Feeler: LINE EP PROS (pretty much NEW)

Not positive I'm ready to sell these, but I thought I'd see what kind of interest I get. 07/08 185 EP Pros. 4 DAYS OF RIDING! Not a typo... in the 3 seasons I've owned them, I've only deemed 4 days "EP Pro worthy". As a result, they've only seen soft powder. They could easily pass as brand new. Mounted once at center with Salomon Z12s. I'm at school right now so I can't take an pictures, but I'll put some up later if there's interest. Any offers?

I'd consider trades for a good all-mountain ski around 172-175 (stiff, light, responsive, 90-100 waist)... Line Blends, Liberty Hazmat, Rossi S5, Volkl Bridge... in similar shape.

Pics will be up tomorrow morning!

As you can see, they're pretty much brand new... they've just been mounted on my wall.

Right now (mid-Feb), the running price for them new is about $600. So, I figured -20% for being 2 seasons old = $480. Then, -10% for being drilled once =$432. Finally -$32 to even things out =$400+shipping.

Minus being drilled, they're basically new. Make me an offer.

Yeah? That's the first time I've heard someone call the ARVs stiff. I'm looking for something with more of a Line Blend flex...

i think your opinion on what is "stiff" and what is "soft" for skis is quite off...

You should check out Salomon Shoguns. Much slimmer but they are great for what you are looking for. I am guessing if you want something a little wider, maybe get the cash and wait for the Salomon Czar next season. Same dimensions as this year but with bamboo like the Shogun.

+K for sick ski and such a legit price.

I second that. I was riding a buddies pair one day, and was coming from Hellbents(similar to EP's) and they seemed to be exactly what you are looking for. Stiff yet responsive.

Yeah, I've been looking into the Shoguns, but I'm worried that I'll be sacrificing too much park performance (specifically rail/switch). Can you guys comment on that? I'm looking to do 70% park, 20% all-mountain, 10% powder, and want a ski that can handle it all.

it wasn't an opinion. i was just under the impression that they were more of a all/big mountain ski and therefore were on the stiffer side of the spectrum. and i know what a soft ski is, i ride lizzies

sounds like just straight chronics is a good fit. why do you want the blends? $200 for new chronics from d-structure. get on that

Haha... they are pretty goddamn awesome... but living in Southern California and only taking a couple trips to Tahoe/Mammoth a year, I'm pretty limited on how often I can use them. My park skis, on the other hand, have seen better days.

RJD2, I looked into the Chronics, but I'm interested in a ski with a 95ish waist... thanks for the input, though!

Yeah zero rail performance. It is not a ski to take onto rails at all.


Switch it rides fine, I ride them switch all over my mountain, which is rather a hill actually .. 7 springs.

How about Rossignol S3? One of the park guys at Stevens rides them, and they seem to kill it in the park, and they should be able to handle pow just fine.

I've actually been looking pretty seriously in the S3s, but I'm just worried they will not be stiff enough...

Thanks for the comments on the S3... living in Southern California, I never really get a chance to hold a ski before I buy it; I have to just go by what I hear.

Hey man... can't trade for S7s... I'm looking for a smaller and narrower all-mountain ski. Thanks for the offer, though...
