Saw them at Powertrip in Indio and again in Vancouver.

Full send.

I swear at powertrip they slowed down the timing on Rosetta stoned at one point and it felt like it was in slow motion.........

So I picked up some Plum r170 heel pieces to mount with the MTN toes. $250 on ski uphill.

- will give it a whirl. Ramp should be 5.5-6

Also, in my perusing, any thoughts on the atk trofeo 10 ?...

Thanks for all the great feedback!

I have some thinking to do.

Hows is toe piece reliability?

Springs break, I broke two on a base camp trip in May.

Pretty unfortunate as I have two other pairs, five yrs old and still trucking. The pair that broke was a 22/23 model.

I had to ski to different hojis on a trip recently. Fuck yah, barely noticed.

Renagdes slay
Hojis play
Ravens do it any way

That's what I think about them....

Well I have a spare set lying around. Maybe I'll dabble.

Always hunting for the heavier gen hojis, excellent resort ski. Tour well too.

Yes

Toured in Rockies for 5 yrs and now 5 yrs on coast

Hojis crush, so versatile.

Also have Ravens for fitness laps

Renegades when the day warrants it.

Haha. Hey man, skiing is fucking great. Passion for the the tools is awesome.

BMTs were a great and well loved tool in my books....

Fair point, I typically use hojis and Ren's on proper tours. Ravens for fitness laps.

The bmts felt less stompy on cliff drops imo. Probably mount point related.

Had both BMT and hojis....pretty similar on the uptrack.

Now have a quiv of hojis x 2, raven, ren....their pretty easy to manage on any ski track. Even icy tracks, my thought is more ski base...

I also did and had nothing to reply, because it was the honest truth.

Wondering if it's been seen before in the short use span.

Considering I serviced them in Sept and ride my other bike all winter, I was surprised it snapped.

Kept it and built it up as a spare and kid towing machine.
