not completley sur eon the 80's but the 90s'- A skinnier brother to the prophet 100, the 90 feratures the same high preformance, yet lightweight, construction with dimensions more suited to firm snow. Impressive edge hold responsivness due to a sheet of titanium that lies over the contact points of the ski, not on the tip or tail-let the 90excel during dry spells, but a wide tip and mid fat waist will handle the occasional powder day.

i think the 80 seems like a solid all mtn ski, but you need to give us more info. for exampl do you ski 50% park and 50% all mtnor what, and where do you live? east coast ice? west coast pow? height, weight and skill will also help

I've been looking at the Prophet 80's too. How do they compare to PE's? It's probably between these two for me. I don't ski a ton of park, but all mtn/east coast ice.

90's would be fine for east coast, although you also might wanna look into the chronic blend and the chronic wide from last year. both of them great park/allmountain skis.
