4FRNT Hoji 2016

Size: 187
130-112-121
Full rocker
Mount: +2 from recommended

The 2016 Hoji is by far the best pow ski I have ever been on. This was my first time on a 4FRNT as well and I am very impressed. Add in the fact that they are made in the Elan factory in Slovenia and you know you are getting probably the best quality in the industry.

The Hoji uses 4FRNT's reflect tech which matches the rocker profile with the sidecut to get the best grip while on edge. The tip is tapered quite a bit, reducing swing weight and making it easier to cut close to trees. It has a 30 meter turn radius but you can pivot on a dime due to the full rocker.

I only skied them for 3 runs, but they were extremely maneuverable on the groomers and especially in the trees. I didn't have my poles and I never ended up on the back seat even bombing through trees. They float very well, I could not get the tips to dive.

Like all skis with rocker / early rise, they do chatter a bit. This doesn't bother me but it may bother some. For a rockered ski, they do chatter less than most.

Pros: float very well, extremely maneuverable, solid construction, nice topsheet

Cons: not a twin (could still ski switch though)

Note: I center mount all my skis, so I had them bump the mount forward about 2 cm. If you are looking for ultimate float and are looking to charge, recommended would probably best. If / when I buy these, I'll mount them forward a bit to make them more playful
