Pretty solid ski, depends on how fat you want to go though.  They have a very natural and predictable feel and are not too soft or stiff either.

Dude, just an FYI, this is a shitty thread.  Where do you ski?  What is your weight/height?  Skiing ability?  Pow/park/all mountain?

Come on, buying skis is a personal thing, and it doesn't matter what anyone else says.  Personally I think they're great [for me], but you need to tell us about you.  The EP pros are good skis too but I wouldn't recommend them for a park rat.

That still doesn't tell us anything. Again like blondie said, I love my brigades but that doesn't help you at all. We need height, weight, skiing ability, where is he going to be on the mountain percentage wise, I'm sure it isn't 100% BC.

Okay, now we have something.  It seems like you ski mostly out of the park (pow and all mountain), and the occasional park run.  BCs would be fine for that, that's what I bought mine for.  Depending on how much BC you do, you might want something fatter: they're only 98 in the waist.  To make up for that though, they're stiff enough to charge yet not totally two by fours.

There is another review in which someone gave them a one, but that kid is a bitch, its a waste of time to read it.
