my friend hadn't skied park before, he got the msp's, and he was doing huge flat downs like he'd been doing it forever.

probably not the skis, but still. they're pretty sick this year.

u should maybee check for another company, the ski is definetely fun to ski but the warranty is shit(like everybody said before)... just search 4frnt in the search bar and see what others said about the ski.

it's weird that it's just Americans that gets delaming and/or other problems with 4FRNT's...all 4FRNt's i've seen (including mine and my buds STL) have hold up great with no serious damage at all..

4FRNT moved production to the old Option Snowboard factory in Canada, which has supposedly greatly improved the construction quality of the ski.

They probably ski the same from year to year, but the new ones "should" hold up better.

Anyone remember who's using 4FRNT's old contract fab? Is it Ninthward?

Actually it's the current Option factory - Option is OEM manufacturing them for 4FRNT.

I do know Option is trying to deal with a bunch of OEM manufacturing issues - but not sure of how much of that is 4FRNT, and how much is their snowboard clients like Arbor, etc.
