Line Prophet 100 Ski

Item #LIN0134 | 0 in Stock

Hey, I just got a pair of Line Prophet 100's in 179 length...

By Ranked #896 - Alpine Fat Skis January 22, 2010

Hey, I just got a pair of Line Prophet 100's in 179 length for a good price. I'm 6' and 175 lbs. My question is will that be too short? Should I have poneyed up more cash and bought the 186's? I ski mostly back bowls, trees and bumps in Colorado. Also, I got a set of Rossignol freeski2 120 bindings. Will those be OK on these skis or should I have spent a little more and got Marker Griffins? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I am 6' 180 and have the 186's with Marker Jesters and really like the setup. I really have no complaints of the 186's, but if I had to say anything negative it is that they are slightly too long...maybe the 179's would have been better for me.

Thanks Andrew. Really appreciate it. Can't wait to get em mounted and try them out. I think it's been snowing up in Breck for the past few days so conditions should be sweet.

I am about your same size and have spent lots of time on both the 179 and the 186. There was not a ton of difference, most days I actually perfered the 179 because they were a little easier to throw around and in general they were more versatile. I think you'll be happy with that set up including the bindings.
