4FRNT Skis EHP Ski - 2009

The highly celebrated 4FRNT EHP returns for the 09/10 season with increased rocker in the tip for even better maneuverability and stability in variable snow. Its long turning radius loves to make giant turns down huge faces, but the added rocker means you won't be afraid to take it in the trees.

  • Flat camber underfoot lets you smear sideways in pow or tip on edge to turn on hardpack
  • Tapered tip and tail prevent hooking when you point it out
  • HI-LITEblock wood core provides light weight and bomber durability

Bottom Line: Hoji goes even bigger because of this ski.

EHP rocks

By:
January 21, 2010

Hey i got the EHPs in 186 this season with marker dukes. I'm 6'2'' and 185lbs and 16years old. Ive always been more into big mountain and backcountry then in Park riding. Now im living one year here in canmore (home town of eric) and his cousin gave me the tip to get those skis, bought them......and i LOVE them. They are pretty stiff but i like it that way, so you can straight line a lot, drop cliffs without problems and land the right way. I even take them for park riding and do backflips and frontflips of the kickerline in sunshine village with them! And they are fun on groomers too, long turning radius but fun.
And if i am scared dropping a cliff, im always sayin, these are Erics pro models, they are made for stuff like that. So they push me too.
Even though for touring they are great, with the dukes they are a bit heavy but a lot of fun on the way down.
The flat construction and the slight rocker fit perfect to this ski........I never want to have another ski then the EHP.

How do these match up to the Rossi S7's?

How do these match up to the Rossi S7's?

The S7 (with the exception of the 195cm length) is a softer, more playful ski. It is a more versatile ski. The S7 has a much wider tip compared to its tail, and has a lot of sidecut. It is much turnier ski. The EHP is a much straighter ski with very little sidecut. It is also considerably stiffer. Both are great in pow, but the EHP is a much better crud ski, as it is stiffer, and meant to be more of a big mountain charging ski. The EHP is also easier to smear and slash turns with, and skis, in the soft stuff, more similarly to a reverse camber/reverse sidecut ski. The S7 has a lot more camber, so it skis a lot better on firmer snow. Both are great skis, but it really comes down to what conditions you ski most often, and what conditions you plan on skiing them in.

Get that Yakima rack, get these skis, and get the guy of your dreams.

By:
January 21, 2010

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.

I would say it depends on how well you ski and the type of skiing you will be doing. Keep in mind that rockered skis tend to ski a bit shorter. Overall I would say go with the 186. Hope this helps!

4Frnt EHP - Snowbird

By: Backcountry.com Employee
January 8, 2010

This is last years 186 4Frnt EHP. These skis are very stable at speed and almost feel a little reverse sidecut-ish in choppy/soft snow. Great ski for sure!

P.S. to see video of this line go to www.skijosh.com

Can't wait for the Renegades!

By:
January 1, 2010

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 skis, 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!

My go to off trail ski

By:
December 20, 2009

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.

Still Rules It

By: Backcountry.com Employee
October 15, 2009

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.
