How are the Line prophet 130's?

[wak_attack_542]

I'm thinking about buying a pair. what are they like?

 

[ferrariowner123]

just a really fat ski, with a boring graphic in my opinion

 

[Scott29~]

Yeah I wouldnt be caught dead with those graphics on my skis. Probably wouldnt even match my purple saga~

 

[ferrariowner123]

i like the pervious series, but the 2011 dont look bad either, but in my opinion, there are better choices

 

[Deletedtoday]

your failing.

 

[ferrariowner123]

How? my grammar, most likely,

I liked the look of the prophet series before the current one, and next years dont look bad,

This is ridiculous. Are you people seriously debating the merits of the topsheet?

Please. No more posts unless you've actually ridden the Prophet 130s. Thank you.

 

[Scott29~]

Youre right, how would I know if it didnt match my purple saga unless I tried it on and looked in a mirror?~

 

[Deletedtoday]

if your judging a ski on the graphic at all you fail.

 

[ferrariowner123]

im not, i have talked nothing of its performance yet, im just saying i dont dig the graphic, but since no one has posted a real review yet, here's a few that should help you in your ski dilema.

I dont really like these first two, kinda vague and dont go into alot of detial,

Teton doesn't seem to have alot of reviews on the 130

Sick video on the 130, but its line, so it might be a little bias.

ok shut the fuck up. you have no idea what you are talking about, if you have never even ridden them. please don't quote me saying something else stupid.

They are dope skis in the right conditions. They aren't as soft as the EP, and they float like crazy. I rode em for 2 seasons, and they were super fun. I actually skied park on em in tahoe, and stevens/snoqualmie etc. Pretty fun in the park, they are surprisingly light.

the sidecut is a little lacking IMO, and I needed something a little mroe versatile. I often was getting caught in the wrong conditions with the wrong ski. I want something that I can both ski bullshit spring slushy snow, as well as get pow turns, while hoofing around 40 lbs of lighting and camera gear. I am trying to reduce my overall gear weight, and I hate having to decide which skis to bring when I have one extreme (the anthem) and the 130.

That being said, I am kinda kicking myself for selling mine. The new 130's are called just that. The 130. its no longer part of the prophet series, which is moving more towards a backcountry/steeps specifc ski for charging hard, but not so much switch.

I literally typed that in one fail swoop without catching typos, so sorry. PM me is you have any questions about them or any other line ski.
