Making the best of a slow start and high-pressure cycles in Utah this season with the 4FRNT Team. A mini-edit put together by Team Rider Jake Doan. Stay stoked friends!

Eric Hjorleifson "HOJI" is one of the most respected and inspiring big mountain skiers of recent decades. We're honored to have been designing award winning skis together since 4FRNT's start in 2002! Whether straight lining under the tram or etching your way down a glorious backcountry spine, Eric's new collection of award winning skis never shows weakness in the steep and deep!
"This was one of the best seasons I've ever had. It was my first year shooting with Good Company and Level1. Everything came together and I was in the right place at the right time; not to mention there were all-time conditions that year. It was also my first year of building my pro-model ski, the InThayne with 4FRNT." Read Thayne's full story HERE!
4FRNT follows pro athlete Wiley MIller through a standard day in the life.
Last winter, Team Rider Corey Nugent transitioned from full-time skier to 'Weekend Warrior' and was still able to put together this fire edit. Watch the edit and follow the link if you want to read Corey's full story.

"I never realized how valuable creative expression was for my mental health until I created this edit. I hope that this video resonates with everyone and inspires you to take some time to express yourself. Whether it’s painting, dancing, singing or skiing, a creative outlet is such a powerful method of mindfulness and self-care. Wishing everyone well during this tough time, hope to see on the slopes!" - Ian

Nothing can get in the way of Hoji and a crispy cold beer waiting at the bottom of a run. Especially not a ton of powder and a never ending line of pillow poppers in Interior British Columbia. Buckle up!!
Pulled out Thayne's clips from STRICTLY 'DELETE'
Ask Cal Carson and he'll say its don't stop won't stop park all day. Rising to Cal's 3 feet high and rising needs is our Switchblade, a competition grade slopestyle ski, built rugged enough for day in day out hammers, yet poppy and cut enough to grip and rip the fall line on the daily. Need something in between, we got you, but first check out this bonus piece of Cal from the 15/16 season featured in HERE and NOW!
The only worthy roof for the talents of Eric Hjorleifson and Thayne Rich is in a backcountry touring hut, where life remains primitive and the skiing, well, radical. This is a complete 4FRNT adventure with great disparity between top talents, each driven to create content from alternating perspectives.
What happens when you put the GAH poster boy (Hoji) in a hut with a rookie like Thayne? Does the puppy breathe life into the old dog? Does he fall in line, one kick turn at a time?
The 2-part Meadow Lodge documents a 3-day adventure with Eric and Thayne in The Esplanades, an eastern sub range of The Columbia’s where the terrain flows east to the Columbia Rivers’ Kinbasket Lake.
Enjoy the crafts of these two backcountry skiers as they literally ski from the door of Meadow Lodge down fluted spines, endless pillows and perfectly gladed tree runs.

Part 1 of 4: Goldpan, Turnagain Pass, Alaska
Every year team rider Josh Randich invites us up but every spring we get wadded up and can’t break free. This year we decided to pull the trigger early, at a time when arguably the Wasatch and Tetons are at a historical height, not to mention whats happening in Japan, to get a different perspective on AK. Josh has been teasing us with glistening maritime south facing features for years and its time we get up close and amplify the high times found in the Chugach mid season.
Our shred crew consisted of Josh and Wiley Miller. Austin Ramaley, Carson Meyer and myself were there to capture the action. We arrived February 1st and we spent 4 of the next 6 consecutive days climbing south facing spine walls right off the road. Only in AK and for only 1 week, we were living the dream!
