lengths listed as such. So two part; will these be sold at backcountry.com and what are the differences on the Special Editions? The Moment site lists tip/tail rocker profiles, so I'm a bit confused ...

Kyle, thanks for the info. In some serious interwebbing, I found the same. The ski will look the same but be called the Bibby Special. It will feature a bigger shovel at 150 and a narrower tail at 120, I think? Also, it will have less tail rocker in what MOMENT calls their mini-twin. It will also be sold in a 186, in addition to the 196 you mention. Blister Gear did a review of it and it's what you say; a huge AK line sort of ski and less versatile than the Bibby Pro.

I've seen that as well. I know there is a 196cm model, that has a wider front end, and somewhat "pin-tailed" rear. The 196 is designed for big line skiing on huge Alaskan style faces. The tail is slimmer, and flatter than the ordinary bibby pro, giving more ease of slicing through fresh snow. Similar to the K2 Pontoon. Like I say, I've seen the 196 before, but never the 186. No idea if BC will be selling these.
