Prophets 130

[Huck_Schmuck]

I've searched the forums for reviews on 130 Prophets but not found much help.

I've been offered some cheap 130s and can't make up my mind. Being a broke arse ski bum I can't afford a big quiver. Current skis are Explosive 190s & Solly 1080 180s. The Explosives are delaming and won't last the season the way I ski, and the Sollys, whatever. I was looking at DB Surreals (195/27lbs) but with recent events & not being able to wait until Febuary I've started looking around...

I'm 6'1" only 180lbs but ski hard. I like a stiff ski and I like it fat. I live in Verbier, Switzerland so the conditions vary. There are days where I'll be forced to ski groomers but I quite like the idea of still using the 130s whatever the conditions.

How soft is the 130 compared to other skis?
Anybody actually done a proper review? Or want to give one...
Should I hold out and get ANTS or possibly Squads?

nice for the soft, but will take a lot of work to make happy on hard.

188 stiff Bros?

prophets are not stiff. at all. like pocket rocket soft. they are really for taking off/landing switch in pow.
if you want a twin, look for ANT's, big daddies (not really a twin, but sorta)
if you want no twin, find some atomic powder cruise, powder plus, helistars, (ie. find mntlions posts) monsters, blizzard titan pros

look at capital (canadian) and birdos (swiss) for custom style.

birdos look really cool, are FAT, and are where you live. they go for 1300 swiss... don;t know if that is a good deal or not, but they are nice.
