4FRNT's 6th team movie theme is centered on a world where nearly everyone's heads are buried in a mobile device and friendships and interactions between humans are dwindling. People would rather live through the Internet than spend actual quality time outside with real people. HERE and NOW is a ski movie that showcases the skiing of Eric Hjorleifson, David Wise, Wiley Miller, Thayne Rich and Cam Riley with friends and their escape to the outdoors.

This week Tech Talk walks you through a few common problems people have with the care of their skis.
We also included a bonus edit of Andy Partridge slaying the Park City park a few weeks ago.
This week we talk about the basic equipment needed to get into the backcountry. Make sure that you get all of the proper education before you go out.
Although the dart landed in a resort, we still managed to get out of the ski area boundaries and into the backcountry. Due to foggy skies and weak snowpack, we were unable to access the pin-pointed destination. We played it safe and skied the trees. The Canyons Resort received roughly 8 inches overnight and made for a surprisingly fun day. enjoy
Team Rider and Seattle resident, Corey Nugent, has called Alpental his home mountain for 24 years. From his days as a freeride coach to living in his '94 Ford Explorer in the parking lot, Corey shows us around his backyard. Read Corey's story - https://4frnt.com/blogs/blog/alpentalskiing

A freeskiing competition, featuring jumps and natural terrain for all ranges of difficulty, ability and gnarlyness.

This week we wanted to give you a behind-the-scenes look at the HOJI, which will be in stores next fall. This video was done over the summer for internal use, and we thought we'd share it with all of you. (PS - the ski was originally going to be named the HOJ when this video was made.)
This Is The Life highlights the silent heroes in our sport that make skiing possible year in and year out. We set our sights on Alta, but these stories could be told at any ski hill in the world. Cheers to all the unsung champions of skiing. The people who aren't on magazine covers or signing deals with sponsors, who don't have 30K followers on instagram to spray their lifestyle to. Cheers to you.
On April 15th 2015 the tax man delivered our refund early...in the form of 40" of fresh. The KYE 120, unlike the IRS, is as predictable and smooth as ever in deep snow. If you want to have fun on a powder day, you can't afford not to have the KYE 120.
