4FRNT Skis

YLE Ski

If there are backcountry booters, cliff drops, and pow lines on the menu, the 4FRNT YLE Ski is the utensil you want to pick up. It's the signature plank of backcountry freestyle boss Wiley Miller, so it's no surprise that it comes with a stomp-happy 119mm waist, a near-center mounting point for silky smooth spinning, and a fully symmetrical twin-tip design for almost-too-easy switch riding. It's the ski Wiley's ridden to backcountry freestyle podiums, so it's sickness shouldn't be surprising, but we bet you'll still be blown away by the combination of rockered tips and tails and camber underfoot, which lets you slash loose turns and gives you the versatility to make whatever sort of turn you want without sacrificing all your edge grip.

The YLE isn't meant to be light as a feather—more solid means more stompy—but the wood core and semi-cap construction keeps weight down for increased pop and better spinning, and the fiberglass laminates give the ski plenty of pop so you can get maximum boost off backcountry booters, wind lips, and cliff hits. The ski's ABS sidewalls provide the edge hold that you need when you're rallying into a step up, and the sintered carbon base keeps things lightning quick, so you don't short Chad's gap and end up splattered on the backside of the landing.
