prophet 98 is right up your alley. the bacon and sick day are going to be softer and wont grip as hard on the east coast ice

I use to ride prophets, then moved to bacons. The bacon is considerably more playful/soft and floats better. I got to ride the sick day 110 last year. In my mind it was a strait combination of the prophet series and the SFB. Similar to a SFB with a flattened out tail and a little less rocker. If you are more into charging and going fast I would recommend the sick day series. If you wanna play all over the mountain the SFB. The bacon does feel a little wide when you are not moving fast as wood the sick day 110. The 95 version would be spot on for an all mountain ripper if you don't encounter large amounts of snow.

Dude get a Line Blend. Pretty much a chronic, but wider. This ski is really good for skiing powder and also really good on park.
