I Tried 4FRNT's New Pro Model Ski–Here's How it Went

In the summer of 2024, I heard a rumor that 4FRNT’s Norwegian athlete, Stinius Skjøtskift, was working on developing a pro-model ski for the brand. Already a die-hard lover of the brand’s other skis and with high hopes that a ski designed by Skjøtskift would be as dreamy as he is, I couldn’t wait to get on a pair.

4FRNT is a brand that prides itself on being skier-driven, above all else. As a result, a chunk of their lineup (and their most popular skis, by no coincidence) are "pro models" developed closely with their athlete team.
