i am looking for a new powder ski...i have a few options in mind. prophet 130 (a directional powder ski? meaning?), rossignal s7 and any others? i want something fat under foot. i love my legend pros i ski on now and i want to have little less stiffness but same stability. i am 6'2'' 200lbs and shred hard top to bottom hitting everything in between...hope someone can give me some guidance. looking for a ski for the deeper days, but don't want to switch skis midday when conditions get cruddy...whats the difference in these skis?

The bacon is the softest of the 3 and would be noodles compared to your legends, its more of a playful powder ski. The prophet 130 is a more directional powder ski and the softest of the prophet line, it's pretty quick for its size yet you can charge really hard on them and carves pretty well for a fat ski. I have not skied the fatypus but would love to try the fattest one i can't remember its name. If you charge real hard the bacon would be to soft and small but the 130 would serve you well.
