I am 6'4" 190lbs. and was wondering if i should get the bibby in 190cm or 196cm. It would be used for all over the mountain but mainly backcountry.

I have the 190s and about your weight and height, but I just got them and haven't used them yet (still rock skiing here). Remember the 190 and 196 are totally different skis. Id say the 190 is an all-rounder, and good for jibbing with. Meanwhile the 196 has no camber and a much wider shovel. The 196 is also more pintailed, and the tail itself doesn't have as much rise as the 190. I suspect the 196 will feel more directional (ie: better with tips always pointed downhill). I would choose the 196 if life was all big AK lines. But that's not how I always get to ski. So: 190 bibby pro for me. (Unless, of course, you can afford a big quiver)

If you're more into big lines and not concerned about weight, then I'd get the 196. If you're more of a tree or tight line skiier or concerned about weight, then I'd hit up the 190. Personally, if I were your size, I'd go with the 190.
