Line Prophet 90 Review

November 10, 2009

Line Skis Prophet 90 Skis 2010The Prophet 90 is Line’s flagship all mountain ski, designed to handle everything from fast turns on firm terrain to softer snow on the sides of trails. It’s significantly stiffer than many of the other all mountain mid-fats we’ve tested, which means it handles better than others at high speed, too.

What the Line Prophet 90 gains in stiffness, it doesn’t necessarily lose in park ability. It’s got a pretty substantial twin tip on it, and doesn’t lack the pop needed on many park features.

If you tend to spend more time in softer snow and off-piste but still want the all mountain versatility of this ski, check out the Prophet 100 – it’s all the same with a little bit of extra width underfoot that will keep you floating in deep snow.

LINE PROPHET 90 REVIEW // WHO IT’S FOR
Intermediate and advanced skiers who lean more toward groomers and speed, but still want something versatile enough to play with in the park occasionally.

LINE PROPHET 90 REVIEW // WHAT THEY SAID

“I can’t see it as an every day ski for the park, but it’s fine for occasional use. Rips it up on groomers.”

“An east coast version of the modern mid-fat – handles pretty well on harder snow and groomers, but still has that width that’s mandatory on a powder day.”
