Just looking to see if anyone out there has any insight to big mountain skis with turn radius's 30+m. From what I have been able to find it looks like 4frnt has the Hoji in a 30m, the renegade in a 35m. K2 has the Pon2oon in 30m. I was just looking to compare ski dims on skis with 30+m radius.

Cheers

Turn radius doesn't tell the whole story, you have to factor in rocker profile. The Renegade doesn't feel ilke a 35M non-rockered conventional ski does in terms of turn initiation.

My Salomon Czars have a turn radius of 40 at 181. They naturally want to go straight and I have to work them to turn them. They do charge damn hard though, you can blast though what ever the fuck you want to. I'm a east coast skiier so I don't really find that big ass turn radius very fun when almost every single line is in the woods and east coast trees are tight as hell. If your looking to charge hard and go straight go for the 30+.
