"I am a college student. Do I receive a discount?

You bet. The last time we checked you couldn't graduate from college without getting at least a few units in PHYSICAL EDUCATION. We know what its like to be a college student. We've been there...some of us several times. We want you to get a well rounded education without breaking the bank. That's why we launched the College Break Program this year. Register with us here at the 4FRNT online store (be sure to use your college email address (e.g., .edu) and select College Student under 'Who are you?'), provide us with proof of current enrollment and you get 35% off everything in the store. You will be limited to one purchase of skis and bindings at that low of a price (enter coupon code 'COLLEGE' during the checkout process in order to get your discount on those items). You also may get discounts on products at your local ski/snowboard retailer (subject to local retailer participation). Now, go get your gear, use the money you save to get that season pass and start concentrating on the physical part of your education!"

Hate to be a hater, but i'm almost positive that the college student discount = pro-form  read also: SOL on warranty issues.

two years ago 4frnt did this sort of promotion (exclusively? maybe not) with CU freeride and the CU freestyle team. My tail edge on my STL's fell out in beginning of their second season  and i was given this excuse and told no warrenty

So yeah this is a great deal from a company with sick skis, i used the discount on msps last year. But this is also the reason jibij and other companies are no longer selling 4frnt, who would buy from a ski shop at retail price when they can get the skis at pretty much pro form price from 4frnt. They pretty much just fucked anyone supplying their skis when they made this deal, but yes its an amazing price.

does that apply only if i buy directly from the 4frnt site?  cuz i need some bindings and if i can get deadbolts 35% off then ill def buy some, but they dont sell them on teh actual 4frnt site.

Shit.. when I get my batchlors i'm just going to sign up for 12 units of classes at the local JC, go to them a few times, send in my enrollment, just to get all the passes and shit, and then drop every class and get my money back lol.

If it worked, it would be such a scam, but then again, 90$ day passes at resorts are a scam too..

its 35% off msrp just to make things clear. i talked to a 4frnt rep and he said its 35% off msrp which is 30% off MAP so it makes sense. still a sick deal

ok just to let everyone know. the DISCOUNT APPLIES TO ALL STUDENTS. US AND INTERNATIONAL. (capitals in the hopes people will notice this). Its a sick deal! You just need to send some proof of your current student status, e.g student ID, timetable dates etc.
