Dream run of my life on my new rockered skis

so this morning, i had my new ep pros mounted up with sth 12's. we got like 20 or 25 cm of snow overnight, and we dropped into kyber's off of peak chair on whistler. all i have to say is that THESE SKIS ARE CHEATING it is too easy to ski powder with them! the technology works so so well i can't even explain to you, you just have to try it. like skiing trees for example, you just look where you want to go and they go there for you. you can't really lean back (or forwards when going switch) because they are so soft, you just ski with a centered stance and they do the rest. my oh my i think life has changed for me now. if you like powder you must TRY ROCKERED SKIS it is no joke

for real, the sensation of skiing powder is good enough. but when you get the right tools for it, it is truly amazing. no words can describe it.

the HBs are the same... absolutely unexplainable, you just have to try them.

i skied my friend's hellbents, and because the ep's are so much softer, they float even better than hellbents, believe it or not... the tip and tail just bend like crazy out of the snow. but don't get me wrong, the bents are also very, very very soft. hellbents were a bit better on hardpack though

Darn this makes me angry. I'm in the same position as you except mine weren't mounted til late tonight. I will get tomorrow though, pray that it dumps up here again. Also, they're hellbents not ep pros.

fine, the quickness of the ski is not really affected in comparison to a normal cambered ski in a similar width. The only place where i notice the skis performance drop is on super hard pack but that makes sense.

they just ski themselves you just look where you want to go and you go there, they are so effortless.
