4FRNT Renegade Skis 2013

Comments about 4FRNT Renegade Skis 2013:

Ive skied alot of skis this year and I just dont know what to say, these are amazing. I was a little skeptical to try these as they seem to get alot of reviews talking about how burly and unresponsive they are. While they are certainly capable of smashing down mountains, at the same time they are playful and predictable. Some skis ski for you, these do whatever you tell them to, and nothing you dont. They are simply a ski that requires you to be on your game, the tails are fairly long and stiff so if you get lazy, your going for a ride...its almost like you have to be on it, but relax at the same time. I have never ridden a ski that combines charge and fun as well as these. I am 6'6" 195lbs. and ride the 196. I'd say if your over 5'10" 170 you could consider the 196 depending on your purpose. Thank You 4FRNT, hands down best skis I clicked into this year!

Open Bowls, bottomless days, straight lining, awesome ski!!! BOth Eric Hjorliefson's skis are awesome, looking for touring, all mountain, andy day si go with the Hoji. If it's big lines and deep days pull out the Renegade.

This ski was lots of fun. The full rocker made for playful turning even in gnarly chunderballs. I think I little more pop would have helped on the groomers/hardpack but I still had fun zipping through the trees.

With a different all around profile than I'm used to on a ski, I was impressed with all aspects of the Renegade. Railing them on groomers for a bit, which should not be their ideal condition by any means, was as enjoyable as any ski I took out that day. They maintained excellent stability at speed, had surprisingly good edge control and transitioned between turns extraordinarily well considering the conditions. It's just a shame we didn't have any fresh pow, as I can only imagine how well these 4FRNTs would have handled in their true element.

This is a ski that gives back what you put into it. If you drive it and stay on top of it it will handle a wide range of snow well. Get lazy or in the backseat and you will know it. More demanding than i prefer for day to day use. If you like a charging style of skiing, you will probably love this ski.

The description "A more burly Hoji" is apt- This ski also wants to be driven from the ball of the but will turn surprisingly quickly for a 122mm wide board. and carve hard with even pressure. Absolutely blew through frozen debris at speed.

In a world that doesn't lack skis with waists over 118mm, it isn't very challenging to find to a fat ski for powder. However, it is a challenge to find a fatty that can step up to less than favorable conditions like hard pack, ice and chunder. With a 122mm waist, the Renegade steps up to the challenge. While I was not riding this on a pow day, they still left an impression on me because of how well they ran on groomers and through chundery snow. Even on icy steeps, I always felt in control and confident. These skis mached whether I was cruising a trail or trying my luck through chop. The only thing I regret about the skis is that there wasn't enough pow to really let them run where they want to be. With a ski this good, I'll be willing to get on them day after day waiting for a dump though.
