I've done my research and pretty sure the powder ski I'm looking to get is the 4frnt CRJ. I'm 5'10" about 180. I'm a pretty agressive skier, and know how the CRJs are harder to get used to and everything. Should I go with a 180 or 188? I was leaning towards 188, but just want to see if anyone has experience that would point me to the 180. Thanks

188 fo sho rocker will make them ski shorter. I'm currently 6'0" and skiing on 191 but was 5'9"/5'10" when I got them and never once felt like I wanted shorter.

RIP CRJ

RIP CRJ

Mar 9th 2010

CRJFirst let me start by saying that my warmest feelings go to CRJ family and friends.I personally did not get the pleasure of knowing CRJ personally, or to run on skis along with him.But as a skier, it is impossible not to know who was Cr, and to be influenced by what he did on skis. Remember the first time I saw CRJ in an MSP movie. The first time I had seen someone do a 1260 I remember sitting there completely paralyzed and just thought, wow. Is it possible!  That was seen in "slow motion" sometimes  to say that. After that it was just as exciting every time a movie came out to see what he was up to. I will say that he was one of the rider who has helped shape the sport we are doing. Both as a jibber and a Freeskier. For he could do it all. From hitting 4m high airs in the pipe, to shred the major lines on the mountain!An example is the  big fighten he had to come back after the head injury he incurred. From being kept in a coma, waking up and barely able to communicate. To going back up  on the mountain, dropping 15m cliffs with 360 It shows a love for the sport that is unique.I Believe that u can  ask anyone who is above average interested in skiing if they know who  CRJ is, and they will will answer yes. RIP CRJ

RIP CRJ

Mar 8th 2010

The 4frnt team, and the ski world in general suffered a big loss in the way too early departure of CR Johnson on the 24th of February. CR's approach to the ski industry has inspired many, me included, and his come-back after the head injury in 2005 showed us all that nothing is impossible as long as you've got passion and determination in your life. My thoughts goes first and foremost out to his family and friends in Squaw Valley. But also to the whole skiing community, who has lost one of the most inspiring and colorful contender. RIP CRJ
