Hey all,

I have been looking at a new ski now for sometime. I was wondering if anyone has rode the 4FRNT Switchblade or knows anyone that has. Looking for a more park oriented ski but one that will still do well all around the mountain, mostly on groomers (I ride east coast ice ha). Any feedback would be appreciated and +K for help. Thanks

They can win X-games medals...

The most important part of ski is the 5-6 ft above it..

True, but because they are the first year every made, I havent seen or heard any reviews about them. This is the website to get info on skiing so I figured I would ask. I understand why you would say that but Im not going to buy a ski that I know nothing about.

really buttery tip and tail, almost feel like a rocker. super stable on big jumps and the swing weight is like nothing. personally i wouldn't use it as an everyday ski, but i'm a little heavier than you. i'm 6'3" so I prefer a little stiffer ski like the MSP.

my friend has them. he says theyre not the best park ski hes had but they were decent. if your looking for more an all mountain ski and you want 4frnt look at the pique or msp. really nice all mountain skis. i have turbos which are great big mountain and all mountain skis but not great in park
