make sure you still have warranty cuz PRs like to break in half alot.

any ski is fine on groomers as long as you know how to ski it. granted, some are definitely better than others when laying down turns, but the pr's aren't super wide and are quite soft, so they would be fine on the groom

yeah it's been poached. damn. o well, gives me some info anyways. it's either the pocket rockets now on a loan from my brother (they're his skis and he wants seth pistols) or wait till i have a job and get something like the pr. i was supposed to work at hemlock but there's no snow, so i didn't work once.

getting P.R.'s makes you regret it after you ski off piste, especially when youve used seth pistols or mother ships

yeah i snapped a pair of PR's in half. then i got moships, and was amazed at how much better of a ski they are: more lively, better in crud and on groomers. the float was equal but the mothership felt like a much more solid ski.

then i got elizabeths.....

Blue noodles are excessively overpriced for what they are, they seem to go for ludicrous sums of money during ski season on Ebay and places like that. It's ridiculous.

I remember when you were, too... you defended them with fervour. It seems like a lot of people do until they spontaneously explode.

^exactly. either that, or PR's are the first pow skis people have ridden, so they get super stoked on them. i demoed PR's one day in deep pow (my first time on fat skis) and absolutely loved them until they snapped in half right before lunch. then when i got motherships the next season i saw that the PR's were really very mediocre.

i rode the blue noodles at whistler on a nice powder day and was impressed till i got off powder and on the the rest of the mt and they SUCKED... thus i bouth the moships and am sooo happy. who ever was saying how much better the moships did for them in the crud and groomers is right on track. but man try to find the 04/05 moship ti's they are a stiffer ski then the prophets and one reason the moships kill compaired is becuase of the stiffness.

I used to ski my pockets and I liked them a lot they are great for making 8's. I also think they are supereasy to lay over on groomers, far better than my MSP's on groomers. But as far as charging questionable snow they are too soft. Still a great ski and I don't know how you guys broke them. I've tried my hardest to break them off big cliffs crashing into rocks n shit and I didnt do any damage to them after a season

mine snapped right behind the binding on a 25 foot drop into a foot of snow. i don't know how they broke either, it was my first day on them.
