Looks like the only shop in Colorado who is going to have any is Wilderness Ski and Sport. If they're not close by, or if they've already sold theirs, you can find them online at Backcountry, evo or Powderhuffer.Quote:

^^Did you sell your 186s whyturn ? You never replied to my PM
Will anywhere in Seattle or Portland have any Rens in the store ? I'd like to handflex/look at these skis before I buy them.
Mine are spoken for. They flex stiff, but are easy, go figure
Both Mtn Shop and Next Adventure are to be getting these in the 186. As of last week still nothin'Quote:

I would assume evo will also have a few pairs...
The finishing is churning along really well. Eric's down from BC to help out and to get some new samples pressed, and we're sending them to the tune shop for final finishing as fast as their Wintersteigers can run. No firm ship dates as of yet, but we're getting close.Quote:

I like the 2013 topsheet with the owl
does hoji ever ride the 196? he's a pretty little guy isn't he?
Eric rides the 186 almost exclusively. He only rides the 186 EHP as well.Quote:

Renegade 196 mount at 92 cm from the end of the tail.
The reason my mounting position preference changed stems from ski touring performance:
I mounted my pair of Renegades for touring 1 cm back to a accommodate for kick turns while skinning. I ended up skiing on my touring setup 90% of last season and greatly enjoyed the mounted at this new position of -6 cm. I want to share this info with Renegade customers. "
Hope that helps answer some questions.
Nice. Just remounted mine at 87. It's rare enough that I don't get bored with a pair of sticks after a season on them, but I'm Stoked to ride them this season.
a pair of 186s will be mine. so fucking stoked.
hello
@Mustonen: why you finally remount them at 87?
do you see big différences betwween 88 and 87 on soft stuff ?
Just watched the bitch is back last night and Hoji is such a ripper. Abma commented the lines he's ripping now and with the speed he's carrying are twice as fast. Part of it is the ski, of course most of it is Hoji
Any updates on when the 196s will be shipping to retailers?
Been reading a lot about these skis the last couple days. They sound like real rippers. I am thinking maybe they would make a great quiver addition next year instead of the HOJI.
Maybe SOMEBODY won't like there 196's as much as they think....I will be waiting come JUNE :D
Was waxing mine the other day and really excited to get back out on them soon. No desire to ski anything else for soft snow conditions.
Anyone know when more 186s will be available? Checked all the online dealers, everyone seems to be out... help point me in the right direction, my wife won't be $800 flexible for long.
hopefully within the next couple of weeks. there was some sort of issues with the diecuts on a certain run of skis, so they had to repress a pretty large number of them i guess.Quote:

Does anyone know the shop has Renegade 196cm?
I'm finding but I can't.
Have all of them sold out?
Call 4frnt, or maybe they'll respond here.
Probably going to pull the trigger on a pair of these if I can find them. Trying to compare to skis in my quiver regarding size. Can someone tell me how 4frnt skis measure? Do they measure long or short? Example my 195 s7s actually measure 191 tip to tail. Much appreciated.
Some straight-pull tip-to-tail measurements of the 4frnts I have in my ski closet:Quote:

Where are you located?Quote:

FWIW, I really liked them at 88, and if I had the choice I wouldn't have changed anything.
I'm in Japan.Quote:

So I'm finding them on internet.
Any shop is OK if I can order on internet.
Our Japanes distributor, Powwave, should be getting theirs in within the next couple of weeks, then they should be hitting shops around Japan after that. Try sending an email to Hideo to find out where you can pick them up. yoshizawahideo@mac.comQuote:

Skied 193 ehps baker opening day and now I know imma need something a little bigger....
Got hooked up with 4frnt too, awesome company, and hooooly I dont want these skis, I kinda need them. Make it happen guys!!
renegades are now sitting in my closet. so beautiful. thanks dudes. the finishing area is a beehive of activity right now, can't imagine you guys waiting on these are going to be waiting more than a couple more weeks (and if you want to take these out in sketchy early season snow, you're crazy!).
Saw/heard a guy scraping rocks at Alta under Wildcat Saturday on a gorgeous pair of Renegades... almost made me cry
that's an abomination.Quote:

it's the only excuse i can find to sell these wonderfull brand new babies.
if you are interested and live in Europe, look on gear swap
4frnt, I'm 6'2" 208 lbs without gear, 38 yrs young, will be using my 195 s7s for every day ski. I ski fast but don't take huge air anymore. That said, this will be my designated pow ski. What do you think about the 196 for me? One thing that drives me crazy is diving tips on powder skis so I'm thinking I should stick with the bigger version.
Thank you for your support.Quote:
