Prophet 100 Question

[cmeriptahoe]

what is the flex on these compared to that of the gotamas?

 

[Powforbreakfast.]

i've never flexed goats, but i know that they're pretty stiff. i also know that my prophet 100's are pretty stiff. i'm guessing they're realatively similar.

 

[skinnylove]

he knows it.

 

[cmeriptahoe]

would you describe the difference in flex between these and SFB's like night and day?

 

[drewishish]

yes.

he knows it.

 

[cmeriptahoe]

is it safe to say that the prophet 100s and gotamas probably arent very fun to tool around on all mountain? meaning, are they overly stiff. if someone has skied the original karmas and the prophet 100s could you tell me which one is stiffer.

 

[Powforbreakfast.]

well it's not like the prophets are superb in the park, but i ride them everywhere... i'd say it's the best carving ski in the 100+ category i've ever been on, and it kills it switch. plus the flex and stability of it encourages speed, so i find it a really fun ski just to charge on in anything. if you like going fast and like a stiffer ski, prophets are good. just don't expect it to slash powder like a pow ski or slay rails like a park ski. it's just a stiff, wide, all-around charging ski that loves to turn.

they're realllly fun to ski switch on, though.. seriously..

 

[cmeriptahoe]

sweet. thanks. i think i might pick a pair of those up. i need something wide that cankill it all mountain especially in the crud for those couple days after it snows.

 

[Powforbreakfast.]

perfect ski for what you want.

 

[cmeriptahoe]

alright sweet. they will still perform well in the pow with the width underfoot right?

 

[Powforbreakfast.]

yea, but jibbing performance in the deeper snow isn't optimal due to it's stiffness. they still kill the pow skiing though, don't worry.

 

[cmeriptahoe]

alright. i think you just sold me. thank you. + karma to you.

 

[Powforbreakfast.]

you're more than welcome
