Line Skis Prophet 85 (2013)
Tester's Review
Want a talented carver with a freeride look and a playful disposition to match? This is your ski. "A powder skier's groomer ski," said one tester. Whereas many skis in its waist-width range preferred not to leave groomed snow, the versatile Prophet 85 transitioned from corduroy to bumps and crud without blinking. It's truly an all-mountain ski, but in a narrow package. "Never thought I'd like this as much as I did," said a Northeastern tester.
PRICE (MSRP): $690.00
