4FRNT Skis EHP Alpine Ski

The 4FRNT EHP is back, and its been training all summer for this years deep-powder huckstompathon. All three sizes of Eric Hjorliefsons 08/09 EHP Pro Model series are now cast on the popular zero-camber design of last years 186cm version, with 4FRNTs new HI-LITEblock wood core and damp Q-45weave glass layup. Thanks to an extremely early rise in the tip and tail, the EHP looks like a slightly flattened full-reverse-camber skiand it floats and smears like one in powderbut the flat, traditional sidecut underfoot provides much better hold and stability when you pop out onto the catwalk, open up the throttle in crud, or hit a patch of wind buff. The GS-length turn radius means the EHP is most comfortable ripping big, fast turns like the kind Eric prefers, but we found the shorter lengths reasonably maneuverable, at least out here in the West.
