PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
You want a powerful big-mountain freeride ski that isn't limited to nostril-deep pow days. Grab the Line Prophet 100 Alpine Ski. With 100mm underfoot and 134mm at the tip, this ski loves the big white but won't dump you on your ass on the groomers. The Prophet 100 features a super tough Metal Matrix construction which wraps titanium over the initiation contact points at the tip and tail and stiffens the ski for ridigity at high speeds. This also makes it easy to power out of your turns (without dead-weight-heavy tips and tails). Prongs underfoot give you pressure points to dig into hardpack.
Bottom line
Big-mountain ripping on a daily basis.
Product Reviews
An industry secret is out called the Prophet 100
This ski simply rules it all. Its construction with the metal matrix lay-up over maple is ingenious. The metal top sheet wraps over the core in segments to give you less twist and more bite where you need it. At speed in chop or Super-G'n on silk or windblown they inspire confidence and big grins. Stable and damp but at the same time nimble and quick. Wow, they outclass the Gun Lab 188's I had in a big way. More fun than my Outlaws when it’s deeper. People considering Gotamas should ride these as the Prophet is not as bouncy. The Prophet kills it Period.
186 Base is Black
has a yellow color Line insignia on a black base. Don't know about you but gotta like the black base for repair issues. The Boyz at our beloved B-Country just missed this is all. By the way...just mounted my second pair cuz they're just that good. Two full seasons on my last pair and all my friends wanted my pair when they saw me ski them. The new graphics are awesome. Dollar for Dollar the most Big Mtn Performance for the Buck spent. Have a close friend sponsored by K2 that when asked by the K2 Pres, what his favorite ski of the manufacturers test at Snowbasin was...His response was the Line Prophet 100. Interesting...not that it wasn't already in the works but I guess it didn't hurt as K2 bought Line!
Nutrageous!
A truly amazing all mountain ski. Finally got them out after a decent dump and they didn't disappoint. I thought that I had found the ultimate ski in a pair of the Line Motherships but the Prophet 100's crank it up a notch. The slightly increased width combined with the metal matrix over maple makes for an extremely rigid ski torsionally. What this means to you is that in addition to blowing through powder faster than Paris Hilton it cuts through crud like a hot knife through buttah. If you like to ski big mountains at high rates of speed this ski is not only a cotendah but the champ.
unbelievable
I bought the 08 design halfway through last year and skied about 10 days on them. I have the Fritschi Freeride+ bindings on them and have used them in some small backcountry behind Whistler. These are seriously the most fun skis I have ever been on. They are very light due to the wood core and titanium plate and let you bounce in the powder like no other ski I've tried. I was riding these well into the wet conditions of May and they still outperformed other skis I have been on. One of the big selling factors for me was the turning radius. I grew up skiing in the east coast so I have always been a carver, and with a radius of 16.8 m on the 179's, I can hit the groomers almost as hard as my Head iXRC's with a 12.2 radius. They do start to chatter a bit with really hard carving, but being a ski instructor I see myself as a harder carver than the average person. Most other skis with 100mm underfoot have a radius of 20-30m, so if you like to carve when there isn't much new snow then it is a great selling point. In summary, GET THESE SKIS. You will not be disappointed.
Bodacious!
These skis flat out kick ass. I skied them last year and fell in love. I am not a big dude, 5'9", 145, and the 186 length felt perfect. They skied shorter than that, and were surprisingly nimble. They were quick edge to edge in the woods and carved surprisingly well. They felt well balanced. They floated through powder, and busted through crud. I skied switch on them on a groomer and they did ok fakie. This is my new quiver of one ski. Also, SKI magazine, who probably heard about Line skis last year, and cares more about apres ski, fancy dining, hotels, and groomers, gave this ski a gear of the year award. SKI magazine! That says a lot. Line has really stepped up their game in freeride skis. And they look badass as well. Can't go wrong with these!
