2014 Hoji Review

The Specs:

The 4FRNT Hoji serves as Eric Hjorleifson's pro model for the 2013-2014 season. The all mountain ski features a full radius rocker profile, a directional shape, and a neutral sidecut at the tip and tail. These components make the Hoji agile for pinning it through tight trees and steep couloirs, but capable of locking things down in chunder. Forget about tip slap and sloppiness with the Hojis—these beasts have improved torsional rigidity made possible by 4FRNT's semi-cap construction, which is a partial wrapping of the topsheet around the sidewall. If you're looking to get gnarly off-piste, the Hoji is great for skin missions deep in the backcountry. If you regularly take on steep, wide-open faces and massively deep conditions, then consider rocking the Hoji this season.
