I know, there is a gotama vs. prophet thread just below, but I've been searching, and still can't find the answer to these two questions:
Which one is stiffer? Which one is lighter? I've been skiing on mothership titaniums for the past few seasons and love them. The prophet 100 has more sidecut though, so i am a little weary of it.
I weigh under a 160, so i don't need a super stiff ski.
I have not been on the 07/08 goat's yet, but I have 06/07 goats and 06/07 prophet 90's. The prophets are stiffer.
Weight, not sure, seem comparable.
The prophets have taken abuse better than the goats, but I live in the Rockies so they will both get trashed.
From my highly subjective in-store fondling of each ski, I'd say that the Gotamas are a hair stiffer, and the Prophet 100s a little lighter. In terms of reputation, I think the Gots are a damper ski, and the Prophet 100s and little more active. The 100s definitely ski short, so I'd go longer.
I moved from the titanium MoShips to last years Prophet 100's. I never believed I would find a ski more fun the the mothers...and the Prophets are it. Do gotta say not as bombproof - many tail and tip chips from locker abuse and gapers.
Samster,
I just ordered my P90s today. If your nice you can flex them when they come. I checked out a pair the other day and I was impressed with how much burlier they felt than I expected.
I had a couple pairs of 183 Gots (05/06 and 06/07) and then last year's 179 Prophet 100's in my house over the summer. From picking them all up, unmounted, I think the Prophet's are definitely lighter- and they felt slightly stiffer as well.
thanks for the help. I think I'm going with the prophet.
