I saw a lot of questions/requests for feedback on the 4frnt MSPs, so I'll offer my response...

I picked up a new pair of the 08 4frnt MSPs for last season after riding the 09 models and really liking them. The MSPs are a great do-it-all ski, at least do at doing everything in bounds and not in any super deep pow. At least for me, weighing 200+, i would sink this ski in anything deeper than my ankles (90 mm underfoot). It can make it through with a little extra effort, but don't get this as a one ski quiver that you expect to shred knee deep days, unless you are a much lighter on a longer ski. The MSP is very stiff, has a lot of camber, Great edge-hold, and is uber-bombproof. One of my buddies did manage to break one of his, the previous years model, but we both absolutely pushed them to the max. I shattered one of my bindings like a frag grenade after backseating a cliff drop on hardpack, but the ski came out just fine. I found my 08s to be a little less nimble in trees due to the stiffness (very), and from what i remember, the 09 was just a little softer and/or more nimble. After a full season torturing these, they still have a few more years left in them; the top sheets are well scratched and chipped up, but i punished them pretty good. With the stiffness, they butter up corn and choppy crud with ease which is probably my favorite condition to ride these on (corn). They will take plenty of park and rail abuse and perform VERY well, ski bumps okay, and eat up anything on piste you can throw at it. The take home message: one of the best all-mountain (resort) mid-fat twin tip sticks out there (that I've ridden). If you do most of your skiing at a resort in the park, powder stashes, and between grooms, these will do you right.
