4frnt: hoji, 112 little bro of renegade, cdy (?) 100+ish waist all mountain/touring ski, somewhere between msp/turbo, pretty sure it's replacing the msp.
armada: 5 new skis, can't talk about details, goretex outerwear, sounds like they are going big next year.

apparently the hoji isn't a white room ski, which im bummed about, but maybe 4frnt will rethink that.

4FRNT 2012/2013 HOJI Detail Sheet: The HOJI replaces the EHP in our signature collection. Eric Hjorleifson’s new improved pro-model. The HOJI has similar attributes to the Renegade but its dimensions have been scaled for more all around big mountain skiing.. It incorporates the full rocker camber like the Renegade but has a longer surface length and shorter turn radius.

Sizes:
179cm at 129/112/120
187cm at 130/112/121

if the yle is any indication the elan factory is doing a very good job for them, it is a really well built looking ski. plus that should keep cost down a bit versus building it in SLC. pretty stoked i have a fresh pair of renegades sitting in my closet though!

fischer touring boot looks like a joke to me, hopefully tyrolia did their research in the binding department, considering the info on it is limited to like one post on TGR as far as i know which only mentions its existence, either it's a long ways off or they are seriously good at containing info.

Chris designs the graphic entirely, "we" Atomic have nothing to do with the graphic. He is also part of Nimbus and close to Pollard, so that they have similar tastes shouldn't be surprising.

First off the ANT no longer exists, even this year. They are totally new models, sure they may be adapted on what is currently out there with different waist widths, but there are a few that are totally new. And that factory that produces Armada and Atomic is also under contract with Salomon, so they do produce some Salomon skis. I don't get the hate, in my opinion, Armada is a solid company that is just trying to expand, as any company, even your smallest indie company would do if they had a chance.

Except for the cap wall construction is an Atomic design.
