So I've only demoed them, but I've also the demoed the Ct 1s, and just bought some CT 2s. I have a friend w the prodigy w, which is just a different graphic. She mainly skis pow, and doesn't jump and loves them, and when I was demoing, I could shred the park on em.
If 2 girls can get 1st and 2nd on em in the Olympics, I'd say they're good for park. Also floaty in pow. On piste they can't carve for shit tho.

Haven't skied them yet, but they are the next ski I'll be on for Roofbox Reviews. That probably won't drop until fall but if you can't wait until then, I should be able to give you some solid info in a couple of months. - Twig

I can't wait, I've been searching the internet for decent reviews on the current prodigy line and just found they same bullshit. Nobody else does actual freestyle reviews of park skis like you. However I went ahead and ordered last years prodigy 2.0s I just hope they are as much fun as my CT 3.0s

I also demoed the prodigy 2s, super fun ski. At my mountain faction had a demo day so I tried alot of them. I couldn't take them into the park, because they didn't want me to scratch them, but for powder they're super floaty and responsive. I did some side hits tho, and could do all my jump tricks easily, and butters we're awesome on it. Still, they can't carve for shit. As a ski racer, I know how to carve a ski pretty decently. Those will just slip every other turn or something.

hmm that's disappointing, but I can carve alright on my 3.0s which have no camber so maybe the 2mm will still be better? how poppy were they? I'm assuming not very? And final question what does their weight feel like?
Thanks man

They definitely were poppy, in the middle of my head's, and the Candide 2s. The weight was average tbh, it should say on their website. The issue with the Prod 2s, is I think the shape just isn't that great. I had a much better time on the 2s, and I just bought a pair

Do you mean the 2018 ones as in this season which were the same ski as the Soma from previous seasons?

Or do you mean the ones for next season that are getting redesigned

gotcha. Can't help much with those as I haven't skied them personally. Always found that design soma/prodigy 1.0 a little confusing as I wasn't sure what/who it was for, not quite a park ski but not quite an all mountain ski either
