So, with my bad knee (Don't need repair as long as my hamstrings are strong with noooo pain)Use an ACL brace when conditions are rough. Would the Line Prophet 90 Alpine Ski be a good all around choice (softer)? If so in what lenght? If not these skis, what would you recomend???Marcopolo 5'10 215lbs.Advance skier. I have a bad knee (ACL gone and not repaired) but still ski hard. Should I get 172cm too help turning ez? or use 179cm???

No the 90 is a fair amount stiffer then the 100, maybe take a look at the k2 obseth in a 179 or the line blend in 178 its flex is similar to the obseth with almost the exect same diementions as the 100.Just a note...At 5'10'' you need to be at the 179 length. Remeber the prophet 100's are a twin tip and will naturally ski shorter. They feel like skiing a 175 and one other thing, the prophet standard mounting is set ahead of most other traditional skis so you are natually forward on the prophet 100 which results in a little more forward foot placement on your ski...i.e. less ski in front of you to turn which makes this ski feel very nimble, quick and extemely fun to ski in all snow conditions. All though the ski is bulit very light it can handle your weight @ 215 lbs. You should be very happy with what the 100's bring in their natural make up. Trust me here...the prophet 100 is just about as perfect of a ski as you can buy for a one quiver ski, the 90's in my opinion are a bit of a compromise from the 100's and why compromise.
