Product Info
The final chapter of the Signature Series, the 4FRNT Raven Skis are everything they were dreamed up to be. Combining the float and powder friendly rocker of the Hoji and Renegade, with the lighter weight and shorter turn radius of a touring specific geometry, the Raven will take your skiing to new heights. Tip and tail carbon fiber laminates, along with 4FRNT's signature ReflectTech shape allow you to carve through less than friendly snow conditions with determination. Take flight and explore the backcountry with the 4FRNT Raven Skis this winter.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Reverse Camber – A full radius along the length of the ski gives the ski maximum float and nimble turning.
Sidecut
Reflect Tech – Reflect Technology was dreamed up by Eric Hjorleifson as a way to make rocker and sidecut work together. In the past, full rocker profiles had a negative impact on the ability of the ski to edge consistently, causing the tips to hook and the tails to wash out while the ski was on edge. With Reflect Tech, the Rocker radius and the sidecut radius are matched, to allow the ski to edge smoothly, and create predictable carving in all conditions. It virtually eliminates tip hook, as the ski will engage smoothly along its whole length, and still gives you the float and pivotablility of a fully rockered ski.
Shape
Asymmetrical – A directional shape that gives the ski a more consistent feel.
Ski Touring Shape – The act of man conquering mountains without the use of machines.
Tip / Tail Taper – The neutral sidecut length at the tip and tails' widest dimension.
Core
Mega-Block – Ash and Beech come together to form 4FRNT's most dense, damp core for the best in all-mountain dominance.
Laminates
Tip and Tail Carbon Fiber laminates
Sidewalls
HALS Semi-Cap Construction – Inherited construction technique from central Norway, this sidewall-less design provides superb energy transmission to the edge. Semi-cap partially wraps the topsheet around the sidewall for additional durability.

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. Powder These skis are for the deep days. If you like to find powder stashes at your local resort, go on backcountry missions for the freshest of fresh or heli ski trips to BC, powder skis are what you need to stay afloat. Skis in the powder category are wide and most often have some form of rocker or early rise plus a relatively soft flex. Many powder skis today are versatile enough to handle mixed conditions and harder snow. 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
More
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.
