so ive been looking around for an all around ski. i live in sw michigan so we dont get many powder days or powder at all but my sister might be moving to new mexico for college and ill have taos to ski. ive narrowd my ski choices to the rossi steeze, k2 obsethed, and prophet 100's.

we're also gonna need:
-how tall you are
-how much you way
-how old you are
-where you live



that will definitely help with the choose of the skis

what sort of skiing do you want to do?

Charging down the mountain or jibbing round in the powder sorta like pollard?

Rossi steeze's would probably be a bit to wide underfoot as they are 110 wheras the obSETHed and the prophet have 105 and 100 respectively. I would go with the obsethed if you are going down to taos to ski more pow but for all mountain I would go with the prophet 100.

There's soo many skis out there that you could choose, go with something that you like and are comfortable with.   Demos are always a good way to find skis.
