First off, pollard has always used salomons. that is his binding of choice. second, they are too wide for brakes. from what i hear though, pollard usually doesnt ride with brakes. its just not his thing. its not recommended for the rest of us though since we ski around peopole. he skis uncharted places, so he doesnt need to worry about a runaway hitting someone. also, those can be skied inbounds. there is nothing physically preventing you from riding them inbounds, unless you dont have that wide of a stance. they are a very different feeling from regular skis, but different isnt bad. a lot of ppl like the surfy, loose feel of them. freeskier even said in their review that the prophet 130s were very fun inbounds. sure, they are meant for pow, but nothing is preventing anybody from riding them inbounds except for their stance, and ice of course. they arent designed to edge and carve, so you cant expect them to ride like that. you just need to get used to the surfy loose feel. hell, you may prefer that feeling over regular skiing. its all about getting used to their different performance.

now, have a look at that:

www.capitalskis.com/shapes.asp
"G-Funkenstein - squash tail standard
The future is here. The widest ski ever made, this ski is our choice for a powder day. The reverse sidecut and rocker give you unparalleled control and stability in ALL sorts of soft snow conditions and having the widepoint in front of the boot tip creates a ski that you can be super aggressive on and stomp airs better than anything else you can click into."

They are too huge for any ammount of snow. I have a pair of ar5s and yesterday there was 2ft yes 2ft of fresh at breck and they floated just fine in more than 3ft of powder. sure my seth pistols feel better in powder but if your saying you need a 150mm waist to ski powder then you should switch to snowboarding. Sure Pollard is sick but he is the only person who would need anything close to that because he skis switch in ft of pow. Oh ya anyone remember what line said about the 130 prophet. "We can float Rossie Odonnald in 4 feet of Blower." Thought that was funny.
