I finnally have gathered enough money to buy a new pair of skis for next season, im debating wether to choose between

Bents
JJ's
Benchetlers - depending on price
EP Pros

i would love to have some input on which would be the most fun in pow days, BC booters, and a little bit of park. I rode a pair of line blends this year and did not like the stiffness, i really want a playful fat ski for backcountry and park.

Any of those would be a good choice. Searchbar each of those and you will find a ton of info that will help you make a decision. In the future, this should go in gear talk.

next time post this in gear talk

anyway, the ep pro's are bacically softest out of all of the skis mentioned, very playful and easy to butter with. the hellbents are also pretty soft, and are a super fun backcountry booters ski, and really great in deep pow. i think some hellbents would be money for you. although i don't know enough about the bent chetlers to really say anything. the jjs are a stiffer ski then the other ones and are meant for steep lines and such not really for playing around in pow and booters. oh and i've heard from ppl that ride bents, that they're super fun in the park too.

You should consider Moment Night Trains. Similar ski with a good price.

seems like you're choosing between really soft skis and stiff(er) skis...guess it depends on what you want when you're not skiing deep pow
