The MSP 99 returns as 4FRNT's most awarded ski. Ski Magazine, Outside, and Blister have all put it at the top of the all-mountain category, and it has held that position through multiple redesigns rather than coasting on one good season.
This version is a real rework. 4FRNT took 10% off the running surface with a more gradual early rise in the tip and tail, and softened the flex by roughly 6%. The result is a ski that asks less of you to get on and off an edge, with quicker turn initiation and more rebound out of the turn.
Underfoot it is an aspen hardwood core with edge to edge titanal laminate. The aspen gives you a smooth damp ride and good binding retention. The titanal adds torsional rigidity without killing the liveliness, which is where the edge hold comes from.
A balanced rocker and camber profile keeps it intuitive on groomers, stable through chop, and floaty enough on a soft day. A 99mm waist is an honest width for skiing here: wide enough for the day it actually snows, narrow enough to hold on the hardpack you will ski the other five days.
