Which Expert Skis Should I Get?

Cwagner · 07-06-12, 07:30 AM

Hello, I am 19 years old and have been skiing all of my life and consider myself an expert skier. I'm 5'10" and 170 lbs. I currently live in the midwest but typically get out west atleast 1 week a year. My skiing in the midwest is limited to groomers and park skiing but when I go out west I typically spend my time 40% powder, 30% glades/tree runs, 25% steep groomers, and 5% park. I am looking for one ski to do it all. I have been eyeing the prophet 90 but I'm afraid its not an advanced enough ski for me. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Can you demo them or hire them to try for a day? Only way to be sure. Often the cost of hire can be discounted against the cost of purchase if you buy from the same shop, do check out internet prices including postage and packingfirst tho.

Great choice Cassy! Prophet 90 is a good choice. Had a friend who owned a prophet 90. He had incredible time with that ski. Smoothing and applicable to all types of skis.
