the cr's are not good for touring, so if your looking to do any skinning dont. if your purely just gonna ride lifts and pow, i would trade the cr's for the ep's. they run better in hardpack and such if you feel like taking a break on a groomer.

from my experience, CRJs kinda ski like planks. not really that lively, not too playful, and you can't really put them on edge and expect them to turn, as they have almost no sidecut.

cheers guys, im not planning on doing an skinning on them but im also not bothered at all about there hardpack performance (iv got other skis to use if im not planning on skiing pow all day) im just looking for the pros/cons in pow. iv skiied the eps for a week and love them but i found while doing backflips the tails would kinda wash out on landing cos of the soft felx (maybee i havent quite got the hang of skiing them with all my weight forward yet, its the first super fat/rockered ski iv skiied properly) how would the crj's compare for this kinda thing. also i am reluctant to swap cos of how much fun i had on the eps, they just feel like your surfing on clouds!

yeah i would say keep your ep's. the cr's are pretty much as opposite to the ep's as you can get

as i said, CRJs ski like planks. this means that the tail will be much stiffer than the EPs, but they also just dont feel that good to ski on.
