Line SSM (Prophet 115) Review

By Campo Ranked #171 - Alpine Fat Skis December 13, 2010

Line should have called this ski the snow seeking missile instead of the Prophet 115, but, who am I to argue.

Me:
193#
5'8"
Aggressive skier
186cm mounted on the line with Marker Dukes

Conditions:

Everything on the map except for blower powder.

Review: This ski destroys everything in it's path. It LOVES to go straight but has no issue turning as well. It is more of a GS turn than a touring turn. It is stable in the crud, chop, three week old mank, and at the highest speed you can get it to on the groomers. It has NO speed limit. I straight lined lines I never had before and actually was wishing I could make the ski go faster...it is incredibly stable. In manky three week old chopped powder with ice underneath it was stable as anything, but, did require some effort and power to make them turn fast. I did not get to ski them in powder, so, I will supplement this review when I have a chance to ski them in the powder.

Final notes: This is a powerful ski that likes to charge. That said, it has no issue shutting down when it needs to. You have to put effort into the turns you are going to make. Definitely not a ski for a beginner, but, if you are confident and like to go fast and hard, this is the ski for you. The metal matrix makes this ski so stable torsionally it is sick. It is so easy to straight-line is these that you will be amazed. It destoys any inconsistency in front of you. The only area this ski did not excel was, fo figure, moguls.

End Note: If you are looking for a quiver of one and you tend more towards the charging than the turning, this ski is for you!
