I'm thinking about purchasing these skis but I cannot decide between them and the prophet 100s. Please share opinions on both.

if your not fond of the graffic, get the rossi raven.  its the telemark ski but its the same as the steeze.

buy the stezze, is the perfect ski for deep powder and is not that bar in grooms trails, is stif under foot and have a soft tip to float like never before...

so: rossignol stezze...

Dumb question I'm sure but I have never had a ski wider than 100mm at base. What bindings have that wide of a break, anyone know??

you sir, are an idiot. size has everything to do with everything and if you expect helpful responses, we are entitled to expect more info than you provided. steezes and prophets are very different skis, therefore, info on how aggressively/competently, where and what you ski are of utmost relevance to the question.

now, if you'll be so kind...

Steeze's only come in one size however, so we must assume that's around his size range.  Let's be civil.

i have only hand flexed them, and they are pretty stiff, i would compare them to say ants, but the guy riding them had them mounted at center...they were his bc jib ski and he seemed to like them for that purpose

i was referring to your size actually, as in weight.... since that could make a huge difference in your choice

he wants to see how others liked the ski, not what size he should get.

i own the 186 model and there quite stiff and the dimensions are perfect, and they have a reasonable amount of camber so theres no problem on hard pack.

I hate people who put alpine bindings on telemark skis.

There is no diff between the skis, they just slapped the "Telemark"  name on them, it's not like the Raven is only a tele ski, the only diff is the graphic.

Alright. so i tried these out yesterday. fucking AWESOME ski. its insanely light for how big it is.. I was railing them a few times. super fun. I tried the 175 and the 185. The 185 was a little large for me (im like 140 lbs) but they would be great if you were about 20 lbs heavier. the 175 was the money though, and I was killin it on them. wicked fun.
