DEMO THEM FIRST, MOTHERFUCKER...
I'm sick of these Hellbent/EP Pro/Other super fat rockered ski "what should my parents buy me?" threads.. but here goes.
If you cant demo them, than just pick one based on how heavy you are..
if you are over about 180, the EP pros are reall going to be a little too soft.. at least from what I have heard from people demo'n them this season.
the Hellbents are more practical because they have several sizes.. the 179 size is pretty much perfect run of the mill for the average person on this site... pending they arent a fat noob who shouldnt even get on a pair of these...

Id steer clear of any fks series bindings with the fat skis because of the narrow screw pattern on the heel. They will be more prone to rip out.

All the Hell bents I've seen have been mounted with Marker Jesters. Now I'[ve never ridden the hell bent to any mentaionable extent so I couldn't tell you if thats the right binding. But I do ride the Jesters on my Chronics and I love them.
I've heard people say good things about both the Deadbolts and the Rossis.

lol
But if was you id look into the binding that everyone should have on every pair of skis...
Rossi turntables, they dont make them anymore they just stopped this year but its pretty fucking easy to get a pair for not too much.

I've found most skiing shops around big mountains will sell them. If you are stuck over in the east coast then try this:
http://www.backcountry.com/store/GGG0062/G3-Ski-Leash.html
Thats a pretty good price and backcountry.com is great for getting stuff on time.
All times are Eastern (-5)
