Here's the scoop: As mentioned in the text above, this years shapes are all based on last season's 186cm. It's a zero camber ski w/ early rise tips and tails. The 'rocker' isn't as exaggerated as say a Pontoon or the ARG, it's more mellow (think ObSethed). Also, it is a bit stiffer than what you'd expect from a flat camber/rocker/whatever kind of ski. I skied it last season at Snowbasin, UT late on a pow day and was really impressed with its stability in chopped up, skied out snow. This ski isn't a lazy surfer like my Pontoons, rather you'd be better off getting forward on these and really driving them. Oh, and if you're into it, mach 10 switch turns feel way safe on this rig. For the record, I'm 5'8" and 135lbs and was feeling sassy on the 186cm. I got to try quite a few of this season's skis last year and the EHP was definitely one of my favorites. Git some!
