i am a former advanced skier but have been boarding for the past 13 years. i'm wanting to get back to skis and have heard great things about the prophet 90. terrain-wise i mostly hit up Tahoe, do about 60% groomers, 30% pow/trees, 10% park. i'm 5'9" 140lbs. does the prophet 90 in a 179cm seem about right for me? maybe i should go shorter since i'm just getting back into skiing?

I'm a 5'10" 195 ski instructor and I ski the 172s which I love, but if I did it over again I would get the 179s or the 186s. But at your weight I think the 172s would be fine. I am similar to you in that I took a long layoff from skiing (but learned when I was three) to snowboard exclusively. Just got back into two-planking last season. I like how the Prophets feel very snowboardy (if that makes any sense).
