6' 2" 215lbs. Just rode Prophet 100s last 2 years and dug 'em, but major issues with quality of build(bent one on a high speed fall, had one delam the entire base after a nice core shot). Ski Tahoe 99% and am thinking Goats in a 190(maybe 183), or Motherships 185. 32 years skiing, Squaw and Kirkwood are my home, so I like steeps, cliffs and just pointin' at times. Thoughts?

The Goat is a much more versatile ski to then the Mothership, which is wider and stiffer. The Goat rips steeps, and just rocks it everywhere, where as the Motherships are more for just deeper days. If it hasn't snowed for a couple days, and the hidden stashes are tracked out, I think that the Gotamas will serve you better.
