Sold on the Prophet 100s, however, I think I am in between the 179 and 186 length. Would you recommend a different ski. I have found in the past it is better to have a ski in the right length, than 3 or 4cm to short or to long. I am 6'2" 180, ski bumps, powder, crud. Use groomers to get to those runs. Currently on Volkl AC-40 177cm. Expert skier, 55 yrs. old, ski Vail area 40-50 days per season.

You might consider Line's Sir Francis Bacon. It goes everywhere out West, is 182 w/ 115 underfoot. I've skied it 2 years in Alta and Squaw. Love it. Powder, steeps, even park if you do slow spins All of it with ease and style. Crud, pow, groomers -- no problem. Ice -- keep those edges sharp and you'll have grip. The SFB rocks it all.

I would say you could handle the 186, without too much problem. Adds weight for busting crud, float for the deep, and doesn't really impede you in the bumps.
