The 4FRNT MSP 99 is the brand's most awarded ski, with honors from Ski Magazine, Outside and Blister in the all-mountain category. It is built for versatility, stable on hardpack and floaty when it snows.
For 26/27 4FRNT re-engineered it to release off the edge more easily. The running surface is 10 percent shorter, a new gradual early rise sits in the tip and tail, and the flex is about 6 percent softer, so it is easier to engage and disengage the edge.
The titanal laminate is still there for torsional rigidity and edge grip, paired with a lightweight aspen hardwood core for a damp, energetic ride, a neoprene rubber tip to absorb vibration and a sintered base that holds wax and glides well. Traditional camber underfoot adds precision on firm snow.
The result floats through skied-up powder and stays calm in trees, bumped steeps and tight terrain. With metal in it, it still rewards a skier who drives it more than a soft, forgiving ski would.
For skiers who want one ski for every condition on the hill, the MSP 99 is an easy pick we love to recommend.
A mid-width waist, moderate turn radius and balanced rocker for stability on hardpack and float in soft snow.
Traditional camber underfoot gives edge control, energy and precision on firm snow.
A metal laminate adds torsional rigidity and edge grip while staying responsive.
A lightweight, durable hardwood core for an energetic, damp ride with smooth flex.
Flexible neoprene in the tip absorbs vibration and impact for a smoother, steadier ride.
A high-density base that holds wax longer and glides fast.

This guide is for alpine (downhill) skis. Ski length depends on your height, your ability, and how you like to ski. Use this chart as a starting point, then talk to us about the ski itself: rocker, width, and turn shape all change how long a ski feels.
