You made a sick decision! I have been on my EPs the last 3 days even thought the snow kinda sucks here.. Such a fun ski, I don't know how Line did it, they flex like noodles but they still rip on groomers! I mounted mine +1 of the line and they kill it. So stoked on these skis. You are in for a treat!

The EP Pro is a super fun ski, but unfortunatley, it really doesn't "rip" anywhere. It is a super soft ski that is incredibly playful in powder, and I suppose if you want it on the groomed (as long as it is soft groomed rather than ice) they would do fine. But as I am sure you know, when you get them into any sort of crud, heavy semi-chopped pow, ice, or anything semi sketch, they are not much of a ski.

Don't get me wrong, I had the skis and loved them for what they were made for, but telling kids that they rip all over the mountain no matter the conditions is simply false.

yeah i know i'm planning on using them only for powder but i'm pretty sure i will be able to handle them on some other terrain, i have ridden some pretty bad skis here cause here in chile you don't have much ski choices

depends, sometimes they leave it there, sometimes they don't.  If they don't they will usually try 2 more times, and if no one is still there, then it goes to the local ups/fedex/dhl station where you can pick them up.

most likely not.  I had a package sitting in front of my place at Alpine for a week and it was just a little snowy.  it should be okay.

It's unlikely that your skis will get stolen or anything.

i have so much more respect for you right now.

i can't handle the ep pros at all.  they work in powder and get by at best everywhere else.

i'll agree they are a dope pow ski, but man, i'm not a big fan.

I'm just sick of kids who don't know how to ski well saying that really soft skis rip everywhere, because they don't.

as for nico,  sounds like he got what he wanted.  and even sicker for a south american poster.
