I'd go with the EP Pros out those three. But we don't have any info on you so it's hard to say which is best for you.

Either what the first guy said or bents.  EPs are too soft and czars arent big enough for bottomless days

yeah, the bents are probably best for you. Or look into Surfaces - they renamed their skis this year and I can't remember what they renamed the Live Life 2 to - I think it's the One Life though.

i have never rode the hellbents or the EP pros but i rode the czar in alaska and really did not like them, i found them hard to turn because of the lack of side cut i think, the are basically a straight ski.  just my 2 cents

Czars are more of a big mountain ski, with less rocker in the tip, no tail rocker, and a pretty stiff flex. Hellbents and EPs are BC Jib skis. Tip and tail rocker, softer flex, and wider waist. I dont know what type of skiing you want to do with them, but right now, I would say get the Hellbents-I have them and love them, they are stiffer than the EP, but softer than the Czar, and seem to be in the middle of those options. They can also charge lines and stomp cliffs really well, whereas you would have a little harder time with the EPs-they would want to flex out and wheelie off cliff if you land a little far back. Get the Bents!

i skied czars for the second half of the day at castle last year in over a 100cm's and they killed it. when its super deep i would rather get down in that shit and get it all in and around my mouth.
