Line Prophet 100 Mounting

[philipw]

thanks! does it ski a bit shorter because of the twin tip? am I right in thinking the 186 would float more in powder and blast through crud easier?

I am considering buying a pair of prophet 100s for my everyday ski. I live in washington and like to ski steep bowls, chutes and trees. I ski powder when I can, but more often have to settle for heavy snow and chopped up crud. also end up skiing groomers and bumps back to the chair or when it hasn't snowed in awhile.

I recently demo'ed a pair of salomon 1080 guns on a huge powder day and absolutely loved them. specifically the float and their ability to rip tight turns in the trees and chutes. I would consider getting a pair, but since powder days in washington are rare, thought I should search for a more versatile ski

I am 5-10" and 165 lbs. I was also wondering about length, any thoughts between the 186 and 179?

I'd recommend the 186. It'd probably be about perfect for you and your needs. I'm 6'1", ~190 lbs., and I think a ~190cm (if they made one) would be about perfect for me. That said, I love my Prophets. I couldn't imagine a better all-around ski.

Just picked up a pair of prophet 100s 186. Wondering about the mounting points people have been using this year. I've searched the form and it sounds like on the midsole line is popular. Was thinking about going alittle in front of that like +1 or 2. Anyone using this point? I'm about 5'9 180lbs. Also what are you guys using for a binding...thanks in advance.

Hey, raccoondog - come by the shop and talk at me.
I might have some 179 blems for you, since you liked that pair last year so much.
might even be able to show you where to mount them.

I am taller than you and ski the 186s but find they ski short. I don't think you'd have any issue with the additional lenth given they are a twin tip. I do love this ski as an every day ski.

[toiletduck]

fwiw, I ski 186 prophet 90s at -1.5 and love them (195lbs/6'3). Tail looked massive at recommended...

[muchocacao]

which bit size you drill prophets with? 3.5x9 or 4.1x9?

[Ted Striker]

4.1 ​​​​​​​​​​​​

[other1]

I mounted at the line, they ski great as a one ski quiver do all. Mounted with last years STH 16.

[muchocacao]

thanks.
btw, what's up with the old rule of thumb, like when you used 3.5 unless there was titanal plate in the ski?

[Ted Striker]

Yeah, 3.5 or 3.6 for non-metal skis, and 4.1 for skis with metal.

I use 3.5 and 4.0 because that's what the local hardware store had on hand. I tap skis with a metal layer too.
