5'10", 190lbs intermediate/advanced skier, like the powder, but ski lots on the groomers (born on the icy slopes of NE Ont/ and Que, but interior BC skier now).Have tried the Missions (178) 2 days after a 50cm day and had a blast on all slopes. Gave me great confidence. Also tried Elan 888 (177?) on more of a hardpack day... also comfortable, but seemed not to hold as well... a shame there was no powder to play in to fully compare.Question is... how would the Punishers or the Line (Chronic? Prophet?) compare? Also the Salomon Lords were a recommended demo that I have yet to get to. Size suggestions welcomed. Probably 60/40 groomer to powder (if not 70/30). I ski a lot with boarders and need more float and crud busting ability.Thanks... great site/reviews/comments!!

The Punisher in the same length will ski shorter and looser, due to the twin tip tail. The Prophet 100's are stiffer but they are a little more floaty because they are wider. Surprised the 888 didn't hold for you on hardpack; it's what they do best. You say 70/30 groomers/pow, but you need more float and crud performance? I'd step up to a longer length in this ski.
