I am thinking of buying this ski, I want to do a bit of everything so a bit of rails, a bit of jumps, but when the powder comes i want them to perform and if there is only crud and piste, i want a playful and agile ski. Is the prodigy what i'm looking for?

HI !

The Prodigy is made to be a true wide all moutain ski. It's super fun to ski with every day, hit side jumps, ski some pow, groomers etc. Even some of our rider like Dan Hanka, are using it as a park ski !
If you're looking for a more park/all mouton ski, then you might want to look into the Soma, which as a similar profile but narrower and will perform better in the park.

Hey!

I got 184 Prodigy,they are super light, so Im doin sw 10s, shifties and stuff on big kickers, hitting rails, doin switchups, presses etc.. They are soft, so I also enjoy to just butter around the park..

So I think it really could be what you´re looking for!

Hi i've been looking for an all mountain ski for a while now, settled down for the new on3p Jeronimos for their versatility and ability to shred any type of snow while still being 101 underfoot, so large enough for some nice pow. The prodigy were also on my top 3 list (along with the alpha x, which were too much park oriented in my opinion) but i didn't know if they were as buttery as the jeronimos. So are they buttery? Can they really hit boxes/rail, hold up on kickers and still be playful on groomers? The main opinion on NS was that the Jeronimos were better, it'd be nice to have some honest feedback from you pros tho! Thanks

The tip and tail are not super stiff which makes them really playful, definitely buttery !

sorry for asking again, but their aren't many reviews online, so do they still hold well on groomers? Can you carve with them or are they a bit too noodly? Thanks! really considering getting them now!

And it's me again....! Had another question for you guys in my struggle of choice for new skis: Are the somas as buttery as the prodigy? Would you say the somas would suit me better if i ski 60% groomers and park? (and 40% pow). Because 136-126 does seem a bit wide for park...
