Last season I found myself without a solid every day ski in my quiver that would handle whatever conditions I would encounter on the mountain on any given day. I needed something that would carve on hard pack well, yet provide enough float to be serviceable in deeper snow, crud, or cut up powder when called upon. I needed a daily driver. After some laborious research, mulling various magazine and personal reviews, there was one ski that seemed to be universally loved and completely fit the bill. That ski was the Line Prophet 100: A playful cap-constructed twin that sports a generous sidecut, maple core and a layer of titanal for good measure. A number of seasons ago when the Prophet 100 first debuted, at 100mm under foot, it might have been considered a powder ski in almost any locale save for maybe Utah, where its bigger brother the Prophet 130 was the weapon of choice on deep days. Fast forward a few years and 100 is the new 80 - fat is now mid-fat (yes, even in New England.)
