4frnt boys building David Wise's Winter X-Games winning ski (we think) -- Video
When the Backcountry Skiing Canada crew was in Salt Lake for the Outdoor Retailer show a few weeks back, we skied with Cody Barnhill at Snowbird and he invited us back to the 4frnt White Room on S. West Temple Street. We took him up on his offer and shot a little video of he and his colleague building a ski. We aren't sure, but we think the ski they made that day was used by David Wise to win the super pipe comp at the Winter X Games about a week after our visit. Cool. Thanks to Cody and 4frnt for their hospitality. It was very interesting for us to see their process. 4frnt is making some great skis these days and we hope to include a model in our review program soon. Oh, and look out for a new ski in their line-up, the “Cody.”
