I'm thinking about buying for the next season the 4frnt 'switch' ski when the new 22,23 design comes out. What do you think? I read that it does good in the park and in trees/pow and in the groomers. Are the devastators more for mountain rather than park? I like a good ski for serious park and serious trees/cliffs. I'm a pretty tough skier and if I buy will mount with tyrolia attacks from my previous 4frnt ski, a older model from 2013-14.

How often do you ride park compared to all mountain? The devastator will be a better all rounder I think.

I ride park probably 75 % more than mountain, but certainly go to mountains a few times a year that are tough cliffs and glades skiing. So 75% park and 25% all mountain. But I like all mountain too, just I've been riding park a lot more latley.

Devatators will be more all mountain for sure. Full rocker aka flat camber and 108 or so underfoot. Switch will be a good compromise between the two. Don’t have any firsthand experience with them though

The Switch is prob a good option if you are doing park 75% of the time. What 4FRNT skies are you currently on?

I think they are the msp 161s or 162s, something like that. they run very well with park and arent to flexy which makes them a bit heavy, but doing 3s feels good on them. they are from i think 2011-12 which makes them an old model. for the next season i definitely want a newer pair. i’m in love with these so i feel like a newer version will suit me good

Yeah you will def like the Switch then. The MSP are more of their stable all mountain charger and the Switch has more pop and better for screwing around. I have been riding 4FRNT skis since 2007 so Im always stoked to see people support the brand.
