    Ask a Hoji

    Like I posted in the other thread, Mntlion's out at GAH with Eric H at the moment. He's got spotty cell service , but he's asked me to start a thread for him to bounce questions off of Eric.

    We have two pairs of Hojis with Dynafits as demos too. Excited about them. Flex will be Renegade-like.

    I'm on an iPhone. Limited coverage, limited battery.

    More about the damn boots! Curious if it will be a TLT5P on steroids or more like a Titan? How does he feel about the Titan Ultralight, and how will his rumored boot be different?

    Curious about the ski too, obviously.

    Hadn't heard about the camp before, but that sounds pretty money.

    Ask him if he has any idea what his boot will cost. Most likely he won't have a clue but he might.

    Is is going to have a bunch of carbon on it like the TLT5 Performance or the Titan ultralight?

    Ask him why he's a pro when I'm so much better than him?

    Ask him why his Dynafits don't pre-release.

    it's not emphasised here, but those bears over at epicski really do like their fore-aft balance. and it helps, especially when some shop monkey "tunes" your bindings to DIN 3

    He won't know (or care) those decisions come from people above his pay scale. Be prepared for $1000, if the "Green Machine" is 1k. Maybe we will get lucky & it will fall in the $750 range.

    Ask him if he is using the Gecko glueless skins, & if so, how he likes them.
    Thx

    And how many days he uses the same skins before replacing them. And if he gets new skins at the start of each season.

    Not a gear question, but I'd like to know what he thinks about technique-wise skiing. He has one of the most unique and strong turns out there.

    I'm going to ski with the Hoj himself this weekend with GAH, so if anyone has any burning questions that they didn't get answered this weekend, post them here!
