The EP is a tool, meaning, its designed to slash/shred/butter POW. period

There are so many different shapes and designs of skis these days. Progression of the ski is another aspect that we forget to look at and accept. This being said, the EP, is one act of this progression. If we all dressed, looked, and ripped on skis in the same manner, skiing could turn black and white. In order to keep things interesting, we all have our own methods and styles of skiing. The EP is simply one of those styles(aka "another tool in the tool box"). Sure, this ski isn't the best tool for staying in control inbounds. Hint this isnt what Eric had in mind when designing this guy. Although, 1st chair/unclaimed resort pow lines can turn this ski into a miracle. Lets just say, your kinda along for the ride once you hit the chop, tracked, and iced areas. In "POWDER" this ski DOES WORK. If u can only grab one pair of sticks for the winter and 80% of your riding is inbounds, this might not be the ski for your "toolbox". Line Bacons, Atomic Bent CHets, Armada JJ, or similar skis probably fit your needs much better. These designs still murder Deep stuff and are a much more versatile tool. But when im heading to the Uinta's to slash some freshies in the backcountry, u better bet the EP's are strapped to the sled.
