i searched it, didnt find anything.

i heard line measures their ski's differently.... but i forgot how, i was kinda sorta looking at prophet 90s, and i was thinking of (if i decide to) getting the 165. im 5'5" 110-115 and i like a stiff ski, that is responsive adn kills it everywhere.... your sudjestions please?
 
what do you mean measuring differently?

my buddies 186 EP's and 182 Bacons are 186cm and 182cm respectively
 
Line measurements include the curves of the tip and tails, so the ski will actually be shorter. It'll be more like 161 give or take a cm.
 
i dont know about the sizing but if you do park the cronic blends would be perfect for you. but if park isnt your thing the 90s would be great. some other skis to look at might be the armada arv and the volkl karma.

good luck
 
thats what i thoguht....i thought they were hte only company NOT to measure there tips and tails..... if thats the case the 165 would be what im getting.
 
are you sure? i've emailed them and asked before and they answered that they measure the running surface of the base from tip to tail.
 
yea... that would be like the contact area, which wouldn't be the tips and tails. heh, well done.
 
I just measured my prophet and its 176 from tip to tail, not running surface. So you may want to go w/ the 172, all prefence.

But I love my 80's (last seasons model), and I plan on getting the 90's in the future. All around a great ski, highly recommend it.
 
ohh, hah, i completely misunderstood the answer i got from the line guy. and all i have are 04/05 lines and they're shorter than what line marks them as so i was always under the impression that they measured curves. it makes sense that they measure like k2 now though.
