Why is 4FRNT blowing it this year?

[gramboh]

Been skiing 4FRNT since the Pilsner EHP's. Had and still ski on various versions of the Renegade and Hoji. Will continue to do so as long as the ski design and quality remain as high as they have been. My limited customer service exchanges over the years have been positive.

I think JLev mentioned in a comment on Newschoolers that Kye's contract was expiring and they simply couldn't afford what a dude of his profile demands. That's the reality of running a business... hope the best for Kye going forward because Numinous was just amazing.

I ordered a pair of hojis a few months ago. Definitely took a while to arrive and i was getting impatient but they showed up. I emailed a few ties and got a personalized promt response. Company seems to be working hard. Wouldn't hesitate to buy their skis again. This is my second set of 4frnts. First were ehps that are still ticking after a couple hundred days of me shit kicking them.

That's it and now it's in second tracks I believe but yeah they had probably 50 pair of Ravens when I was in there early last season waiting to be "factory" tuned.

Dunno how much those mr. Rob-auto machines cost but I imagine you could pay for a nice five piece family w/thekids in private school for a year before you even pay for disposable parts. Edge polishers are especially expensive additions and Charlie Unicorn November Tango'S to maintain.

If they can bring all their skis back down to $499 and leave them there then I think they're going to do pretty well. Great shapes. Would love to see a 188-190 devastator.

Yep. 500-600/USD current season pricing on shapes like Hoji and Renegades will keep me coming back. Not much else matters as long as delivery is reasonable and customer support ok.

I personally think the brand shuffle is a great thing for the industry, and want to shout out to JLev and Sterbenz for all the hard work.

These guys have managed to build their lives around skiing and creating fun products for skiers. Office turds gonna be jealous I guess...

No, 4frnt don’t have the scalability of fucking Salewa or Amer sports, but their products are also not mass produced neon noodles, either.

The Blister podcast was super interesting, and I’d be excited to see some kind of demo program hit the road this year.

There’s always a demo tent at Jackson Hole, so I wonder if some sort of marketing / demo rental cross breed beast could exist to help people ride these skis at major mountains across NA?

Anyone know if they’re going to do another run this year of the ravens?

Not sure why all the bitching, 4Front seems to be doing just fine. I just order two uptrack series skis (2 for 1 deal) and 24 hours later had shipping confimation and an expected arrival date of 1-5-18. About a week from order to delivery. Nothing to complain about, price was great, and as long as the build quality is good, all should be right with the world. I think the sale ends either today or tomorrow.

Got the Massif and arete if anybody is interested. Got a nice touring pow ski, and spring couloir ski.

Holy cow, that's a killer deal on some nice looking skis. I really don't need this but may be tough to hold off.

if only they had ravens.

[gramboh]

If you have instagram, it's worth following 4FRNT as you will see their deals pop up, they seem to vary their promos pretty often. Contemplating new Hojis mounted with Salomon Shift next season as a do-it-all.

Yup. Follow on IG. The 2 for 1 deal was insane. So good.

Ordered and got skis in less then ten days, 2 for 1 uptrack series. Build quality looks excellent, and if they make me ski like Hoji, my life will be complete.

[snapt]

Curious how much of a cut a pro skier gets from his/her name on a Signature ski?

Also I'd imagine forecasting gets a bit trickier direct to consumer, without a couple of gorilla retailers to depend on buying a pile of skis every year.

Irregardless I hope they keep selling fun shapes at affordable prices for sure.

[Supermoon]

I heard on the Powell Movement Pep say that he got something like $10 per for the Fujatives. And they sold like 10k pairs

[meter-man]

Anyone holding 184 Ravens from this year (or last year) they'd like to pass on?

[concretejungle]

Going on four days to ship my order isn't exactly setting the world on fire.

[hutash]

Its a ski company, not Amazon fucking Prime. Not quite a boutique ski company, but close.

Got a week on my Uptrack Massifs, and was pleased. Heald edge well for such wide skis, so skiing groomers was fun. Tossed me around in the cut up, refrozen ice bumps, (but that is more my fault then the skis), and completely ripped up the untracked powder. Skinning and boot packing with it was good as well.

All in all, very happy with the ski.

Big 4FRNT fan, and love to see Matt & JLev on here.
Since this has their attention, why not a limited release of the EHP? It's still alot of folks fave ski. They could do it as a special run for just those that put a deposit down - which would make it pretty risk-free, assuming sufficient interest to make the $ work. I'd put down for at least two pair.s. Maybe some biz or contractual reason why this can't work. But worth asking. Maybe this has been brought up before, sorry if so.
They did do similar I think for the CRJ, although was a memorial run for CR Johnson (RIP).
Couldn't resist asking... and hoping!

I work in shipping and there is one of me doing it all. Unless their fulfillment center is a absolute disaster then four days is a long ass time. They don't have that many sku's.

Skied a few laps at Alta today just to demo skis. Conditions sucked raining hard. Basically just wanted to demo MSP and ravens. Disappointed that 4frnt wasn’t there. They’ve shown every year for years. I realize they moved to Vermont but Alta has been a base for them for years. I’m a huge fan of 4frnt skis. But really disappointed they didn’t show.
