Line Prophet 90

The Line Skis Prophet 90 is the go anywhere, ski anything, all-mountain, quiver of one. The Prophet 90 is progressively stiffer from tip to tail, powerful acceleration out of turns and directional stability that works in conjunction with the freeride geometry. The Prophet 90 shares the same construction, technology and geometry as the Prophet 100 but at a 90mm width. If you’re looking for a ski with uncompromised responsiveness on firm terrain while still maintaining soft snow versatility and handling, the Prophet 90 is your ski of choice.

Line Prophet 90
tsbent reviewed March 16, 2009 at 1:14 pm

Just purchased and skied 4 days on 179 prophet 90 's. Day 1 hardpack at Alta Utah. Day 2 ,4 " fresh

at 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 Snowbird

as well as the cut-up as the day progressed. At 60 yrs of age, the 179 length required constant attention. The 172's would have probably been a better choice. Can not fault the ski, it was impressive !

I,m still working on the skier.

Line Prophet 90 @ 186cm is a Great Ski!
pcupach reviewed March 11, 2009 at 8:53 am

The Line Prophet 90 @ 186cm is a very stable ski.  (Marker Griffin binding--I'm 45yr/6'3"/225lbs)

I was able to charge straight down the face of a black down diamond that had previously been a bruiser.  It handled 7"-15" of powder without blinking.  It took a few runs to get used to the 90 underfoot.  But once I got the hang of it I was able to rip the turns and readily navigate into/down/out of the chutes...even more importantly I was able to negotiate into the transition areas ready to hit the next chute/glade/mogul.  As the daytime temps increased to 35+F and the snow started to get bad...the 90s responded excellently.  The spring snow conditions did not bog the ski down or cause it to turn heavy.  Compared to my old K2 Apache-Xs...The Prophet 90s are allot stiffer and more responsive to powder turns and when pointed (any snow condition) they take off in the direction YOU want to go.  As I launched off of some smaller bumps (3'-4') the takeoff was effortless and I landed without incident...the ski just kept on going. I decided to try something bigger so I launched and dropped off of a 6' rock with a 45 degree face landing zone.  I entered the drop on the wrong angle and landed great but was heading straight toward some trees.  I was able to initiate a turn in time to miss them.  Bottom line the skis did all the work!  I just had to decide which direction I wanted to go next... Initially I thought the ski was slow...But as I got used to the ride I found myself speeding up significantly...plowing through and over the crud/chop/ice/moguls and wind drifts....These skis are POINT AND GO.

I mounted my binding in the AM position as LINE suggested.  I looked at the ski and said "That front end looks longer than I thought it would be"...so I placed the 186cm next to my 174cm K2...I used the front binding (boot tip) as an equalized reference point...from that point forward the Prophets and K2's where almost the same length...however the tail of the 90 was about 3" longer than the K2.

So if your thinking the longer 90s might be to much to handle in the turns...don't worry.

Go to the LINE website and compare the 100 to the 90..I'm glad I got the 90 for the So Co and NM snow conditions I ski in.

Me (5'4", 155lbs, 55yrs). Skis - Line Prophet 90 172cm, Bindings: Dynastar/Look PX10 Wide. Just spent my first weekend on these here in the Pacific NW. Day 1: Hardpack groomers, the LP90 had great edge grip for conditions that are as 'icy' as we get in the Pacific NW. In the afternoon, everything softened up and it started snowing!  The LP90's cut through the stuff nicely. Also found that the ski performed both short and longer turns well. The next day was 4"-8" of new powder over hardpack. The ski was able handle the variable conditions well. Overall I am very happy with this ski.
