    Does anyone have a picture of the tip-rocker on the 194 d-sender, I also heard weird things about the measurements, do the 194's actually measure longer than 194...or is it just the running length people talk about?

    Profile pictures of 2010 Alotta Prototypes...

    Similar specs to this year's production run sans a bit of early rise in the tip and tail and sans a bit of camber as per Jared.

    One thing is for sure, I am AMAZED at how light these planks are.

    Please do!!! I spoke to a guy at Snowbird last Tuesday and he says the new A-Lotta w/rocker just kills it! Said they're a lot easier to ski than you would think and plans to use them as his daily driver and will suppliment with a 180 race stock gs ski for inbetween good days. I am looking forward to trying a pair of these!!!

    Using a 140mm waisted ski as a daily drive is ridiculous.
    That ski must be incredible.

    ^^^ I thought the exact same thing - not sure I'd want them as a daily driver (my 185 Motherships RULE!) but when there's new snow I bet they'll shred! Would also like to try the new 194 D-Sender too...

    Line Prototype 150

    180-150-170

    Trial version with R&D Line Team Riders. Eventual final product is Line EP Pro.

    This rivals the Fatypus any day!

    Not really. It's maple wood core, fairly stiff, more more of a medium flex. It is a sweet ski to hit the deep PNW crud. If you can find one. Only five produced.

    Oh, wow that's really different than the current EP Pro.
    Have you tried the A-Lotta?
    And if you have, how do they compare?

    I talked to a guy at Snowbird a few weeks back & says the I-Rock is just stupid fun!!! It has become his "go to" ski and thinks he'll ski them most of the year - I guess I really need to try that one as well - heard the same from a few others in here...

    PS: That Line proto 150 sounds cool - BTW if anyone runs across a team stock 205cm Salomon AK Swallowtail please let me know!

    I was going to buy a pair of Fatypus skis in 2007, until I saw the Line Prototypes pop up on E-bay. I'm sure they ski similarly, except that the Line Proto doesn't have any rocker.

    The EP Pro has a lot of rocker vs the Prototype, Plus the Prototype was way too short for the Team Riders. But, good for a short guy like myself.

    ^ Mate your a tool. They are 150mm wide. 180-150-170. As they are lines i would guess the length is 186, seems to be their standard

    Actually, they are 170's. Like I said, they proved to be too short for Line's Team Riders, therefore didn't get put into production.

    I guess my point is that these skis are similar to the Fatypus Alottas. Or should I say the "old" Alottas. The new ones with the rocker are probably far superior in deep powder.

    So your friend thinks the I-Rock is versatile enough for skiing most conditions?
