There are only two 4rfnt models and many Line models,so it's not that easy to just throw two company names out there..

dude there is more than just line and 4 frnt, all you did was just throw out 2 core companies names, maybe the skis they have won't actually work for you, maybe the best ski for you is actually a salomon or rossi or etc......don't limit yourself to 'core' companies, who cares







A homophobe once told me that skiing on parabolics is like getting a blowjob from a gay guy, it feels good until you look down.

If you are looking to go mostly into park, or mostly rails 4frnt is your ski, but for air and other stuff line is your ski

1) go with line... next years skis kick ass!!
2)^whoever up there said that they might have the ski for you is partially right, line makes alot of different skis so you have a choice and they have a ski for almost anyone.
3)the one guy up there^ that said to go with 4frnt has a line icon.... what does that say??
line is the best way to go because they are a dit more established and devolped as a company.

The 4FRNT MSP is the best all-mountain park ski out there. It's 92mm under-foot in the 180cm, and it's P-tex sidewalls make it super-lightweight in the air.
Not to mention it's not a CAP ski and is way more durable than anything else out there. Two year warranty!!!

line good warrabty????? what?????

4 frnt have the loyalty warranty program and the ski is 9999 times better. I've seen 2 pairs of line geting wrecked after 2 runs and i can officially say that the MSP are bomb proof...

LINE has the best warrenty, but it's not like you'll need to use it anytime soon b/c there new stuff is bomber. i wouldnt trust this 4FRNT stuff, they are a very new company that hasnt made a affordable (key word) and reliable ski. Line supports you guys, so support them. peace

Line in no way shape or form has the best warranty. 4frnt does. there is no argueing that whatsoever, dont try. however, lines new skis do look pretty good, and for a mix of park and big mountain, pollards, skogens or mike nicks might all do as they have 86mm waist.

personally i would go 4frnt, but thats my opinion

You cant trust a company thats barely a year old, so i would not go 4frnt. lately i have seen too many lines fall apart too easily, although next years chronics look sick. I would look at other companys besides line.

There is no point in posting these threads. There is only one way to find out if the ski is right for you. Go out and ski both of them, in fact, go to as many demo days as you can, and than pick the ski that was right for you. Basically don't pick a ski based on replies, there are too many factors involed. As for questions on warranites and what not, than this is the place, but you need to find a ski that you skied and that you like.

4frnt is a good ski for mountain because he is fat and this is one of the best park ski. He got a warranty of 2years. So buy 4frnt now!

i have a question for you. how does line's warranty suck? they've had the best warranty around since they started. yes 4frnts warranty is great because its two years but do they warranty practically anything like line will? line is the only company around that warranties rail damage even though its printed that no company warranties that.

and like malczyk said. with the new line of Line skis you won't need a warranty. i'm going to repeat something i've said on this site numerous times. at the Freeskier jib fest at Mount Snow, Justin Gillern a Line ground troop was sessioning the Carinthia Deck Jib (if you don't know what this is check out Forward Liam Downey does it.) Numerous times he rode over the cheese grate stairs, the wooden deck (sliding into neil of sas films along with the building,) and the rocks at the bottom in the parking lot. His Chronics were practically perfect after. There were no gashes in the base & no problem with edges. These skis are by far the most bombproof ski ever made. none of this bullshit like the troublemaker last year where it was being said that it was the most bombproof ski then it fell apart on everyone. Line skis are skis that can stand up to conditions most skis would get destroyed under.

i'm not knocking 4frnt. matt sterbenz has done a great thing and i'm sure it will only get better as years go by. as someone else above said..buy whatever ski is going to fit YOU. you could demo these at a few mountains around the east including a shop at killington. i'd suggest trying to do that before you go out and buy a pair of skis. you may love them or you may hate them.

its obvious that everyone's gonna have different opinions so why don't you do what was suggested above. that is, test out the skis you're interested in and then see which one fits you better.

just remember that every person is unique and will find one ski to be better than another.

go, do some research...find out who really has the best warranty. see if you can look up some consumer reports onn these skis.

but again, the best think you can do is test the skis out.

good luck!

I own a pair of 4frnts and I must say tey ski very well. I love the stability in pow, crud, on groomers, on jumps, on rails, everywhere! They feel so solid under your skis. I havnt tried linesthough, but 4frnts are definitly sick.
