Sidewall blew out on my 13/14 rens after about 20ish days. Anyone else have this problem?

OG rens in spring slush simply slay. That is all.

4FRNT Renegade ~ Hand built in SLC.
Really? Outside of boilerplate, that's my least favorite condition for them. I find my OG and 196 owls to ski kind of weird in slush unless there's something firm underneath. Not sure if it's the reverse camber or the shape? But they seem to either give in a weird way at the apex of the turn or get too loaded up right in front of my boot. I don't know how to describe it any better than that. Still skiable and even fun, but if I have something narrower with more shape I tend to grab it first on those days. Corn and wet heavy spring pow are totally different stories, however.
focus.

Skiing 196 Rens in Jackson I have got to agree with you. They are the perfect ski for JHMR. A rally car of a ski in powder, even in fun spring skiing as well. Hell, I was rocking those skis in the massively deep 20+ turn 'Worker's Wiggle' (kind of like a bobsled track you ski through. Us Jackson guys will 'wiggle' when there is no snow) in Rendezvous Bowl.
They are super stable when dealing with choppy snow, they have gotten myself in trouble going too fast at times. They love to go 'Ricky Bobby' speed.Always charging it in honor of Flyin' Ryan Hawks.

OLD vs NEW?
I have the OG 1st gen version. Crows on black/orangish yellowish topsheet in 186cm length. Are there significant changes in the new 2016 version? I love this ski, but sometimes wish it were about 10% softer when conditions firm up. The durability in the construction is amazing. I accidentally rail slided a huge rock mid pow turn yesterday at Abasin and expected to find a ruined ski upon inspection. I flipped over the ski and barely saw a burr on the edge.

Softer when conditions are harder?
Haven't had the opportunity to ski mine as much as I would like, as of yet, but looking forward to next season to take advantage of them!"...if you're not doing a double flip cork something, skiing spines in Haines, or doing double flip cork somethings off spines in Haines, you're pretty much just gaping."

I think he means more damp when on chattery hard packed ice.
That's a hudge difference I noticed between the EHP and the Renegade. The EHP feels like a more composed ski to me, its still my all time fav...Good thing I have several pairs hoarded.
Not to knock the Rens. Just two very different skis. More different than I had anticipated.
Thus the many previous posts requesting a ski that combines some of the EHP qualities with some Ren qualities.
The EHP is a quiver of one.
The Ren is a ski in a quiver.
IMHO, of course.Last edited by iscariot; 04-25-2015 at 07:21 PM.

Anyone know/recall when the version with the backcountry topsheet was made?

^^^ Sweet, thanks. Have there been any changes in flex/stiffness throughout the years of the ski? I see this year they brought in ABS sidewalls...
Stuck inside these days with smoke, likely from the coming apocalypse as predicted by our Lord and Savior, Donald Trump, blotting out the sun and making air quality suspect at best. Decided I may as well work on my skis to while away the hours. What is the best method of curing/staining the sidewalls to avoid/minimize any potential moisture damage? Looking at linseed oil, but would that have any effect on the epoxy, or any other detrimental effect on the ski? Any other suggestions?"...if you're not doing a double flip cork something, skiing spines in Haines, or doing double flip cork somethings off spines in Haines, you're pretty much just gaping."

Linseed oil will not have any detrimental effect. I have a few pairs with exposed wood sidewalls that look as good as the first day I skied them that I treated with boiled linseed oil. Put a fresh thick coat of wax on your skis to protect the base from the oil, be careful not to drip any wax down the sidewalls. Use a rag and put on a light coat of oil, it goes a long way. Let it dry for a day, then scrape the wax. I do this maybe twice a season on my skis and they have held up great. And as greenie said, take care to bring your skis in and dry them out at the end of each day.
