A fat carving ski is probably the worst description of them.
It's their new big mountain skis for the dudes on the team who didn't want a noodle like the rest of their skis, which I have nothing wrong with the softer skis but I'm stoked to see the return of a prophet/influence type charger since the sick days were quite awful.

Poor branding decision in an effort to not let the Blade die the same deserved death of the BBR and Metron?
Can’t wait to see which company tries to bring back this “revolutionary” design with some fresh lipstick in another decade.

I think it's funny that the last evolution of the series routed out the core to sink the titanal, but in bringing it back they just slapped it on top.
The prophet was pretty damn popular with the older all-mountain crowd before Blizzard started making ski's that people actually wanted to own.

Was trying to think of a cool abbreviation to refer to them by instead of blade optic, and realized the most obvious abbreviation is BO
Judging by the specs it looks amazing as a ski though.

It's a freeride ski with metal, not a Blade but fatter

Somehow the spot -4 from true center is coming to mind, but I might be wrong on that. The fellow who helped develop them is a pretty freestyle kind of guy so I bet it's up there.

-6cm it looks like.
This is completely subjective but I think the graphics are terrible. Giving walmart bike/mid 2000 rental ski vibes.

It's like the old 4FRNT Devastator graphics (Devin Soisson's) but way more gross

Nah idk man 4frnt's always had bomb graphics. These look like a conscious effort of looking as cheap as possible
Like for fuck's sake

It looks like someone's mom took the qst series and redesigned it with their son's old hotwheels cars as inspiration. That's not a compliment

Because they aren’t complete fucking retards?
the ski is the optic. The blade is to remind folks there is a totally different ski with mostly the same metal but it doesn’t fucking ski anything like each other anyway but like gas pedal metal man. It’s like the metal in a rustler but with some extra bullshit underfoot… I dunno, maybe buy some blade? Please?
