Product Info
We know you want to ski like Hoji, but if you want to get the goods on a regular basis, you're going to want to tour like Hoji, too. Try a pair of the born-in-the-Whiteroom 4FRNT Raven Skis and see what you've been missing in life. Made not only to excel on the uphill, but for people who keep their foot firmly on the gas on the descent as well, the Raven is 2 millimeters wider for 2017 with a new Neo Core and five carbon stringers for added stiffness and power - all while dropping weight. If you're a confirmed backcountry nut who happens to believe a variety of turn shapes adds to the spice of the touring experience, the Raven will be right up your alley.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Flat Camber – The oxymoron pretty much says it all - rocker in front, flat underfoot, and rocker in the tail.
Shape
Tapered Tip and Tail
Core
Neo Core – Clear Aspen with Maple inserts and 5 reinforcing stringers of carbon - light, even flexing and with excellent binding retention.
Laminates
VibeVeil™ – Vibration drastically reduces confidence. The VibeVeil elastic membrane situated in the tips of 4FRNT rockered skis dramatically reduces chatter and weak edge hold, the result of extended negative radius profiles in ski tips when used in varied to firm snow conditions. All skis featuring VibeVeil have a transparent window logo highlighting the very material used in each ski.
Sidewalls
Semi-Cap Construction – Cap construction in combination with an ABS sidewall underfoot provides the best in durability and performance. Carbon stringers featured in Raven and Renegade only.
Base
Sintered HD Base – Great glide for all ski conditions.
Graphics
Reversible Graphics – Like a reversible jacket, the skis look great no matter which foot you put them on.
Artist – Devin Soisson
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Terrain:
All-Mountain, Alpine Touring
More
Terrain
All-Mountain All-mountain skis are designed to handle anything you throw at them including powder, ice, groomers, steeps, heavy snow, and everything in between, but they aren’t necessarily a master of any one terrain. If you’re only going to own one ski to do it all, this is what you want. All-mountain skis generally have what we call mid-fat waists that range from 80-110 mm. Alpine Touring Also known as backcountry skis, alpine touring (AT) skis are designed for going uphill as well as downhill. These skis are typically light for their width and many feature fittings that accept climbing skins. AT skis vary in width and weight, with the wider heavier versions usually used for winter/deep snow touring and the skinnier, lighter skis usually used for spring/summer/long distance touring.

Ability Level:
Advanced-Expert
More
Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Flat/Rocker
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Flat/Rocker Rocker/Flat/Rocker is a variation on the rocker theme that seeks to provide a little more hard snow edgehold and pop than full rocker while retaining ease of turning and float. Performance is between a fully rockered ski and a rocker/camber/rocker ski.

Turning Radius:
Long
More
Turning Radius
Long > 22 m radius is best for powder and big-mountain.
- Core/Laminates: Carbon, Wood
-
Tail Type:
Partial Twin Tip
More
Tail Type
Partial Twin Tip Partial twin tip skis have a tail that is turned up, but not as much as the tip. This gives you the ability to ski backwards and back out of tight spaces, but these skis are mainly designed to ski forward.
