Product Info
Fresh from the feverish brain and nimble feet of Eric Hjorleifson, this ski can perhaps best be described as a sized-down version of the Renegade. The 112 mm waist dimension and rockered profile produce an ideal "quiver-of-one" performer that will turn on a dime in tight spots and carve like crazy on the groomed as well as blast through any kind of 3D snow that blocks your way. The 4FRNT Hoji Skis demand a centered stance and a skilled pilot, but rewards you with do-it-all competence in any conditions. BTW, Hoji sees this ski as a dual-purpose lift-served/touring board . . .
Product Details
Rocker Type
Reverse Camber – Fully rockered shape with MAYBE a tiny flat spot underfoot supplies the expected primo powder experience, but this ski will carve surprisingly well from a centered stance as well.
Sidecut
Reflect Technology – Sidecut radius is carefully matched to rocker radius to allow the ski to edge smoothly and create predicatable carving in all conditions.
Shape
Tip and Tail Taper – Neutral sidecut length at the tip and tails widest dimensions
A slight tip and tail taper aids in straightline stability and float in powder
Asymmetrical Shaping – Directional shaping that prefers travelling forward
Core
Hi-Lite Core – A blend of poplar and beech makes a core that's snappy, light and durable.
Laminates
Fiberglass Reinforcement – Fiberglass laminates above and below the core
Sidewalls
Semi-Cap Construction – Combines a cap over the top of the ski with sidewalls on top of the edges for the best of both worlds - edgehold AND durability
Base
Sintered Base
Edges
Full-Wrap Edge
Graphics
Hoji brings back a slightly modified version of the original EHP "Pilsner" graphic for his flagship ski
Binding Compatibility
Bindings not included
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

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. Big Mountain Big mountain skis are designed for charging big lines with high speeds and big airs. These skis varry in width from wide, powder-oriented skis for skiing Alaska spines to narrower, mixed condition skis for ripping the beat up headwall at your local mountain. Skis in this category tend to be on the stiffer side, often with more rocker in the tip and less in the tail. 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 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

Rocker Type
Rocker Rocker (also called reverse-camber) is just as it sounds – camber turned upside down. Rocker skis have a side profile with a smooth downward curvature and a contact point at the middle of the ski. Rocker skis excel in deep powder. This profile provides the skis with less tip and tail hang up to prevent from catching edges and allows the skis to initiate turns extremely quickly. This profile doesn’t perform as well in icy conditions or on harder snow but if you spend lots of time in deep, untracked snow and like a more playful ski, Rocker is a great choice.

Tail Type:
Partial Twin Tip

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.
