Help me find these skis! 4FRNT CRJ

A little backstory... I've been skiing for about 25 years, have been on countless different skis, and a few years ago I came across the 4frnt CRJ. Like the Armada JJ had once done for me many years ago, in 2009, the 4frnt CRJ changed skiing for me from the first day on them. They swivel like a top, they're ridiculously playful, and they're the first ski that I could confidently take out for any conditions, crud to pow to groomed - even the quick park lap. I'm a picky guy, and I had finally found my ski.

Last Friday, while snowmobiling back to Park City from Brighton, I was laying some turns and the tip of my beloved CRJ's must have gotten caught in the snow, resulting in a full blown tip. My favorite ski ever has officially been retired.

I've been looking for old CRJ's for about a year now, but have never had any luck. Now that I am without my original pair, I am in full-blown panic mode. I have emailed 4frnt multiple times but they don't seem to be able to help. Yes, I know the Inthayne is a similar ski, but I have tried them and they are not the same, sadly.

So, my question is... Who has a pair? Who knows someone with a pair? Who can build me the exact same pair?

If anyone can help, it's newschoolers!

Best of luck man. Im an old time 4FRNT fan have the CRJ 188's and love them. There is something about the tails that are just perfect, there have been so many times I have barely held it together on a cliff runout and the skis just kind of bring you back to your balance. I remember lapping Mineral Basin at Snowbird and kept falling on an off camber rock drop with my old VCTs. The next time up I brought my CRJs and stomped it on the first run.

it's true, somehow you can slash and wash out the tail with barely any work but they also have a diving board-like mentality that will spring you back into place if need be.
 
There is usually a couple pairs on the utah local classifieds, I'm sure someone could arrange shipping if you're not in the area.

Stumbled upon this post and remember I had these guys hanging up in my garage if you're still trying to find some! Skiied 4x and then forgotten about as they weren't for me personally. 188s
 
Just picked up an old pair in Nelson BC for the season. Gonna mount a pair of the forza pivots on them I think theyll be dope. For now theyre a decoration.

Ps. If anyone has a pair of forza pivots for sale Im interested
