Looking to buy a pow ski to add to my quiver. I was wondering if anyone my size or larger had skied on Ep Pros. I have heard from some smaller dudes that they are scary soft and had therefore been looking for a 189 Hellbent but haven't been able to find any. I'm mostly worried that the tails will wash out completely or even shoot out from under me if I land even slightly in the back seat. Thanks in advance for the help.

i have a pair of 179 hellbents and have not washed out on them
it takes a little getting used to but i tihnk youd do well on 179 or 189 hb
im 6"2" and 160 pounds and love the skis
ep pros though are softer so you may wash out on them a little easier

im 6'1" 190lbs and have been riding the ep's all year and i can tell you that if your worried about washing out then go with the 189 hellbent. they are stiffer than the ep's which are fucking buttery soft.  you've gotta land everything perfectly if your dropping anything and on super deep days i had trouble keeping my skis on after dropping cliffs, seriously if it was super deep and i landed perfectly i would pop out just because they flexed so much.  they are sick tho dont get me wrong, they are just incredibly soft, almost to soft if you ask me.

go with the bents.

my 2 cents.
