Hmmmmm. Can't say powder skiing is my specialty, but I've demoed many rossis before, and I've found that the scratch BC's are a beautiful ride and plenty stiff. I would avoid line's if you hit the park every now and then, because they delaminate very easily if you fuck up even just once. I'll ask a few of my buddies what they feel about 'em for stiffness though. I couldn't tell you personally.

Cheers man,
Trix

^^^^ I hope you are joking about the Prophets, because the only thing that could make those skis any less all-round is to put a swallow tail on em

No that's not what i was saying. Some dude said that they were a great all mountain ski, especially for carving. The last thing i think of when the words 'Line Prophets' comes to mind is super fast turns on ice. More like face shots and waist deep.

it's ad went people can't recognize sarcasm.

As far as your skis all of these skis are going to feel pretty different from the axis which has a lot of side cut and is deffinetly more of an all mountain/groomer ski. I'd say go with something with dimensions simular to the PR. I think my first suggestion would be the Atomic Tweak because for a ski with a pretty big waist it kills it on ice. Also for a stiff ride look at the Volkl Karma and maybe the Rossi Scratch BC. For something softer look at the Pollards or Pocket Rockets. If you don't want something as wide just look at the same companies offerings in their park skis.

I think rails in general are just a phase. - Anthony Boronowski
