The Hella Big Air Competition at Mt. Bachelor has become a "must watch"Â event with some of the industry's top competitors battling it out for over $15,000 in prize money. This year our own Ian Hamilton showed up and threw down. We'll let him tell you the full story...
"Last season I more or less retired from serious competitions. When my buddy, Dean Bercovitch, suggested we drive 11 hours to Mt. Bachelor, directly from a backcountry trip in Montana I was a little hesitant. But, the $15,000 in prize money convinced me, and we drove west on Friday to compete on Saturday. I hadn't been hitting many big park jumps, so I had low expectations as there was a strong field of talented skiers; Jonah Williams, Noah Morrison, Nicky Keefer, Jaime Melton, and others. I felt confident on my skis and managed to qualify first into finals with my favorite trick, the Double Misty 1080. The Final was best 2 jumps out of three and I managed to put down my Dub Misty 10 double safety and Switch Misty 10 Truckdriver on my first two jumps. Since I qualified first I was the last man to drop. With nothing to lose I decided to send it and go for a Dub Misty 1260. I managed to stomp it and end up 2nd on the podium with two close friends. Needless to say I'll probably be entering more big air competitions." - Ian Hamilton

This segment is one with deep roots in friendship and skiing. Stinius and Knut grew up in skiing together, best friends from the early days in Oppdal, Norway. They hit urban spots, rode park, built backcountry booters, and fired off hot laps all day long at the local mountain. Today Stinius is one of the most exciting freeride skiers in the world of skiing, and Knut has grown into an incredible videographer and editor. 'Late Bloomers' is a reflection of where they are today.

4FRNT announces a new logo. We wanted a refresh in branding that is both clean and iconic. The new ?4? was designed to reminisce classic ski branding but also to be modern and timeless, an evolution of the brand while keeping us tied to our roots.
15 % Lighter Touring Skis
Eric Hjorleifson and Kye Petersens' signature shapes got 15% lighter. This was achieved by adjusting the core materials in our HOJI and across all KYE skis to a premium Poplar & Paulownia core while our Ravens and Renegades are now built with a our Whiteroom Neo Core.
The Raven Reshaped and New Size
This new freeride touring specialized shape is a fine-tuned masterpiece of it?s original.
Broadened the waist slightly by 2 mms
Lengthened the turning radius to 29m
Altered the camber profile to an extremely gradual 30m reverse camber
This allows fluid turns in the soft snow, edge hold when it?s firm, and superior maneuverability all around. More yet, a 190 cm length added for the taller guys.
The Vandal
A buttery and yet playful park ski that is still incredibly stable. The early rise tip & tail help you get up on your tips easier to butter, well, everything.
The Originator
This is our throwback to the roots of the Freeskiing movement, mogul skiing. As a brand with its birthplace in the heart of the freeskiing movement we simply couldn?t consider our line complete without satisfying our inner Hotdog.
