The MSP is 4FRNT founder Matt Sterbenz's signature model, and it just keeps getting better every year. From the park and pipe to the steep and deep, the MSP kills it with stiff, solid construction and a finely-tuned all-mountain profile. The new dual-radius sidecut takes the MSP from a true twin to a slightly directional shape, starting off tighter for easier turn initiation on hardpack and tapering aft to kill the squirrely nature most park skis show at speed. 4FRNT's full-length MEGA wood core gives the MSP smooth, energetic flex and plenty of pop for Whistler B.C. step-ups, while the mid-fat waist underfoot provides float in the light stuff and busts crud. This 4FRNT ski's burly wood core construction, ABS sidewalls and over-sized wrapped edges endure seasons of gnarly abuse without running home to momma.
Bottom Line: The MSP has been in 4FRNT's lineup from day one. Where have YOU been?
The 4FRNT MSP is a pretty good all mtn ski. Works well in crud and will hold an edge on the groomers. I normally ski fatter sticks but these are fun. These skis can do it all but would pick something wider for the deep days.
I have the 07/08 MSPs in 181 and have just got back from destroying them in Utah for a couple of weeks. With a waist of 92mm they are never going to be great in deep powder but I have to say they are fantastic in just about every other condition. They inspire confidence with their grip on the hardpack, deal with sheet-ice faultlessly, surf through ankle deep fluff. OK, in the deep of Powder Mountain they were not quite upto it - or was that me ? There is no such thing as a one-ski quiver but these do a pretty good impression of one.
