4FRNT EHP freeride ski

The 4FRNT EHP freeride ski is designed by pro skier Eric Hjorleifson for big moutain and backcountry skiing.

The EHP is the perfect blend between traditional ski design and reverse camber/side-cut skis to provide a versatile, stable platform in all types of snow.

The design delivers incredible float and speed in soft snow but still has plenty of forgiveness and agility around the mountain.

The EHP has zero camber, elongated tip and tail rocker, and is available in three lengths.

The EHP is wide enough, and stiff enough, for the deepest days and the steepest lines but also quick enough for the tightest trees.

Pivot and smeer your turns or point 'em and huck.

As written by Eric Hjorleifson (Canada): I designed the EHP with a goal to create a ski that utilizes the concept behind reverse camber/sidecut skis but still incorporates traditional ski design to provide a versatile, stable platform in all types of snow. The long gradual tip/tail shape gives the ski great floatation in powder and enables you to wash, plane, and scrub your turns creating a surf like sensation. The long tip/tail shape also gives the EHP a shorter turning surface, making them more responsive and easier to turn on hardpack. The tail shape was designed to maximize performance in pow. The pintail shape sinks into the snow allowing a more forward mounting position giving the ski a much more responsive, centered, and balanced feel.

The EHP's are the most versatile and fun ski I have ever used. They surf the powder, are very stable at high speeds and you can throw them sideways in the pow and totally scrub your speed without actually making a turn. Yet when you get to the end of your pow stash and hit firm snow the EHP handles it no problem. I could not believe how responsive they were on hard pack the first time I skied them especially since I designed them primarily to surf the pow.

As written by Torgrim Vole (Norway): The EHP 186 is the softer big-mountain alternative. If you're not too heavy, this ski gives you more response than the longer models and is my favorite ski for cruising powder by far. The most surprising thing about the EHP is that it is (being as big as it is) really easy to maneuver, even through the tight Norwegian woods.

As written by CR Johnson (USA): The EHP 186 has brought the sport of skiing to a whole new level of fun, that I never even knew about. This ski is the ultimate powder tool, and also rips all conditions. I have taken it out on the deepest days, icy days, every day in between, and couldn't be happier about the performance. With the new design Eric has brought to the table, this ski can be the most aggressive ski and a very playful ski at the same time. It all depends on how you want to ski it. You have the control.

As written by Wiley Miller (USA): Surfboards baby. This ski surfs down the mountain. I love to take it out when I know I'm gonna be dropping some vert that day. The no-camber, mellow-sidecut, and early rise tip make for a perfect pow pow surfer. The semi-soft poppiness makes it easy to pop out of the snow on natural take-offs. Basically the most fun pow ski I've ever ridden.

As written by Charles Bedard (Canada): Skiing in the backcountry where the powder never dies, I found the EHP the best all around ski to satisfy every features these mountains have to offer. You will find the stiffness you are looking for at high speed turns and aggressive as well as enjoying is softer side in cruising true the trees or bouncing from pillows to pillows. As is that wasn't enough yet, the EHP allow me also to charge any kind of kickers, it brings a nice different touch from the start of your tricks all the to way to the landing, when you stomp the hell out of it!
