Regardless of what you currently own, if you could have any three skis, what would they be?

(1) Karma (185 cm) for park, ice and bumps
(2) Prophet 100 (186 cm) for backcountry, pow, technical lines, and general all-mountain skiing.
(3) ProRider XXL (194 cm) for hard charging and big hucks

Honorable Mention: Sir Francis Bacons, Gotamas, Prophet 130s

A wee bit of overlap there, but I think you're trying to say that you hate skiing powder, no?

There's not a lot of overlap there, there's one stiff big mountain ski, a twin tipped big mountain/powder ski, and a pow ski.

I'm not saying the exactly alike, but they're all big-mountain powder chargers. Whereas almost everybody else picked a park, an all-mountain, and a pow ski. Of course, I'm not criticizing. AKFreeride seems to do a lot of backcountry, so he could use them.

Thats actually a legit point, if we could all afford pow and park specific, nobody would buy an in between ski., unless you just wanted to ski the whole mountain without really hitting any pow pow or a lot of park.

Dis is how you do it..... If yous 5'7 and kill it

Park: Armada Thall/or Pipe Cleaner yourchose in a 171
Pow: Line Elizabeths or Sir Francis Bacons, watch Pollard and you'd know why in the 180's
All Mountain: 177 Karmas stiff but kill it everywhere.

They make good skis and I liked my past models (00 X-Scream and 95 Force9), but their current stuff seems a little too soft and flexy for me.

precisly. the squads for charging, ANTs a bitchin all mountain ski, and the EHP just kills it in general, pow especially with the zero camber and rocker.

and to the other kid, its not like alaska has a park. no where, do we have a park. and i do ski lots of BC, so my list makes sense to me. and the EHP would be mounted tele if this was a fantasy quiver. maybe even the ANT.

Again, I wasn't saying that you're choices were exactly the same. And I certainly wasn't criticizing your list. (My own list is pretty similar, except that I included one parkish skinny ski because Feb has been icy crap at Aly.) But they are more alike than other's lists, no? It's like everyone else picked some kind of a motorcycle, SUV, and sports car. You picked an BMW M5, an WRX STI, and a 911 Twin Turbo, three different sports cars with different characteristics, but nevertheless sports cars.
