DESCRIPTION
The Humvee of big-mountain fat skis, built to charge the mountain!
Eric Pollard lives and thinks years ahead of his time, so when he prophesized the future of big mountain skis five years ago, LINE listened and constructed prototypes of the most innovative and progressive big mountain ski to date, the Prophet.
That season he tackled the most advanced mountains in the world from Alaska to Russia, while creating one of the best film segments of the year with Matchstick Productions.
After four more years of development the Prophet 130 is now strong, powerful, stable, agile, and even lightweight.
The geometry and flex pattern are both freeride-specific for effortless turn initiation, strong fall line directional handling and powerful acceleration out of your turns.
Its Maple Macroblock core provides all of the stability and power needed for a solid ride down without paying for it in extra weight on the hike up.
The Fatty Base and Edge are even twice the thickness for added durability on that cliff band you’ve been eyeing all season.
Add to that the introduction of Early Rise & Early Taper (enabling the ski to rise out of powder instead of plowing and reducing tail drag and hooking in powder) and you have one exceptional freeride ski!
Prepare yourself, the Prophet is amongst us.
What did Scottish ski guru Rick Hutchings have to say after skiing the Prophet 130?
"The Prophet 130 stamps its mark on the ski scene as the fattest ski ever put into production. The powder benefits of a ski that is 130mm underfoot are obvious, but this is not a sluggish bit of wood. It handles surprisingly well everywhere, letting you get to and from the powder with no real problems. Step in, Step up, and let this one fly."
