Product Info
If you want to go as hard as Eric Hjorleifson himself, the 4FRNT Hoji Skis are the perfect planks. A reverse cambered, fully rockered, and rigid set of planks, the Holji is prepared to send it straight no matter how big or fast you want to go. For full throttle skiing in the biggest open terrain, the Hoji won't hold back or take 'no' for an answer. Whether you're getting dropped off by a heli or sitting atop the burliest back bowl at your local resort, prepare to get rowdy when you drop in on the 4FRNT Hoji Skis.
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
Relaxed Tip Profile
Asymmetrical – A directional shape that gives the ski a more consistent feel.
Big Mountain Shape – These skis will get you down the steepest, tightest and most exposed lines out there.
Tip / Tail Taper – The neutral sidecut length at the tip and tails' widest dimension.
Core
Hi-Lite Core – A blend of Poplar and Beech or Ash make Hi-Lite cores snappy and lightweight with enough substance to drive wider skis in soft snow.
Laminates
Vibe Veil Technology – Involves an elastic membrane situated in the tips of 4FRNT rockered skis that dramatically reduces chatter and weak edge hold, the result of extended negative radius profiles in ski tips when used in varied to firm snow conditions. 4FRNT discovered this material from the marine industry where seacraft designers line the interior of boat hulls to soften the compounding blows of rough seas, all the way to public transportation where automotive engineers dampened the high pitch vibrations found in buses, light rails, and trams. All 2015/16 skis featuring VibeVeil have a transparent window logo highlighting the very material used in each ski. You can find Vibeveil TM in the Renegade, Raven, Hoji, Hoji W, Devastator, Aretha, and the all-new Kye series.

Terrain:
Big Mountain, Powder

Terrain
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.

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.

Turning Radius:

Turning Radius
Long > 22 m radius is best for powder and big-mountain.

Tail Type:
Partial Twin Tip
More
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.
