So I have a park ski that I will use to ski park and all mountain.  I would like to get a mid fat ski to complete my 2 ski quiver and was looking for some tips.  I really want gots but dont think I will spend the doe.  I was thinking prophet 90 or 100 but was not sure on which one.  I will use the ski for pow, and probably split time all mountain between by two skis.  But no park on by wider boards.  Some ideas?

I think the 100 sounds nice, I demoed them and they are amazing skis like all the reviews say.

I really like the karmas for all mountain. I use them in the park too, but I think they really perform well outside. It's not insanely wide if thats what your looking for, but Volkl does have a decent lineup of park/pow skis if you wanna check them out.

prophet 100 for sure.  the 90's are more for all mountain cruising and would be too similar to a park ski.  also, maybe check out the elizabeth or sfb if you want something a little softer and fatter.  also, let us know your size, that would help.

Actually, it's been used widely as "doe" as well as "dough". Its the slaughtering of the english language,

1. doe



street term for money

The government know, the kid been lovin' the doe
Since I was movin' white off the curb, and shovelin' snow

Well, I dont need help on ski size, but I am 5' 11'' and about 160.  I like to think that I shread pretty good.  I ski about 2 weeks a year and have been for life.  I ski in the CO, mainly summit county and steamboat.

if u like a stiffer ski then the Prophet 100, or Volkl Bridge, rossi Brigade, and K@ seths would all be solid choices

and I meant 2 real weeks of skiing in CO, I dont call it skiing unless I am on a real mountain.  If not I just think of it as screwing off.
