Hey I have a pair of 4frnt clicks where the sidewall ripped off in less then 30 days of skiing. It says on the 4frnt warranty page to bring the skis to the original shop where you purchased the skis, but the shop I purchased the skis at, Peter Glenn of Alaska, is now out of business so I'm out of luck there.
Does anybody know how to contact 4frnt directly? I've looked and couldn't find an email or anything. Thanks a ton and +k.

warranties are never limited to the place where you made the purchase. you just have to take it back to the company. in this case, because 4front dont have an outlet as such you just need to go to a ski shop that stocks their gear. itd be worth finding one with some cool guys working there so they do the most they can for you. you dont want some 60 year old shop owner calling up 4front and saying 'this dumb kid wrecked his skis on rails and wants them replaced' (which probably isnt true anyway).

Yeah thanks man. I just noticed it at my friends house after a mellow day of skiing. That day I had mainly been instructing so i was not skiing hard at all. I may have taken like two or three park laps after work, and then went to my friends. There's 6 inches of sidewall and r inches of edge gone underneath the bindings. I don't think thats supposed to happen after 30 days of skiing, even if hitting rails.
Unfortunately, Peter Glenn was the only supplier of 4frnt skis up here in Alaska. Now there down and out. In fact, we only have two places to buy skis now: REi and a local shop that does not carry 4frnt. So any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and +k
