hey willieso i'm up at whistler and i demoed the prophets-prophet 90s actually and they were in the 172cm and were a couple years old. for some reason no one has line skis to demo/rent, and i couldn't find 4frnt anywhere to demo either. so after skiing the prophets i've decided that they are a little too stiff-mabye it's different in the 100s or are they the same stiffness? also i just sunk in like 1 1/2-2 ft of pow, but i assume thats different in the 100. and if i go for the prophets i'm all of a sudden a little hesitent about the 186cm, it seems like maby too intense of a ski and i'll be sacrificing some of thae playfulness that it has in the 179cm-if that makes any sense at all? what do you think? so vct-since i couldn't demo them. could you for the last time give me a comparison beween the prophet 100 and the vct. flex, weight, turns radiud etc. also how they coompare in pow, crud, on groomers, mogles. thanx willie i kno its hell of alot but this is my last question i promi!

Hi henry-- so your up in whistler- lucky, the 90 is stiffer then the 100 by a fair amount, also you were on a 172 and your a big guy, the vct would give a little more float then the 100 because it's softer and has minimal camber to help it float better, but the turn radius is wider so it's not as quick, the 100 has metal in it so it will ski crud/groomers better, i agree the 186 would lose some playfulness for all mountain jibbing around, maybe its time to try a slightly rockered ski to get the float yet still ski groomers the two best out there in that waist size would be the k2 obseth in 179 or the salomon czar in 182 or maybe it's 184 i can,t remember, see if you can demo those two ski's. if they don't work for you you will maybe have to comprivise and get a fatter ski. also look at the rossie s6 its this years sratch steeze it's around 110 in the waist but a real fun all around ski.
