    The only other thing I've heard/read is that there will be 95mm, 110mm and 120mm waisted sizes.

    well then shout interwebz!

    I'm hoping for a slightly skinnier Hoji with camber and twintip.

    from what I've read around the interwebz it'll be camber/rocker, "generous" width and a larger turn radius. Not really sure where this will fit in between the Hoji, Devastator and the YLE but I'm sure we'll see by the end of the year.

    Haha.. yeah, pretty much. How about this then - I really like my hoji in the soft, but I want to also like a blasting-inounds-laps ski as much.

    Here is the 4frnt KYE, with pictures and all. Use Google translate for translation from Norwegian:

    Awesome. The ø is pronounced like in Danish right?

    And those 110s look tempting for next season. I'll have to try and get on a pair

    Come on now, 114mm isn't too far off, I'd think the longest length of 188cm would be a bigger concern for a big dude.

    I love what happens every time you guys get to Google translate a Norwegian text. Flekstunga, fokksnø and gangsterjibbekid will take over the American language some day.

    I need to go to Utah.
    Utah?
    Yeah, Utah. It's wedged in between Wyoming and Nevada. You've seen pictures of it, right?

    So after 15 years we finally made it to Utah.....


    Thanks BCSAR and POWMOW Ski Patrol for rescues

    These sound pretty nice.. was pretty set on the Supernatural 108, but am thinking this might be a better all around resort ski.
