    Line Prophet Review

    I finally got to ski today after moving into our new home and it was great. I rode the prophet on mostly soft groomers and cut up snow at snowbird and I was realy impresed you can put this ski on edge but it takes a wider stance and you realy have to put both feet into it. You have to be on these skis at all times if not they will do what they want and stay locked in the turn unless you push them. I think this ski will be more versitly than expected I was realy supriesed at how good it was I know it will not be fun on ice but that not what they are for. After ridding the prophets I switched my friend for a run rode his scratch bc and they seemed like a carving ski compared to the prophets. This ski is by far better on the groomed then the Liberty C note which was the worst ski I have ridden on the groomed. I will update this report as I get to ski it in other conditions but let it snow. (Prophets mounted at recomended line with Solly s900 9-16.
    If ski companies didn't make new skis every year I wouldn't have to get new skis every year.

    Pulled the trigger on a pair 8 weeks ago, still 4 weeks until I get them on the snow.

    Good to hear you liked them. Looking forward to some more feedback. Let it snow.

    Glad you liked the FY. Enjoy!
    I've got more suits than Liberace, but less than Eastvailhucker.

    updated heavy powder and windpack.

    This ski was incredible in the pow it floted like nothing I have ridden. It was more fun than my rossi axioms which were my favorite pow skis untill these. They are more managable in the pow than I would have guessed this ski will make long and short turns whith out any problems they were great. They smered nicely and were better on the Cirque traverse at snowbird than I expected. The floating sensation was incredible and those tips did not want to dive at all, great ski in the soft stuff. The bottom of the mountain they were not as good as the axioms due to a softer flex then the axioms they got kicked around a bit in the strange conditons at the bottom. Over all this ski is great and I can't wait to ride it in lighter snow.
    If ski companies didn't make new skis every year I wouldn't have to get new skis every year.

    had that happen to me this year. Nothing like God telling you explicitly that you made the right choice.
