hahaha, very funny. And, while my poor/not poor state changes a lot, i actually dont have that much gear, certainly less then you considering the 120s and the 138s you just ordered. And, i still want some EHPs

I'm with you dude. A 183 -185 would be fun. That would be the ski that starts to get me buying one of these rockered shapes...

just ribbin' ya.

and i am lucky with the dp order...but just like everybody else, the money's coming from somewhere (work).

for the record, i'd love to try the 193, although they have no practical purpose for me other than in a heli or far away from the resort. (which, i think, is the point...they shound perfect with those dimensions/length..and anything less would be a waste.)

Seriously, we need to lobby 4Front for the Touring/Tele/”My mountain is only 1,800 feet vertical and has trees” version of the EHP. Or convince PMG to blatantly steal the design and make a version of those of us on the Pink Team. Tyrone, you’re not a afraid of a little patent infringement are you?

Tyrone may not be afraid but I know two people who would be very unhappy with this if it went down ;)

Ahh, just the man I was hoping would see where this thread has gone. Can my people talk to your people talk to someone important about creating such a ski in a 183-5ish length?????

but aren't there plenty of 'small' and 'medium' mountain skis out there? :D

wasn't splat lamenting the fact that the ARG was very similar to the dimensions of the lotus in another thread? probably not the best person to ask to blatantly copy a design.

It is, if you ski a mountain with a Tram (Heavenly doesn’t count).

What if your mountain has a Tram and a tunnel :eek: I bet 193 EHPs will be way easier to navigate through the tunnel than something with traditional shape :D

I'm sure Ty could make those for you, Greydon.

What's the difference between a tele ski and an alpine ski?

The smell.

Splat: According to the tele industry, they have to be small, easy to turn, light and easy to tour with, along with easily disposable. That right there is the biggest difference. Oh and make sure they are at least 2 or 3 years behind the curve for alpine skis. Seems to work well for K2s tele line :(

That's why slim is a PM Gear ski engineer.
He knows this stuff.

That could be arranged. PM or email me and we'll figure it out.

So the EHP has been elusive around these parts....Haven't even had a chance to fondle it... Know of any deals floating around?

Unfortunately it's going to be a pretty limited release so deals will be very hard to come by. Skis are shipping out to suppliers now so they'll start popping up at a shop near you (maybe)...

Man...they don't even have a Wyoming dealer...

Would be sooo tempted with a group buy....

It is already a 193. If you want them to step it up, lets see something like a 200 :eek:

As would I but it sounds like they might be hard to get a hold of this season so I'd be surprised if any one shop or even 4Frnt will have the stock to fulfill a group buy. If anyone knows anyone who is a 4Frnt dealer then it might be worth looking into though...
