If you see untracked powder, pillows, and natural rollers as your canvas, then Wiley Miller's 4FRNT YLE Ski could be the paintbrush you need to artfully apply buttery spins and hand-drags in your favorite backcountry zones. Built for the blowiest of the blower, this symmetrical spin monster seeks big, natural hits where it easily launches and lands switch (or that other way) while tearing a huge, manly line through perfectly untouched wilderness. When without a heli or other means of self ascension, the YLE is more than content floating laps of deep, lift-accessed sweetness.

  • The Hi-Lite Woodcore Block uses poplar and beech to provide a playful platform with lots of rebound for spinning, slarving, and buttering up fat pillows
  • Hand-made semi-cap (torsion box) construction fuses the topsheet onto the core, fiberglass, and base with attached, abbreviated sidewalls that yield strength and stability during face-melting speeds
  • The cambered tip and tail provide poppy float in everything from deep pow to manky crud while skiing switch or regular while the traditional camber underfoot grabs cat tracks on the way back to the tram
  • Made to be mounted near the center so you're balanced when spinning, buttering, or landing switch
  • X4 Dampening system features rubber foil between the edge and core to silence chatter during high-speed turns
  • Long-lasting Q45 fiberglass sheets add longitudinal and torsional stiffness for sustained raging on crud and hardpack between righteous dumps
  • Deflect ABS sidewalls and a 360 full wrap metal edge channel the power from your ski-bum legs directly to the snow for controlling your downhill destiny
  • The gonzo-style graphics were created by Max Neutra

Bottom Line: An all-new, all-time pow plank to help you get all Wiley on the mountain.

Bibby's vs. YLE's? I am looking to switch to something

Bibby's vs. YLE's?

I am looking to switch to something new from my Scott P4's. I am about 5'10"/170 lbs. I live in Michigan (I know not a skiers mecca) but have been skiing out West more than in Michigan. I don't do alot of spinning, like to ride switch from time to time, I want a ski that can handle it all for when I head out west, groomers, drops, powder, etc. I was sold on the Bibby's until I found the YLE's, any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

I haven't ridden these skis, but I used to have the P4 and I have two pairs of the Bibby. in my opinion if you don't spin a lot and you only ski switch occasionally, there's not much reason to buy a 100% symmetrical, center mount ski. The Bibby is sick, probably one of the best all-around pow/big mountain skis out there, and it's made by hand in the USA in Moment's own factory. If you want to ride it switch, mount it +1 or +2 from recommended and you'll be set.

I've been skiing Alta on my CRJs for the past two years, and have been loving life. Then, I got on the YLEs and I was instantly converted.

These are the perfect every day ski, not just for fun jibby pow runs, but also for crud, groomer days and slashing big, fast lines in the backcountry. I even had a pretty fun run through the pipe on these babies.

Get yourself a pair, and don't look back.
