yep. the 100 is fine for park... don't know much about the rest of the series but i'd say the 80 is crap in the park, 90 should be good, 100 is fine and the 130 just isnt...

its designed for park. its dope. its got some swing weight. but thats a give in for a ski that fat. the bacon is just a bigger version of the eliz. so it will be sick too. soft flex patterns.

not if it has a directional twin, i'm not sure if this year's 80 came out with a full twin or not.

The prophet 80 is a park ski bro. It's got plenty of tail.
And the 90 kills it in the park if you're heavier or don't mind stiffer park skis. I skied it a bunch at mammoth in the pipe and on jumps last year, it's hands down the best all mountain freestyle ski on the market this year since it's so capable outside the park as well.

Almost every twin on the market has been "directional" meaning different tip/tail profile as opposed to exactly equal height tip/tail. Until two years ago Line was the only brand that even made a "true twin" ski.
Directional twin doesn't mean directional ski the way a swallowtail ski is directional, or a directional freeride snowboard like the fish is.
Saying the Prophet 80 isn't a park ski because the tail is a few mm shorter than the tip is like saying the Trouble Maker is not a park ski for the same reason.
The only reason Line changed the way they marketed the Prophet 80 this year is because they came out with the Chronic Blend and were planning on having the Anthem. 5 park skis is too much overlap to market, but the truth is the 80 is a far superior ski in the park than the Chronic for instance, not to mention it way outskis it all mountain.
And before he went to K2 Bibby was killing it on the 80s and even one a Slopestyle pro comp, though I can't remember which one.
