The Prophet Flite is the most laid back ski in the Prophet series. The two biggest benefits of this fact are it helps keep the price down and can make any level skier feel like a seasoned veteran. Line uses 4D Fibercap construction with an Aspen Macroblock core as the base for the Prophet Flite. These function together giving the Prophet Flite a subtle feel that is both forgiving and stable, a combination hard to get right. To add a playful element skier want in freeride type skis the Prophet Flite gets topped off with a Composite Matrix layer. A Blend of addition carbon fiber stringers and fiberglass, the Composite Matrix helps make the ski lively and snappy, but unlike metal, does not make it any more demanding. Finishing the package the Prophet is shaped with P-Cut geometry and is given slight Early Rise (5cm x1mm) in the tip, making the Flite a predictable and effortless turner regardless of speed and terrain. Combined with the lowest price of all the Prophets the Flite becomes the perfect ski for progressing intermediates or less aggressive advanced skiers. The Prophet Flite also works incredible well as a transitional ski for teens finally making their way into adult equipment.

Comments about Line Prophet Flite Skis 2012:
I just got the Line Prophet Flight 165cm as a gift. As a smaller lighter frame guy (5'9" 145lbs.) these skis were exactly what I was looking for. At first I was a little worried about the 90mm waist on these, especially coming from using only rental equipment the past couple of years. Let me tell you I am so glad I went with a ski that has a larger waist. These feel nice and stable, yet I'm still able to roll them over and get on the edges/carve. The "early rise" in the tips seem to help with the crud, and give a bit more flotation in the nicer snow/powder than I was used to with rentals. If you are a beginner and looking to make the jump up to intermediate and want a lively, light, fun ski I would recommend this to you. I would classify myself as beginner-advanced or intermediate-beginner. Starting to tackle some of those more intimidating runs (steep blues, very easy blacks).

Hi I am Charlie. I am here with Line's new Prophet Flite. I am going to give this ski 3/5 stars. This is a good ski, it's a little bit soft for my taste. This is good for that intermediate skier, maybe the intermediate to advanced; somebody that's just trying to learn how to step up their game a little bit. Really initiates, easily rolls into the turns. It's a real good mellow ski for somebody that's trying to get a little bit more into the all mountain scene.

Hey everyone, it's Fidel. I just got off of Line's Prophet Flite. It's kind of the softer younger brother of the Prophet 90. Really liked it, really enjoyable. It's about 90 underfoot, very stable, not the quickest ski edge to edge but if you want kind of a quiver ski, kind of an all Mountain ski and you don't favor short radius turns it's awesome. I prefer the Prophet 90, for me I'm a little bit bigger guy but if you're little bit smaller than me it's an awesome ski. I give it five out of five.

This Is Hans with the Line Prophet Flite. The Prophet Flite is the little brother of the 90. The biggest difference is it doesn't have any metal which makes the ski a little bit poppier. Again, this is a ski when you look at skiing twin tip, you can take it in the park, you can really ski this ski anywhere you want. It will do everything. Obviously if you ski aggressive long turns it will be a little bit squirrely but otherwise it will take you anywhere you want to go. I give this ski a 4/5.

Comments about Line Prophet Flite Skis 2012:
Line Prophet Flite, this is a Prophet 90 missing the sheet of titinal in it. This is a really, really fun, super responsive ski. Definitely targeted for your intermediate to advanced riders who's going to hit groomers, going to do some back country, gonna do some trees and stuff like that. At a 90 under foot you can ski the ski anywhere you want to go. If you're not quite as hard charging, a little bit lighter weight this is going to be a really good ski for you because it's got some carving runners in it to still give it a lot of good backbone. Nothing else that I can say, I'm already a Line snob because I own the Prophet 90s. 5/5 stars all day long.

Hi I'm Kevin. I just got off the Line Prophet Flite. I really liked this ski, it's a really good intermediate to low-level advanced all Mountain twin tip ski. They lower the tail profile on the ski a little bit this year so it's more directional than it has been in the past. It's got the carbon ollie so it's really poppy, very easy to point to a turn like a snake it goes. The ski gets 4/5 stars but if you're looking for a very versatile all Mountain twin that can ski hard packed below the soft snow or cruddy snow this is a winner.

Hi I'm Thom. I'm here with the Line Prophet Flite. I give this ski 3/5 stars. Real stable ski. With the capped construction it's a little bit more of the intermediate style ski. Great for anybody who's transitioning to maybe their first more all mountain type ski or looking to push from that beginner low-level intermediate and get you something to experience more of the mountain and wants a very stable easy-going ski that's still going to provide flotation and support on edge. You'll be really happy with it.
