I was looking at the Prophet 100's v 90's, like many others. I am 6'1" 170-175, so I am pretty sure the 186cm is the best size (I handle the Bacon's easily). However, I am afraid to commit to one width or the other. I really want something that can go in the trees and get some older powder, as well as go through the crud. However, this often leads me to skiing in the bumps (I ski at winter park/mary jane). While I usually bust out my Armada AR5s for strictly bump days, how much of a difference is there between the 100 and 90 in the bumps, when I do have to ski them? I HATE skiing bumps with the bacons. I would hope the 100s don't have the same problems. Essentially, is it worth giving up the awesome abilities off-piste the 100's have for some ease in the bumps with the 90's? I am leaning toward the 100's.

It really depends on how much you ski bumps. yes the 90's will be noticably better in the bumps than the 100's. but if you only ski bumps when you are lead to them and you don't really have a choice but to ski them then go with the 100's. they are far better better off piste and busting crud then the 90's (not to say the 90's aren't great) and are equally good on groomers. plus because of their wide base they are more stable at high speeds. so IMO it's not worth it to give up all that the 100's brings to the table just so you can ski bumps more conveniently with the 90's. So once again IMO go with the 100's. Also not to add another ski to the table but you might want to check out the liberty helix. great all around ski. little softer and more playfull than the 100's due to the bamboo core. also lighter. and Oh and definately go with the 186cm.
