I usually buy ~ a pair of skis a year, which is roughly the rate at which holes in my quiver open up through wear and me selling stuff.

So this year, I started my ski search late, and didn't get my skis by the time the season started. Luckily, the start of the season was shit anyways, (as has been the whole deal), but it sucked anyways. So, this year, I'm starting it early. This is the big one... so I'm not expecting it to be over in a week, barring a miracle deal.

In case anyone's curious, the hole in my quiver is essentially my all-around, all mountain ski. This role is currently being filled by my rock skis. Luckily I'd be using those anyways, so this isn't urgent anyways. In any case, my solution is to do one of 2 things, depending on what happens in the next couple months as a result of this search. Either I fill the hole directly, or get a huge pow ski and use my pistols (currently the pow skis) to fill the hole, since I have come to realize that the pistol is more versatile than earlier thought.

The skis I'm looking for. PM me if you've got them. I'd prefer new or in near-new condition. Bindings, no bindings... either way.

1. Armada Jp vs. Julien pro model 191cm
2. K2 Made'n AK 189cm
3. Line Prophet 130s
4. BRO MODELS, soft or stiff.
5. Volkl Karma 185cm
6. Line Pollard Pro 186cm
7. Volkl Gotama 190cm
8. Armada ARV 185cm
9. Line Mothership Ti 182cm
10. Rossignol Scratch BC 182cm
11. May be added at some time, if something occurs to me.

Let me know. This could take a while.

no brake's, just a HIgh din that was supposed to keep them on but didnt.your gonna have to work something out, like bending the wide brake's. I had one ski eject off a perfect landing and hit the next jump in line, the prophet went about 65 feet in the air, i put them away after that. I was thinking a 5 or 10 foot leash if your brave/dumb .

I've got the look wide brakes on my spats, they're bent and they don't really hold the skis together, but they might stop them if they fell off, Only lost them twice this season both over the front. I bet if i land back seat off a drop and they shoot out they'll just take off down the hill.

I ride the 188 Scratch BCs and it was the best decision ever, they are perfect for rippin nasty lines and kill it in the park too. It also feels good when you see kids with 167 through nines and then you do a seven with 188s, they don't feel so good any more.

JD...here's a pair of JP's on ebay. I think they have been mounted cuz the guy mentions that they've only been skied a few times, but it does not mention the inclusion of bindings. Either way, thought you might be interested as the 04/05 JP's are hard to come by and are, in my opinion, cooler than the new ones as I like the flex better and they are lighter.

DAMN! My plot to get prophets was foiled by the fact that they're not going on sale... apparently Comor regards them as an '05-06 ski'.

So the search continues.

I've skied or owned most of the skis on your list and the Prophets would be my suggestion. I have 7 days on mine now and they are officially now my everyday ski. Not because I blew my load on them at the expense of having a quiver, because my quiver is huge. It's just that they do anything even remotely soft faster and better than any other ski ever and thats that. I was actually adding them to my 182 Moship Ti (the next best ski ever) to further extend my arsenal and I just havn't skied my moship since. There have been some narrow ass shoots where I wish I had my Ti's on instead but for the most part the Prophet reigns supreme. I will sell you my Motherships though if you'd like, they are in great shape with like 8 or 10 days on them and a S914 in yellow that matches her bikini :) Message me.

Prophets not for sale? JD, I saw them for sale at both Comor and GS Freeride in Whistler. They were like $1000-$1100 though.

^Yes, I was expecting them to go on sale later this week with the rest of comor's 04-05 stuff, but apparently they're 05-06 skis. Now, I wasn't aware that Line had RELEASED any 05-06 prophets. But that's what the manager told me.
