A reasonable one ski quiver
Pros: Good on ice, and bumps, superb carver, not bad in powder and crud either
Cons: The Marker iPT binding that comes with it must be cranked very close to max (12)

“I've skied on about 50 skis in the last several years, and these are the best all-around, IMO. Damp, medium flex, good edge grip. Stiffer than I like in light powder, but excellent in crud and all other conditions. I can ski faster with these.” --crudmaster
“Just purchased and skied 4 days on 179 prophet 90 's. Day 1 hardpack at Alta Utah. Day 2 ,4 " freshat Brighton. Day 3, 3 " fresh at Powder Mountain, Day 4, 25 " dump at Snowbird. Skis were extremely stable at speed and carved amazingly well for a 90 waist. They handled the powder well at Snowbirdas well as the cut-up as the day progressed. At 60 yrs of age, the 179 length required constant...” --tsbent
“Just picked these up not even a week ago. I wanted to get a more advance ski that i could use in All-mountain fun over my Volkl Unlimited ski's. Great fun in the powder and in the trees, I havent put them againts Crud or Ice so far. (due to having a great Pow day when in the mountains.) They love to ski both forward or switch. Nice shock asorbing on hard landings, which is a plus. I bought mine...” --
“ I grew up racing everything from slalom to downhill and a bunch of mogul competitions thrown in the middle. I had different skis for every race. The AC 50s really can handle almost anything and I have been totally shocked by their versatility. I'm 6'5" and 205 lbs and almost always push deep into my turns. The Kendo totally crumbled under my weight at high speeds...” --gooner44
“ I have just completed a week on these in a crazy mix of fresh powder, crud and spring like conditions (been a bizarre Spring in CO ;). I can't believe how well these skis have performed in all conditions on the hill. When things were light and fresh I was whooping it up whenever I was able to find anything untracked. When things warmed up, I was blasting through the crud and when I was...” --billdog
“I demoed these skis for 3 days at Jackson and in short, they rocked. My first though picking these boards up from TVS was, "wow these are heavy," and I found that mass translated into a beefy, confidence-inspiring feel on the hill, both on-piste and off. While cruising the double-blues, these guys locked into a beautiful, rock-solid carve in both medium and long-radius turns as long as I...” --gfabbri
“Initial Impression: My initial impression with Blizzard IQ goes back to there days when they were distributed by Dalbello. I was really not impressed do to the simplicity of the design and IMHO a sub par binding. I DID like the Titan Nine of the same generation. I skied the Cronos which was the replacement for the Titan was not near the same power as that ski. Along comes the new Magnum series....” --Philpug
“$300 for skis without binding... Cant comment on durability because I havent had them long enough, and the only con is Ice but then again find me a ski thats good on ICE. Overall excellent ski, 5* on all catagories and truly backs up all the hype and the awards. 210mm of rocker technology actually is noticeable (wasnt buying the whole idea at first buy I decided to buy them, and its all there...” --Skier91
“ The funny thing about reviews is that it is the reviewers perspective that is printed. Over the years I have had the opportunity to ski on many different types of skis, some of them I loved right away, others took some getting used to & a few I just didn't like at all. A couple of the ones I "didn't like at all" were raved about in most reviews I had read. With that said...” --4ster
“I'm 5'6" and 125 pounds. I tested these at Squaw the day after a storm that dropped 3-6 inches of snow. These were one of the three skis I tested that day (phantom sc 97, and L.P 90 were the other 2) and unfortunately I was unable to ski them for a long enough period of time, but i'll give my initial impressions anyways. I skied them from the demo center in gold coast to siberia, to broken...” --schatten
