Line Prophet 90 Ski

If powder days are a rarity in your region, the Line Prophet 90 will console you. This all-mountain ripper’s 90mm waist used to be considered fat, but now it’s an Eastern skier’s supermodel-dreamboat-turned-hippie-chick-next-door. Take it anywhere on the mountain: groomers, crud, bumps, trees, and even off the backside for a hidden stash of knee-deep fluff after a storm cycle—the Prophet 90’s light weight, mid-radius progressive sidecut, and snappy but stable metal-over-wood laminate core put the hurt on the entire resort and beyond.

  • Metal Matrix laminate amplifies torsional stiffness without adding weight
  • Maple Macroblock core provides chatter-free power
  • Fatty Base & Edge 4D Fibercap construction takes a beating on the hill and on the tuning table

Bottom Line: All-mountain mystic.

I ride the chronic 166 and I am now exploring a lot of the back

I ride the chronic 166 and I am now exploring a lot of the back country in the north east and was wondering how big I should go with the prophet 90 or 100 as a touring ski.

For touring I would definitely go with the 90 cm width. Weight is an issue and these skis are already on the chubby side of things. Although 100 cm waists will certainly float better, an extra couple pounds for miles adds up pretty quick. I myself have a pair of BD Kilowatts with Marker Baron bindings which runs around 10 pounds

Length question: Do these ski short or long. I am 5'11"

Length question: Do these ski short or long. I am 5'11" and 185. Can I go with the 179 or do I need the 186. I will take them all over the mountain. Also how about pairing these with the marker Griffons?

I disagree with Shane. I feel that you should absolutely get the 186 for this ski. Line's ski short because of the twin-tip, and they also have a VERY short turn radius (look around the site and compare the 19.5m radius with other skis). Ski length is a function of WEIGHT and height, at 185lbs you should definitely be on the 186 in the Prophet 90. Going longer will also force you to ski a little faster to get the most out of the ski, which in turn will improve your technique.

I always like the longest length I can manage, but I am also bigger then you. The ski rides a little short due to the twin tips, but the big question is what you are used to. If you ski a 179 already, and are really confident but overpower them sometimes, go up. If not, the 179 will definitely be alright for you.

Great all around ski

I have dynafits on these in a 179 and they are the perfect touring ski for me. The metal is worth the extra weight keeping bindings attached to the ski and the ability to not back off scary terrain. This ski i think has been unchanged and changed many other skis for a few years, proving it was the prophet. Light, fast turning, and solid. The love groomers too. I am sure you could 'butter' around the mountains east coast or west coast. super playful!

These were the 07-08 model, virtually same ski. Not forgiving when landing...

Get on those 79s Gumba. Twintip and tight turn radius. These are a quick turner, so you'll benefit from a bit more ski under you.

What kind of terrain are you riding? I'd probably suggest the 172, or the 165 if you wanna rock tight trees. But I'm always biased to riding longer sticks.

Nothing has changed. Same great ski. They now have added the prophet 90 flite, which is the same ski without the metal matrix making it a softer flex.

One of the best skis for tight forests that I've ever seen. I want to take a pair to Jay Peak! The Prophet 90 turns so super quick, yet the metal keeps it stable and predictable. Not the best for big mountain shredding or straightlines, it's got a fairly tight turn radius. But perfect for stealthy pow-stash sessions.

Marker Jester/Griffin would both be good choices. Great feel and energy transmission. Same could be said about the Look PX14, or the Salomon STH 14. All are great bindings for an all mountain expert. They all have excellent release and retention properties to keep you in when you need to be, and release when you need to as well.

What is the flex like on this ski? Is it similar to the K2 Extreme?

What is the flex like on this ski? Is it similar to the K2 Extreme? I'm looking for something with fairly soft flex like the Extreme, but something in the 90mm range underfoot. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

These are very stiff. Go with the prophet flite if you like Line, it should be softer since it wont have the metal matrix. I'm not sure about the K2, but I'd imagine it is quite softer. I've seen park people use them so thats my only guess that they have a softer flex.

Prophet 90's are pretty stiff, try the Salomon Lord (http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Salomon-Lord-Ski/SAL1409M.html).

Other than graphics there are no changes to the prophet 90, except that they also make a prophet 90 flite, which does not have the metal matrix (titanal layer) so it is a softer flexing ski.

Same construction as last year. The only change in the "Prophet" skis is that the Prophet 130 now has early rise in the tip.
