Trying to decide between 186 EHP's and 188 S7's. I am 5'10.5" 160 lbs., and ski Big Sky and Moonlight Basin. i am 19, an aggressive expert skier, and i usually prefer a stiffer ski. I have Volkl Karmas for everyday skiing and Volkl M-Rocks with Fritschi Freerides for touring.

This year, I want to get a ski for: (in no particular order)

- pow days
- 2 or 3 days following pow day in trees
- Headwaters - steep skiing
- cliff drops up to about 30-35 feet

so, which one do ya'll think is the better choice?
thanks,
blake

I don't know too much about the EHP, but I was finally able to get my hands on a pair of S7's after the 4th or 5th shop. I did not purchase the skis. I wanted to see them first hand because I was very intrigued by the shape, rocker,as well as the new approach by Rossignol. The thing that I was not expecting about these skis is how soft the tip really is. I'm also in the market for a new ski and have been tossing these skis around in my head as well as a few others. Play with both in the shop first and make your decision based on what feels best for your riding ability/style.
