    Help picking a 4frnt ski

    I am a recent midwest to CO transplant. 5'8 140 intermediate looking to get into a tree/pow resort based everyday ski. Recently demo'd and really liked the Atomic Blog in 184. I am looking to pick up something from 4frnt and wanted to get input from people who have ridden the following:
    CRJ 180 or 188
    Cody 186(179 looks to be out of stock)
    Turbo 182

    Thanks!

    Not to many reviews out yet of the Cody, but the ones that are seem to say some pretty good things about it, especially as a one ski quiver.
    Check out the blistergearreview site, they've reviewed both the CRJ and the Turbo I think..

    If you liked the Blog, you may find the Turbo to be too stiff. The CRJ is quite playful and relatively soft like the Blog but its symmetrical shape makes it a poor carver. It prefers slashes and slides. I haven't tried the Cody.

    Why not get the Blog if you liked it?

    From what I gather, the Cody is a playful all-mountain ski, and the Turbo is a charge-y all-mountain ski.

    If you liked the Blog, I'd get the Cody.

    check out the cody if you're just getting into it big time, they'll do well in soft snow and hold a good edge on hard stuff, and be nice and playful and easy to ski all around. nice modern shape too whereas the turbo is more of a traditional shape.

    I love line personally, and I think they would be a great company to be sponsored by. But if it would be skis only, I would say salomon, the rocker 2 looks beautiful and everything I've seen on here says it's amazing. Congrats on even having this choice, and I want you to know you are very lucky. But make the decision you want, and stick with that decision.

    I'm 5'10 160lb and ski the 4frnt CRJ. It's a very fun playful ski that loves soft snow and unconsolidated snow. Due to the sidecut and shape it's not the most fun on groomers. The ski has a medium to soft flex so crud can be a bumpy at times. If you can get enough speed the asymetrical shape allows one to bomb straight down the crud with little interference. If you can ski enough soft snow the ski is orgasmic!
