Katana 190 vs. Mantra 191
6'2" 220 30+yrs. of skiing. Ride Squaw and Kirkwood in variable conditions. Want a stiff board to plow through crud, powder. Like to go fast. Been on Prophet 100s for 3 years and loved 'em, but they always seemed a tad too soft. Recommendations?

I'd get on the Mantra if you liked the Prophet 100 and just wanted something stiffer. The Katana is a big departure from the Prophet that you already like. It's much fatter and much stiffer. The Mantra is more similar in shape to your Lines, albeit with a longer turn radius and the same metal construction as the Katana. Hope this helps!
