4FRNT Renegade ~ Hand built in SLC.

Ah, thanks tgapp!

Pretzel, I'd be stoked to ski with you, but in all honesty this zone with tgapp, et al. was also new to me so I wasn't much of a guide. But I was very stoked to learn a new zone with like-minded people. Very good times were had by all.

And it's not that I skied the Ren well, it's that it does all the work for me and I can just go along for the ride.

I kept repeating to the crew: "Remember when this (type of skiing) used to be hard?"

That trip just reaffirmed that I'll own this ski as my designated fresh snow tree ski until it breaks. Maybe I should prepare for that ahead of time and order an HL UT One Twenty Two. ;-)

I went back and read/skimmed the first decade of this thread. Holy cow. What a cult this ski turned into. And it's still worshipping.

And now you readers know that when cultists like myself hint that maybe a new cult is emerging, maybe you should be paying attention.

Ahem...

I hear you. But isnt the HL UT CXX a different beast? 1750 gr at 183 cm and 1850 gr at 190 cm. Never skied an HL carbon construction ski (although I have the FL105 and FR132 in my quiver), but somehow I envision getting a 183 (184 material length) with freeraider 15s, not CASTs.</p>
<p>
Edit: just realized I was such a sophisticated smartass to use roman numerals for HL UT one twenty and then proceeded to blast loads of arabic numerals. Sorry if you are reading this on an emoji device.</p>

The HL carbon bc skis are legit. Way more damp than I would have expected for the weight. Have C Ninety and BC One ten.

You still got my 196s yeah? I miss them hah.

Sweet Japan stoke!

I was interested in the HL Carbon BC skis but they don’t make any smaller than a 180.
My current fat skis are 181’s so I am trying to downsize a bit.

The reason I listed my Rens is I’ve bought some HL UT One Twenty-Two’s.

Specs/dimensions are eerily similar to the Renegades, ya the weight is less on the UT One Twenty Two but I’m planning on ATK’ing them. I have other “heavy” pow skis that are getting more use in cut-up pow inbounds than my Rens (HB One Twenty-Two, Revolt One Twenty-One, HL R One Twenty).

In hindsight I should have put pin bindings on the Rens as they are so good in untracked.

Also fine keeping the Rens as company wall art cause my CPA firm is called Forefront Consulting Ltd.
