I'm looking for an all mountain ski that can float well in the powder, turn in tight trees and bumps, and also feel stable at speed. I am looking at this ski, the line prophet 90, and the Atomic Snoop Daddy. Any suggestions on which ski would be best, or any other possible fits? I'm an advanced skier, and 5'9", 175 pounds.

your initial choices are all good, but I'd recommend you to consider the Salomon's Lord or Shogun as well. The Lord, with 85 underfoot is more on piste oriented, but have a short rocker on the tip which provides an excellent feeling in Powder, if not "hip deep". On groomers, the Lord as a great stability at high speed and is very quick on edge to edge transition. On the other hand, the Shogun suits better "western states" skiers. Wider with 100 underfoot, it's definitely the one quiver ski which excells in powder, on groomers, in crud. Very responsive with its bamboo top layer and very absorbing (high frequency vibrations) thanks to the basalt layer used in its construction. If I had to make a single reco, i'd say Shogun, size 182, or 173 if you privilege tight turns in the trees and quick handling
