4FRNT Skis EHP Ski - 2009 BCS

EHP's have been an awesome ski since the first production. Stiff, fast, and hard-charging, just like Hoji- my favorite skier. These are not for you if you don't know what you're doing on the slopes. Don't buy these skis unless you are completely confident in your abilities. Buy these skis if you are certain you are going to make jaws drop with your incredible slaying skills. Not much for playfulness or forgiveness, this ski demands a competent pilot. They're still nimble and agile enough to negotiate rocky mountain and west coast slopess, but like the war off 1812, they aren't for New England. (Anyone get that reference?) Don't take 'em through the woods in Maine and Vermont, is all I'm trying to say.
These are great skis. I can't wait for the Renegades to come out! Bigger and Badder, oh yeah!

These are fantastic skis for any kind of soft snow, and if you don't mind making long turns (or skidding short ones) they are very respectable on groomers for a ski that is 116 underfoot and has very little sidecut. I had a pair of 186's and recently swapped them for the 179's, as I ski a lot of trees and tighter terrain where the shorter length will be more manageable.

When traveling I take these skis and no other pairs, as I know they'll be do just fine regardless of snow conditions. I am a little annoyed that Backcountry dropped the price on these by $80 a few weeks after I purchased mine, but the skis themselves are a blast.

I bought these skis because I recently purchased a used Subaru that came equipped with an empty ski rack. I didn’t want to look like a poser to other drivers and am no good with tools, so I invested in these babies. Life changing.

As soon as I started driving around with these expertly designed sticks strapped to my hood, I began noticing jealous salivating stares from raccoon tanned men. The next thing that started happening blew my mind. These men were following me like paparazzi flies on Britney Spears dookie. Anytime I pull over I get a barrage of would be boyfriends asking for my phone number and wondering if I wanted to meet them at (Insert ski bar name, i.e. Mollies, Tram Club, etc) later. Needless to say, my social/love life is thriving. There isn’t a night that passes lonely, I’ve canceled my eHarmony and match.com subscriptions and I’m planning to use the money for ski bunny style clothing and accessories.

I recommend these skis to all my single girlfriends Subaru or no. Get that Yakima rack, get these skis, and get the guy of your dreams. My friend Kristy did it and she’s already been proposed to…TWICE.

This is my go to off trail ski, The harder you ski it the better it skis. Plenty of surface area to tackle any off-piste conditions. Flat camber, a little bit of regular sidecut make this ski very manageable on packed snow to get back to the lifts. This is by far one of the most versatile ski shapes available. The Tail shape of the 186 and 179 taper down reducing to allow the tip of the ski to float up and reduce running edge, which makes the ski much more playful. The 193 has a flatter square tail for those pushing the speed limit. This ski will open up terrain to those building confidence in the off piste and reward those who push their own limits.

Yeah after year, this is one of my favorite skis to get onto at the ski demos. Rock solid and stable, you can charge even the crappiest snow on these. It's not as surfy and soft as a lot of rocker style skies, but that helps to make it extra stable at speed and really fun to cruise around on when you hit the groomers. They're a little hefty, but still super nimble when you need them to be. The 186cm is the money length.

The early rise tip and tail gives the float like a reverse camber ski but the zero camber keeps you dialed in on the crud. Ski is bomb proof and can crunch over rocks. It amazingly comes out looking clean. Some of the coolest ski graphics to date in my opinion. Only downside is the weight. For touring this is not the ideal ski. Its a heavy setup even when I use my touring boots. I have Fritshi Freerides on them which beats the Marker Dukes in weight. Great ski for in bounds and slack country but leave them at home on a long day.
