The Bentchetler mini hands down.  On top of the (of course the larger version for me, haha) Bentchetler being a sick pow ski, the EP Pro is an awful ski.

My opinion which was shared by several others who rode both.

Anything in the 160s would be far too big IMO, I'm on 169 and I'm 5'7

good thing 169 cm is 5'5" and you said your 5'7". I'm 5'8" and riding 177 abangs, im an inch taller and my skis are 8 cm taller and right at the top of my head

and for the thread anything in the mid/high 160's would be good to you and as far as the ski i havent ridin either, because i live in MI but i have only heard good things about the ep pros

Why would anyone ever recommend something they haven't ridden?

At slow speeds and it's knee deep and fresh at all times.  Then they'll be awesome.  Otherwise a pussy ski.

this is mostly an issue of a skier being able to handle his shit. some people can charge on eps and some can barely make a turn in pow on them.

check out the S7's i hear great things about the S3 and S7, i assume your a good rider, and these are good powderskis, where you can throw down tricks too.
