Specs & Construction >
In it's first year, the MSPW instantly became our most award winning ski. It is named after our company's founder, Matt Sterbenz, who designed it to be an incredibly versatile resort ski for women. Unlike other brand's watered down "women's" skis, this ski is high performance, so whatever energy you put into this ski, it will give it right back to you and then some. It is incredibly intuitive, after one turn you will feel like you finally found your long lost soulmate. With a crisp and damp feeling on edge, you can make effortless turns down fresh groomers and continue crushing late into the day. If it happened to snow, lucky you, with the big shovel design and gradual rocker rise in the tip and tail, you will float and plane with ease. The MSPW is a ski that can do it all with style and grace.

BEST. SKIS.
These skis are AWESOME. Absolutely crush it in any condition. They are very stiff which was intimidating at first, but they absolutely rip on groomers and hard pack, plow through crud and are surprisingly nimble in the trees and bumps. These are now my go-to skis, completely reliable in any condition and carve like a race ski. Probably a bit too heavy for touring, but PERFECT for absolutely anything else. Thanks 4FRNT!

RIPPIN SKIS!
These are awesome skis! They love to go fast but can handle bumps and steeps and trees with ease. I use them for work as a ski patroller and they are a great every day workhorse. They also do well in powder with a bit of tip rocker. For an every day quiver of one resort ski they are my favorites!

Ski Construction and Technology
1
ContourCore™
>
A women specific design to create leverage where power is centrally generated. Our discovery proved men are more common to drive a ski from their torso whereas a woman's strength generally came from their hips. Sighting the path of power transmission, it was obvious women power a ski rearward from men, therefore we began testing in our White Room shifting the core’s apex of our womens' skis rearward to naturally match the point of power, all the while maintaining balance and positioning with the skis natural sidecut center, and it worked.
2
Titanal
>
We create a balanced composition of metal laminates, bonded to the top and bottom of the core, to increase torsional rigidity as metal cannot stretch in any direction resulting in extreme edge hold and dampness at speed. Titanal is not to be confused with Titanium, it is a treated, hardened T6 7075 Rolled Aluminum Alloy.
3
NeoTip™
>
Eliminating deflection, delamination and fractures in the ski tip. These three issues have long plagued the durability of freeride skis due to the abrupt change in snow conditions and tip slap on impact from catching air. The bordering material in a ski tip that joins the core end is most commonly comprised of hard, non-elastic polymers. We began experimentation in our White Room using different grades of Neoprene to withstand the shearing impacts and provide absorption for change in conditions. The result is a dampened feel that calms the ski feel and increases the durability.
4
Tail Block
>
A complex insert which adjoins the core end and runs out to the tail edge perimeter. Full wrap metal edge skis often stood on their tail end have a tendency to delaminate, due the weak joint bearing the skis weight between metal, rubber and fiberglass. A tail block eliminates the sensitive joint between laminates and edge and allows for non-invasive customization for skin tail clips if so desired.
5
Poplar
>
The most commonly used species of wood for ski cores is Poplar. We vertically laminate the Poplar beams to create a smooth, even flexing ski. To increase the torsional strength in comparison to Paulownia or Aspen, we use Titanal laminates top and bottom to create a smooth flexing yet razor sharp edge feel.
6
Semi Cap ABS Sidewall
>
Similar to how you construct a sandwich, layers of premium raw material pile high into a 3D cavity that secures the shape outline with an ABS sidewall over edge. The semi cap design provides longevity and durability of the top sheet edge by stepping down from the square edge of the sidewall leaving a smooth 360 degree round-contoured edge perimeter. The exposed sidewall protects the core from moisture while also dampening vibrations.
7
Sintered Base
>
Our premium ski base, also known in the industry as a “race base” because it integrates carbon to further strengthen its gliding properties. At 1.3mm this fast, freely gliding and tough carbon base is much more durable than other base material and matches perfectly with our 2mm edge material. The sintering process occurs prior to extrusion, where the the carbon and plastic enter into an extruder in pellet form, therefore individually contributing its own dense properties to the final product.
