hey i was wondering what you guys think would be a better ski for me. i am 6 foot and wiegh around 185. I already have some chronics for park so i dont really care about these being all that good for jibbing. I would be using these for powder and some tight untoached woods. I do live on the eastcoast and ski primarily at sugarbush, and jay peak. I do spend about 3 weeks out in Utah though.

thanks

The main difference is the width. The Big Trouble is more comparable to the prophet 90, while the prophet 100 is about 10mm bigger all around. Supposedly the Trouble has a super stiff tail (according to Dynastar) better for jumps, jibs. I tend to think the Prophet tail is a little softer. This seems to mean that the Prophet will be a little more powder specific. If you already have Chronics for the park, maybe you would like to go with the one that is the most different from them. Seems like you're planning to go mostly off trail with them, so I say go with the wider ones.
