Anyone ridden this ski? Have anything to say about it?

I currently ride the 184 4frnt raven, i love the reverse camber. the reason 120 from what i can tell is very similar in shape, just fatter for those deeper days. More than a few times on the raven Ive felt like I've needed more ski for those really deep days because they just aren't that fat. So I've been looking at the Reason 120. looks sick but just haven't heard much about it. I ski in WA primarily so when the snow comes, it comes and its wet and deep

One hesitation is I rode a pair of 4frnt Inthaynes in the 181 length and they were very difficult for me to ski.. coulda been me, the conditions, or the mount (they were +3 from recommended) buttttt it was probably me. Anyways, the Inthayne also has that similar reverse camber rocker profile so my negative experience with that ski makes me slightly hesitant but wanted to see if anyone on here has experience.

I've ridden the Hoji now for multiple seasons as an inbounds ski and really enjoy it, for what thats worth

Coming from someone who skis a 118 in the backcountry on occasion.. 120 is a BIG ski to tour with and its a bit overkill. I tour on bibbys on the occasional super deep day, but I also live where there's ALWAYS deep snow to ski...

The majority of the time, I still tour on something thats 103 wide and thats pretty much all thats necessary for the most part.

I ended up getting em.. I ski at baker so we definitely get some real deep days. I also plan on using them inbounds a bit, mounted with kingpins.


idk maybe I’m just rationalizing the purchase at this point but I hope they rip lol. Usually I tour on a 104 full rocker which I love but even this season with the low snowpack we’ve had in WA, thereve been a few days where I’ve needed a wider ski in the backcountry
