As the thread says is their anywhere around washington to rent hellbents, ep pros etc. Several shops ive seen carry them but dont rent them. It would be nice to try them before I drop 600+ to buy them. Thanks.

I don't think shops rent them.  They are "expert" level skis so the common person won't want them, so I doubt it's worth it for shops to put demo bindings on them.  Most people that rent from shops are n00bz.  Your best bet would be a demo day at Stevens or somewhere.  I know that Stevens had a demo day earlier this season and Line had a booth and they had a ton of skis.  they didn't have rockered skis for everyone but I bet if you are nice the reps would let you use their personal EP's or whatever.  The guy was gonna let me use his but then I had to leave or something.  Of use a friends to try them out.

ended up paying mtnlion over on tgr 30  bucks for a pair of 135's.

fit like a glove, so stoked to have brakes finally.

no rockered skis at the shop on the mountain, and im pretty sure the glacier ski shop doesnt have any rockered skis.

Those are so sick.  I would buy them and mount with dukes if I had the money. 

We have 186 4frnt ehp's at glacier ski shop.  Its a fun ski, great for slaying windblown/ weird pow, cut up pow, pillows and spines, but kind of hard on larger cliffs.  $35 a day I think.

Thread... I know it's probably been long time waiting for someone to hook you up with rockered skis. I've got three pairs for demo: The 4FRNT EHP, The Line EP Pro, and The Armada ARG.

And if you happened to like teh ARG's I've still got a pair kicking here, at 10% off right now. Come in sometime soon and check them out. Bring your boots and we'll set you up. Call ahead if you're interested in the EP Pro, it's at home. 

Late,
