4FRNT CRJ

Has anyone out there ridden the 4FRNT CRJ? I could get a killer deal on them and couldn't find much reviews online. For a 110+ waist ski, I'm sure they rock the pow, but how do they handle groomers and harder snow? As for size I am 5' 8.5" 140 lbs and ski fairly aggressively. 180 or 188? I ride 178 Chronics and those feel fine so 180 won't feel bigger since the CRJ has a lot of rocker, but would 188 be too big?

K+ for feedback

First off, they kill it on groomers. With your weight forward they really dig in and carve well when you want them to. I ski aggressively at 5'9 and 173 lbs. and the 180 is a perfect size for me. In my opinion it's a powder ski that is meant for jumps and playing around. If I were you, I'd stick with the 180, there isn't quite as much rocker as you would think, unless they changed it from the ones I have. I can upload a rocker pic if you want.

Blister has a pretty good review with profile pictures IIRC.

I've riden the 188 for a couple seasons. Super fun playful pow ski, can charged hard on em too. They pivot quickly and surf like no other ski ive been on and my choice for a storm day in the pillows and trees.

I'll get you a rocker pic tomorrow, if you haven't looked up that person's review.

One more thing to add. I am in new england (east coast). Would this ski be too big for the mountains here?

No problem dude! And I doubt the ski will be too big for the mountains unless you're skiing on artificial slopes. It's more or less the type of the terrain (groomers, park, pow) than how much terrain there is.
