i heard from our regional 4frnt rep that the 190 ehp is the same ski as the big black vct from the season prior. soooo it should ski a lot (exactly) like that one. i'm sure some people on here have skied that model.

the 193 is NOT a resort ski. get the 190. The 93 is a totally different ski than the 90

I've got a buddy who is basically using the 93's as his resort ski, and he loves them. He's a really solid big mountain skier, so don't expect to turn these things more than about 4 times each run. But if you do plan on skiing everything mach 30 and find comfort in the fact that if you run into a rock or animal it will probably explode, these skis are for you.

I don't see why you couldn't use the 193 as a resort ski, the lack of camber shouldn't cause much of a problem, especially if you're using it primarily for fresh days.

lack of camber on a ski that big will make it straight up scary to ski if you're on a steep icy slope.

Mosty true, but it also depends on how big you are. And some people on here never ski a steep, icy slope.

Or Baker, anywhere in Utah, alot of Colorado, Mt. Hood, Alaska...lots of places get tons of snow and would be prime stomping grounds for the 193s...

i know you wouldn't normally, but if you would run into one on your way back to the lift. i guess you just have to take into consideration how often you might run into a run like that.

Oh definitely, I was just saying that if you live where there is alot of soft snow, this could be a great ski, naturally you'd have to adapt your style to suit the skis, but I think they could be a solid choice for a large, charging pow ski. But for variable conditions something a tad shorter and with camber would be preferred.

i skied on the 193's for one run thats all it took to realise they are scary mother fuckers. if you ski these everyday you are the man. i ski on my 179 seths for everything. the other week i skied on next years labs, i think there 197's and 107mm in the waist, nearly center mounted they were a blast had to be charging if i wanted to turn but were real stable, deffinitly handled better on piste then the ehp, i know 2 guys that ride there EHP on big lines and love um, but you have to be a charger, if your not you won't have fun on them.
