Hellbents or EP Pros

[linepowder]

hey wondering if you could help me out... I'm 6'2 175 and live at a resort with tons of powder.. i mostly go where the powder is, wondering which is the best ski no matter the price.

 

[GreenStezz]

bents......

 

[skiEER]

i think eps would be too soft for you

 

[GreenStezz]

or the K2 99s.........

 

[JamesR]

i hope none of these threads get deleted and 20 years from now i can log on ns and laugh at the absurd amount but go for the bentssss

 

[Balto]

if this is gonna be a ski for just pow. and with you weight I would say arg or donnar parties

 

[mike_d]

With your weight, i'd say go with the hellbents, or check out the bluehouse maven.

hey man, I am the same size as you exactly and ride the same way as you stated. Coming from me, do not be afraid to give the EP pros a try. I have them and absolutely love them. They are super soft, which is semi crappy on crud, but for pow they are amazing. Anyway, good luck in your search.

 

[skiRay]

uhh 189 bents.

i dont know that much about the EPs

 

[newgard]

no question. get the 189 hell bent.

 

[freeskimccoy]

the ep's would be way to soft for you, i would suggest bibbys, the length is pefect, ime roughly the same size as you, or bents would be legit, get 179's unless you are not planing on bc jibbing alot.

 

[marc_sncl]

i am the exact same height and weight as you except i don't live anywhere near to a resort with good powder, and even i would get the ep pros

 

[BcPowderHunter]

189 hellbents ftw, EP's will be to soft

 

[cobra_commander]

Out of those two I would recomend the Hellbent over the EP pro, One of my friends road EP's all last year (he got something like 100 powder days) and wishes he had gotten the Hellbents, their stiffer which makes them just that much more stable.

I would also widen your range to include the armada ARG, and the Moment Donor Party, and Bibby pro. The Bibby is stiffer, which really helps on stabalizing the ski in more variable snow conditions. The nice thing with rocker is that you don't need such a soft ski for powder as you normally would.

 

[joggl]

get a salomon rocker!

192

sidecut 147-127-137

nose rocker and swallowtail...

sick thing!!! a friend bought the bents, but they re so damn soft!!! the rockers are really stiff and ski insane!

 

[linepowder]

192 is too much length. but i have considered them thanks

 

[JaySkier107]

ep pros are so much lighter and playful but bents do slay pow so its a hard decision

 

[Jballz]

if you like a softer ski go for the eps, but if you like them a bit stiffer then go with the bents. skied the new bents a few weeks ago and loved them very fun ski
